INDIANAPOLIS — Recently, the conversion of College Ave. to two-way traffic was completed and opened to the public.
The conversion of College Avenue, which started in the spring of 2023, converted a portion of College Avenue between Market and St. Clair from one-way to two-way traffic. Upgrades to the roadway include protected bike lanes as well as rectangular rapid flashing beacon crosswalk signals. The project cost approximately $3.6 million.
In wake of the street improvements, motorists are strongly advised to mind the new traffic pattern, as well as an increase in cyclist and pedestrian travel in the area.
“The transformation of College Avenue into a two-way street marks a significant change for the neighbors and community around this section of College Avenue,” Bryce Mosey, Vice President of the Lockerbie Square Neighborhood Association. “This change enhances traffic flow and revitalizes the neighborhood with a renewed sense of safety, connectivity and vibrancy.”
