We all know that crossing 16th St at the Monon Trail is less safe than it should be, especially for a crosswalk so close to O’Bannon Park and the nearby playground.
On Saturday, April 25th, a coalition of residents from four neighborhoods have been approved by Indy DPW to install temporary traffic-calming and street murals by local artists at E 16th Street & the Monon Trail crossing. This temporary project is a test run to better inform future, permanent safety improvements.
Stop by to see the installation in action and experience the new safer crossing. You can get involved by signing up to volunteer. Beyond the installation day volunteering, neighbors will be evaluating vehicle speeds before and after the installation, and observing yielding behaviors at the crosswalk.
