During the recent City-County Council meeting in Indianapolis, a series of proposals aimed at enhancing traffic safety received unanimous support from council members. Notably, several proposals were approved to implement intersection controls and reduce speed limits in various neighborhoods, reflecting the council's commitment to improving community safety.

Among the key decisions, intersection controls were authorized at the intersections of 50 Sixth Street and Haverford Avenue, as well as Lynnhurst Drive and Mooresville Road. These measures are expected to help manage traffic flow and reduce the risk of accidents in these busy areas.

In addition to intersection controls, the council approved multiple proposals to lower speed limits to 25 miles per hour in several neighborhoods, including Canterbury, Forest Hills, Buck Creek Village, Cedar Park, Diamond Place, Boulevard Manor, and Kessler Park. This initiative aims to create safer environments for pedestrians and residents, particularly in areas with high foot traffic.

All proposals passed out of committee with a strong vote of 12 to 0, indicating a clear consensus among council members on the importance of these safety measures. The swift approval of these initiatives highlights the council's proactive approach to addressing community concerns regarding traffic safety.

As these changes take effect, residents can expect a more secure and navigable environment, reinforcing the council's ongoing efforts to prioritize public safety and enhance the quality of life in Indianapolis neighborhoods.
