What do sending a text, eating a snack, and messing with the radio have in common? Distracted driving is anything that diverts your attention from the road, including using a cell phone, eating or drinking, and adjusting the radio. Distracted driving is dangerous and can lead to a 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵.

The U.S. Department of Transportation says more than 3,200 people--including 525 pedestrians--were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers in 2024. The Task Force also found that distracted driving is one of the main causes of serious crashes in Indianapolis. 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲? Put your phone down while driving, don't eat or drink when behind the wheel, and limit conversations with passengers.

Happy !

Our tour around Indianapolis’s greenway network has reached the east side. Today’s trail is a great example of how our Greenways Master Plan would, if funded, lead to a future where 80% of Marion County residents live within a mile of a greenway.

Let’s check out the Grassy Creek Connector!

The trail spans 1.3 miles from the Hancock County line to just beyond Grassy Creek Regional Park on Indy’s east side.

There are 14,000 people living and 1,000 jobs located within a mile of the existing greenway today. The expansion envisioned by our Master Plan would bring that to 64,000 people and 18,000 jobs!

Under our proposal, this would be accomplished through a 17.3-mile expansion.

The Grassy Creek Connector would gain new sections to the north and south, allowing for travel from Lawrence all the way to Southeastway Park!

Not only would this connect a wide array of residents, but hundreds of new trees would bring more shade to one of Indy’s warmest areas.

Want to go a step further and dive into the Master Plan?

Scan the QR code or search “Greenways for All” on Indy.gov. There, you can read through and provide comment on the plan.

We’re accepting public comment until October 15!

Road work is set to begin along Edgewood Avenue in Franklin Township. The project will resurface three roads, but the biggest change is coming just in time for ! Crews will add a new pedestrian crossing outside Edgewood Intermediate School.

The intersection will feature a HAWK signal, a pedestrian-activated traffic signal that triggers a flashing yellow light, followed by a steady yellow light, telling approaching traffic to prepare to stop. Then, the signal turns red, bringing traffic to a stop. At this point, pedestrians can safely cross with a walk signal. Work is expected to run through late October.

What is Vision Zero? Vision Zero is Indianapolis’ commitment to eliminating traffic-related deaths and serious injuries.

The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) serves on the Indianapolis Vision Zero Task Force and is committed to advancing Vision Zero through the safe design of our streets, trails, and transportation infrastructure.

People walking and other vulnerable road users are disproportionately impacted by traffic crashes. From 2019 to 2023, they experienced higher rates of fatal and serious-injury crashes than motor vehicle occupants on Indianapolis streets.

Learn more about Indy Vision Zero, explore the Action Plan and Dashboard, and find ways to get involved at indy.gov/topic/vision-zero.

Safer streets are a shared responsibility. Safety is our compass!

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘: Crews will begin middle-of-the-roadway work at the Monon Trail's 86th Street crossing next week to install a new pedestrian refuge island and extend the medians.

86th Street will be open to traffic, but some lanes will be closed temporarily for crew safety.

Stay tuned for more details on additional traffic enhancements and pedestrian safety improvements this project will bring along the entire 86th Street corridor as our crews advance their work on this project.
