    If you look up Carmel Indiana, and the surrounding towns, there are many examples of raised paved multi use trails. They’re actually really nice, but the cities don’t install most of them, the cities are mostly responsible for maintenance. They’re actually installed by housing developers because the cities require it in their zoning. Unfortunately, this can result in a Swiss cheese-like network full of holes and gaps. It’s been getting better over the last couple years as some of those cities (Westfield) took on the responsibility of connecting the neighborhoods, and updated their zoning to require the new neighborhood trails to connect to existing ones.
