INDIANAPOLIS — Street locations receiving funding for reconstruction as part of the second phase of the Circle City Forward Initiative have been announced.
Previously announced in May, this phase will invest $25 million in the reconstruction of residential streets across Marion County. These funds will allow Indy DPW to address 280 segments of some of the most deteriorated streets across all City-County Council districts. These 280 segments represent nearly 90 lane miles of roadway.
A full listing of affected streets is available online at https://tinyurl.com/2nw8crs4. Included in the list are 17th St. from Rural to Parker Ave., 14th St. from Shortridge to Payton, 20th St. grom Emerson to Leland, 9th from Olney to Kealing, Atherton N. Dr. from University, Audubon from Oak to Beechwood, and many other residential streets in the area.
The funds were distributed based off a formula developed by Indy DPW and City-County Council leadership to ensure money was distributed equitably. This approach recognized the varying amounts of deteriorated street mileage and varying affluence among neighborhoods.
This $25 million investment equates to about 50% of the amount DPW has been able to spend on residential streets in the previous 5 years.
