The Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization developed a regional Safe Streets and Roads for All Action Plan as a step toward securing federal funding for infrastructure and other initiatives.

The 2023 budget for the city of Indianapolis invests in public safety, infrastructure, education and property tax relief.

Its part of a more than $7 billion effort nationwide to improve roads, bridges, ports, routes for bicyclists and pedestrians, and other transit.

The Charge Ahead Partnership said when funding for the federal program to create an EV charging network runs out, businesses like gas stations and other retail stores may not be able to afford paying up to $200,000 per charger.

The $18 million South Keystone Outfall project will improve consistent problems with drainage along a three mile stretch.

The Indiana Department of Transportation said 10th Street will close on Monday, July 18, between Bellefontaine Street on the west and Dorman Street/Massachusetts Avenue on the east. It's expected to reopen in September.

Citizens Energy Group says the lane closure is between Central and Park avenues and is expected to last until Sept. 2.

The Indiana Department of Transportation said the northbound Binford Boulevard on-ramp to westbound I-465 is scheduled to close Tuesday morning.

The additional funding will allow the Department of Public Works to address some of the worst roads in Marion County.
