Westfield resident Connie Thayer presented her plan for a village taxi service to the Westfield Village Board. She noted that it was difficult for persons in wheelchairs to move around the village. She also felt she could transport wheelchair-bound people for less money than was currently being charged by other transport operations in the county.
