INDIANAPOLIS, IN — The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) celebrated the completion of the West Morris Street Revitalization project. This milestone marks the end of a significant infrastructure upgrade to improve safety and connectivity along the Morris Street corridor from the Eagle Creek bridge to Harding Street.
The West Morris Street Revitalization is part of the city’s Complete Streets initiative, which focuses on ensuring that streets are designed to allow safe access for all users, regardless of age, ability, or mode of transportation. The new, protected multi-use pathway is a key element of the project, promoting healthy, sustainable transportation options.
"The West Morris Street Revitalization Project represents a commitment to safer, more connected neighborhoods," Mayor Joe Hogsett said. "By creating a more accessible and multi-modal corridor, we are investing in the future of Indianapolis and improving the quality of life for our residents."
The $10 million project, which began in 2022, includes a variety of enhancements:
- 3,000-plus feet of new sidewalks equipped with ADA-compliant ramps
- Middle left-turn lane
- Divided medians
- Resurfaced roadways
- Almost 4,500 feet of new storm sewer
- Parking bump-outs
- A multi-use pathway that is almost 4,000 feet long
- Upgraded traffic signals
