Beginning in June 2016, the Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW), will begin the Broad Ripple Area Traffic Plan. This plan is a pilot program created in coordination with the Broad Ripple Village Association (BRVA), and neighborhood input received at public information meetings in the Broad Ripple area and a neighborhood survey.

The BRVA convened a parking committee comprised of Broad Ripple residents and business owners who volunteered their time to work on various parking solutions. They reviewed survey results, conducted public meetings and met with DPW officials to design the pilot program. Further background may be found on the BRVA website at: http://brva.org/our-work/parking/

This pilot program will be implemented to allow a determination of the effectiveness in improving safety in the community. The following changes will be made:

• The addition of all-way stop signs at the following intersections: Paxton Place and Guilford Avenue; Carrollton Avenue and 60th Street
• The installation of "No Parking Here to Corner" signs which will provide parking restrictions up to 30 feet at intersections.
• Removal of parking lanes on one side of the street near residential areas.

The changes will occur in the area south of Broad Ripple Avenue, north of Kessler Boulevard, east of College Avenue and west of the Monon Trail. A map indicating specific changes is located above.

After 6-9 months, the BRVA and DPW will seek public input as to the effectiveness of the pilot program.
