WRTV INVESTIGATES | Concerned homeowners and businesses say the North Split construction is taking its toll— detouring cars and trucks are causing damage to city streets, light poles and crosswalks.
WRTV Investigates has learned the City of Indianapolis is conducting an analysis of the damage and gathering a cost estimate—which will then be shared with INDOT, who will be on the hook for at least part of the repair costs.
Dan Evans is the executive director of Good News Ministries, which operates a shelter, youth home, and thrift store. "It’s because the semis are trying to make these turns, and they just can’t make them,” said Evans. “This is the pole they've been knocking over all the time. You can see it's been damaged. It's been hit again since the last time they knocked it over which was two weeks ago.”
“This intersection isn’t meant for semi traffic,” said Price. “There’s not the clearance to get around this corner.”“Now it's totally inaccessible to any of our neighbors needing it,” said Price. “You have about a six inch drop, so there's no way anyone with a wheelchair could get through that intersection. They'd have to go out in traffic putting themselves in harm’s way."
“That’s what we are assessing,” said Easley. “We are looking at College Avenue, New York Street, Michigan Street and all the other little ones that have been impacted by detouring traffic."It's a little hard to decipher which damage or wear and tear might have happened to detouring interstate traffic versus just regular local traffic that also wears and tears on our streets,” said Easley. “That's the process we are in right now.
