Tucson, Indianapolis, Dorset Enhance Pedestrian Safety with New Bridges, Traffic Measures

Tucson is constructing a new pedestrian bridge to enhance safety and connectivity for users of the Chuck Huckelberry Loop trail, with a total investment of $3.6 million. The bridge will connect the east and west segments of the trail, which currently lacks a safe crossing, forcing users to navigate busy streets. Meanwhile, Indianapolis is set to receive over $13 million for pedestrian bridges at the dangerous intersections of 82nd and 86th streets, aimed at preventing further fatalities among cyclists and pedestrians. These projects are part of broader city initiatives focused on improving pedestrian safety and infrastructure, with Indianapolis specifically targeting its Vision Zero plan to eliminate pedestrian deaths. In Inverleigh, repairs are planned for the Federation Pedestrian Bridge, which has been closed since flood damage was reported in 2022. These infrastructure improvements reflect a growing commitment to enhancing safety for outdoor enthusiasts across various regions.
