RR Flood Protection Survey Available – Complete it by 26-Oct-2018

The Town of Rocky Ripple has been working with the City of Indianapolis, DPW and Butler University to offer Rocky Ripple 100 year flood protection.  The Rocky Ripple Town Board wants to provide you the opportunity to express your opinion about the Option 3 that DPW and the City of Indianapolis are offering.   A copy of the survey is attached here, as well as a summary of the option put together by town residents Mick and Angie, which was previously distributed in hard copy format to each residence.

The Board asks that if you have not already made your stance on this important topic known, please take the time to please submit this form. If you’ve already submitted the previous survey from the meeting at Butler University and have no additional comments or concerns, no further action is requested. The Town Board will take the completed surveys into consideration in our final evaluation.

RR Annual Garage Sale Postponed

The annual Rocky Ripple Neighborhood garage sale scheduled for Sat. Jun 2^nd will be postponed. Due to the construction going on right outside of Rocky Ripple, we are unable to put up the big signs at the entrances to the neighborhood for our annual garage sale.  Therefore we are postponing the sale until the fall at a date to be announced.  Please let Mandy Redmond know of any issues with this or suggested dates for the sale in the fall.
