INDIANAPOLIS - People living downtown are looking for changes to what they're calling a dangerous intersection. This is the intersection of College Avenue and Ohio Street. Just this past weekend there was a serious hit-and-run crash at this intersection injuring three people and leaving one person in critical condition. Hoosiers already prepping for busy holiday travel season Crashes in this area are not that uncommon either. According to data from IMPD, there have been at least 16 crashes at this intersection so far this year. This is similar to previous years except in 2023 when there was construction along College Avenue and 2020 during the pandemic. In the last five years, the number reached a peak in 2021 with at least 23 crashes. FOX59/CBS4 spoke with several businesses and people living in the area about the problems in this intersection. Some people did not want to go on camera but said this intersection has always been problematic. One business said they see accidents in the area almost weekly. That is why they are asking for something to be done. “There are a lot of wrecks at this intersection,” said Nick Brock who lives nearby. “I wish that they would do something about this intersection.” The Indianapolis Department of Public Works is working on a solution. A spokesperson said the city has already invested millions of dollars to make this happen. Right now, DPW is in the process of turning College Avenue from a one-way street into a two-way. DPW along with the Federal Highway Administration cites a number of safety improvements by doing this including slower traffic patterns, increased visibility and less confusion out on the roadways. Part of the work is already done. College Avenue is now a two-way street between Market Street and Mass Avenue. This was part of a nearly $2.5 million dollar project. There are plans to convert the rest of College Avenue from Virginia Avenue to Market Street soon. This will be funded through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from the Department of Transportation. DPW said $25 million will be dedicated to a number of road projects including converting eight one-way thoroughfares in central Indianapolis.  IndyGo Purple Line launches But still, others want to see more being done to prevent serious crashes in this area including stricter enforcement on speeding and additional signage. “I think people just travel too fast coming off the highway or getting on the highway and they think that it’s fair game but it's like 35 mph,” Brock said. “People are definitely driving way too fast here,” said Vince Villanueva, another local resident. Going forward, the hope is to make this particular area downtown safer for both drivers and pedestrians. DPW said there is no set timeline for when the two-way conversion will be complete on College Avenue but it is in the works.
