Carmel Street Department

Huge thank you to Mayor Finkam for spending the afternoon with the Carmel Street Department! 🚧👷‍♂️

We had a great time showing her some of the many ways our crews work every day to keep Carmel safe, clean, and moving smoothly. From stormwater and street maintenance to equipment operations, it was a fun afternoon highlighting the hard work that happens behind the scenes to keep our city looking its best.

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about what we do and for supporting our team! 🚜👏

I’m hanging out with the Carmel Street Department today, learning about all the ways they keep our city in great shape! What questions do you have?!

🚧 Over the coming weeks, contractors will be removing vines along the US 31 ramps as part of ongoing corridor maintenance.

The vine plantings were originally included in INDOT’s landscape design, despite concerns raised by local communities at the time. INDOT is now requiring affected local agencies to remove the vines or have the work completed by INDOT’s contractor, with the cost billed back to the municipalities.

As always, work is weather dependent. We appreciate everyone’s patience as this maintenance is completed and remain committed to keeping these corridors safe, clean, and well maintained for the community.
