Two good examples of this in Indy are Southeastern and Pleasant Run and Emerson and Southport. Two big projects that made those intersections worse but added ADA compliance.

How many of those safety improvements were just ADA updated ADA compliance on existing (terrible) infrastructure? That's the game that Indy has been playing.
I would argue that adding ADA compliance to existing infrastructure can make it less safe, because it provides the "illusion" of safety.

“[Los Angeles city] officials say they are trying: L.A.’s transportation agency pointed to 7,000 safety improvements … since 2017.”
… REALITY:
“The city … has allowed [itself] to wriggle out of … making our sidewalks safe to walk on, and making our streets safe to ride on.”

No thank you. We've already had 3 terms of the Hogsett/Parker/Osili administration.
City-County Council President Vop Osili has announced he won't seek reelection to his leadership post, fueling speculation that he will run for mayor in 2027.
