INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) is seeking the public’s feedback on eight different two-way street conversions across the Downtown area. Funding for these projects comes in large part from a $25 million Rebuilding America’s Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Public meetings for design feedback and review will be held at later dates, but residents are encouraged to submit commentary now to help guide design from the earliest stages. Visit rb.gy/mjroyf for feedback forms.
Two-way conversion projects are meant to calm traffic and improve safety for all road users, boost connectivity, spur new development, and enhance quality of life. These improvements will make residents safer, spur economic development in the community, and improve quality of life.
Two-way conversions will take place on:
• Capitol Ave. from 21st to 38th
• Illinois St. from 21st to 38th
• Pennsylvania from I-65N to Fall Creek Parkway S Dr.
• Delaware from I-65N to Fall Creek Parkway S Dr.
• Alabama from Washington to Michigan
• New Jersey from Washington to Michigan
• East St. from Washington to 10th St.
• College Ave. from Virginia Ave. to Market Street
The RAISE grant will be matched by more than $20 million in local funds for a total project cost of $46.5 million. Indy DPW anticipates construction will begin in 2027.
DPW is currently in the process of converting East Michigan and East New York streets to two-way thoroughfares.
