INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis City-County Council recently approved $25 million dedicated to residential street resurfacing in 2024, marking the third consecutive year of funding for the rehabilitation of streets across Indianapolis neighborhoods.
Since 2016, Indy DPW has constructed over 1,250 lane miles of resurfacing, 1,000 lane miles of strip-patching, two residential resurfacing packages, 103 miles of sidewalks, 8,000 new ADA ramps, 32 miles of bike lanes, 35 miles of new trails and 4,000 crosswalks.
Indy DPW’s proposed budget for 2024 will allow to the department to continue rebuilding roads and resolving stormwater issues across Marion County at a record pace.
The 2024 Indy DPW budget proposal includes an added $100 million to the department’s five-year capital operating plan. The plan will increase the five-year capital plan to $1.2 billion.
In the first two quarters of 2023, Indy DPW has completed 38 projects. Many of the projects planned for 2023 are underway and 17 more projects are expected to bid and begin in 2023.
The full allocation of Indy DPW’s 2024 budget will be voted on by the City-County Council on October 16, 2023.
