IndyStar: 'Complete Streets' 2.0: Eyeing safety, Indianapolis revises 10-year-old road design policy

The revised ordinance, adopted by the council Monday night, gets far more specific, and includes an expanded emphasis on transparency and equity.

It says the policy applies not just to city projects and private developers, but to projects undertaken by virtually everyone else, from IndyGo to public utilities to individuals. It adds new performance metrics that the city must report publicly, including the percentage of Complete Streets projects that are within half a mile of a school and the percentage located in underserved neighborhoods.

A new section of the ordinance describes how those performance metrics, as well as any exceptions to the policy, should be reported on the city's website.
