  1. Much needed. Way too much fuel and time wasted in our city due to poorly synchronized lights. Drive in a city that does it well and the difference is so evident. There can’t be too many investments that would yield such a high return in fuel saved, time saved, and increased citizen satisfaction. Ever try driving across 86th Street from Shadeland to Rd. to Zionsville Rd.? Case in point. How about when a new traffic light was put in front of IUPUI making it no longer possible to go down Martin Luther King at the speed limit with no stops? Or going north from the city late at night, driving the speed limit but stopping at multiple lights with no one in sight? When the Red Line work was done along College, there was apparent effort to synchronize, which makes the street better to drive despite losing a lane for a long stretch. If new lights and greater attention to synchronization are coming, it will be a welcome, if long overdue, improvement.

  2. I agree, Mickey L. much needed, but why stop there? Major arteries into downtown like Binford, Keystone-Fall Creek, and Michigan Rd. could also use a tune-up. I’m sure arteries coming into downtown from the south could too, but I’m not familiar with which ones.

    1. I use Binford somewhat regularly. My experience is it is a pretty smooth ride while on Binford, but more likely to hit a light if you’re going east/west on Kessler, 71, etc.. I think that is the city’s intent.

      Before the recent repairs though, I would agree. I would constantly hit lights while on Binford.

  3. Bravo! Great to see modernization and adoption of technology to improve lives for all Hoosiers. Lets be prepared to monitor the effects of these improvements and share expand across the state!
