Roads in Indianapolis have been a conversation starter for many Hoosiers who live in Central Indiana.2022 saw 298 people hit, 40 were killed. That topped 2020's record of 39 deaths. So far in 2023, 53 pedestrians have been struck and seven have died, according to IMPD.Among those killed was Jonathan Fahey, 34.
"We walk thorough parking lots and cars be driving through. What are we suppose to do, we got to step out of the way, right? In all actuality, we should have a path we can go through," Thomas said.He says he has trouble going to the businesses along Shadeland when walking. While we did not receive this specific grant funding for the year, 2023 will see a historic amount of funding toward our capital infrastructure. We continue to develop projects with safety in mind, especially for vulnerable users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
