Impact to Indian Hills will be serious increase usage of Parmalee Gulch by non Indian Hills residents. Heads UP – many have already reported multiple vehicles illegally passing double yellow on Parmalee Gulch with no regard for safety. Some have seen passing on double yellow just before the blind corners.
Be aware of the increased traffic and keep your eyes up for possible head on traffic, of course in addition to all of our wonderful wildlife.
