INDIANAPOLIS — An effort to improve pedestrian safety in Indianapolis is one step closer to becoming a reality after a proposal to make greenway crossing zones safer passed out of committee.
"The numbers do not tell the full picture. Really what I am worried about in addition to people getting hit is close calls. Because it's really easy for a close call to become an actual impact or an actual death," Councilman John Barth said.A main upgrade would allow DPW to lower speeds in areas, essentially making it like a school zone at each crossing.
DPW would assess trail crossing in the city, study traffic patterns, and data to determine if speed needs to be lowered.
