I continue to be impressed with @IndyPedCrisis for his service to the City by collecting the data needed to spur change: indystar.com/story/news/inve…

Danger growing on Indianapolis streets as city works to protect pedestrians and bicyclists

Last year, 238 people were killed or taken to the hospital in Marion County after being struck by vehicles, the largest number since at least 2015.

This is hard to watch as a cyclist. Jakob Morales who survived a hit and run calls for "dedicated funding to make sure we design roads safely." @IndyPedCrisis wthr.com/article/news/local/…

'Completely preventable' | Bicyclist calls for change after terrifying crash caught on camera

Jakob Morales was riding on Brookside Parkway South Drive, near North Rural and 10th streets, when he was hit by a gold Chevrolet.

It was an eventful City County Council meeting last night to put it mildly. @MichaelLeppert did a great job summing up the disgusting sexual harassment scandal hitting Indy City gov’t right now. indianacapitalchronicle.com/…

Politics is power; sexual harassment is the abuse of it • Indiana Capital Chronicle

Mayor Joe Hogsett is under fire for his mishandling of numerous sexual harassment allegations made against former a former top aide.

Looks like a deal will kill SB52 and the Blue Line will move forward. indystar.com/story/news/poli… @Transit4Indy

Senate Bill 52, the dedicated lanes bill IndyGo says threatens Blue Line, is dead

Senate Bill 52, the bill banning dedicated lanes in Indianapolis for a year and potentially derailing IndyGo's Blue Line, is dead.

Watching the opposition testimony by our community against Republican-led SB52 that would effectively stop Indy's Blue Line, including words from Cassandra Crutchfield, who lost her daughter Hannah, age 7, to a reckless driver in front of Hannah's school on Washington Street. This is about Republicans undermining Democratic local control at the expense of public safety, including CHILDREN. When will it stop?

When I get asked who is the greatest basketball player from IN, I surprise people by saying Oscar Robertson. Great article on why: theathletic.com/5264188/2024…

Oscar Robertson, and Indianapolis, deserve center stage during NBA’s showcase weekend

"You say Oscar Robertson, you're defining greatness," says Wayne Embry, Robertson's Hall of Fame teammate with the Cincinnati Royals.

SB52 has been scheduled and noticed for hearing next Tuesday, 2/20 at 8:30am. We are in close coordination with our colleagues at the Statehouse to understand the format of the hearing (how much testimony will be allowed, how long the hearing will last, etc.). A🧵of how to help!

ATTENTION Indy. SB52 just passed the IN Senate and will effectively kill the Blue Line. This is a real threat and requires action. Please contact your State Rep. & let them know that you support a reliable & convenient transit system in Indy! transitdrivesindy.com/

Today SB 52 passed the Senate despite bipartisan opposition & the advocacy of Hoosiers from all over the state. But, the fight is not over. I'm sticking in this one with you until the very end. #TransitIsEssential Read & share my full statement: indianasenatedemocrats.org/s…

Data shows that Indy has already had more pedestrian and cyclist incidents over the first 10 months of 2023 than any year since 2015. Some progress has been made, but we need a policy response equal to the problem! indystar.com/story/news/poli…

'A crisis': After deadliest year for pedestrians, here's what Hogsett, Shreve propose.

In neighborhoods without sidewalks, voters said they want to know how Mayor Joe Hogsett and Republican Jefferson Shreve would keep pedestrians safe.
