A Project for Safety and Community
Updates!
We’ve already received a lot of great feedback from neighbors. Here are some changes we’ve already made.
- Making every intersection in Little Flower a four-way stop, with the exception of the 13th St and Dequincy Ave neighbor-ways which will give right of way to neighbor-way traffic to make walking and cycling easier.
- Board voted to pass only daylighting and 4-way stops so far.

Timeline
The project’s timeline is dependent on the city. Implementation can be expected in mid-2025 with teardown by November 1st, 2025.
Long Term Solution
We would like to see Univeral Daylighting: every time that DPW upgrades or repaves an intersection city-wide, and specifically in Little Flower, daylighting is included as the standard.
We would also like to see investment by the city into our neighborways. 13th Street is an established neighborway as part of the IndyMoves Pedal Indy 2018 plan and is slated for upgrades at an undetermined time. We want to see 13th Street Neighborway upgrades that safely connect Little Flower with the Brookside Park neighborhood to the West, extend into Community Heights to the East, and further reach the communities near Shadeland Ave in the long term by acquiring slivers of parcels to create trails.
We are envisioning a safer and more connected East Side for non-automobile modes of transportation.
