The city of Indianapolis is rolling out a new snow removal policy that aims to address concerns from residents after their streets went unplowed following a 2024 winter storm.

Officials celebrated the completed conversion of two Indianapolis streets from one-way to now two-way traffic on Friday morning. The changes made to Michigan Street and New York Street include new bike lanes, bus stops and reduced speed limits.

Crews with the Indianapolis Department of Public Works have responded to nearly 13,000 fewer service requests this year compared to this same time in 2022.

Indianapolis has kicked off its infrastructure projects for 2023, with an added investment this season.

Work on Broad Ripple Avenue between Winthrop and Guilford avenues has finished a few weeks early.

More than $240 million has been pumped into the Department of Public Works capital investments this year.

A portion of West Washington Street recently excluded from bus rapid transit investment is targeted for infrastructure upgrades.

The Department of Public Works says preparations are well underway for the snow season and crews have been training for weeks.

Motorists using the Monon Trail for quick detours around Broad Ripple street closures are putting trail users in danger.

The new garage is the latest major facility project to get underway as part of the Circle City Forward initiative.
