INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WISH) After Monday’s snowstorm, some sidewalks along Meridian Street and other parts of the city haven’t been cleared, so pedestrians and people in wheelchairs can find it hard to get to places.
“Even if you have a caretaker with you that’s helping you get around, it’s just going to take three times as long to get anywhere,” said David Dreith, president and chief executive office of Easterseals Crossroads.
According to the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, the city relies on its homeowners and businesses to help remove the snow on the sidewalks and make it passable. If the snow isn’t removed, homeowners and businesses could be fined $50 unless the snow was thrown on the sidewalk by a snowplow.

Indianapolis will not close Massachusetts Avenue and Broad Ripple Avenue for any anticipated March Madness crowd that could descend upon the city next month.
The Department of Public Works made the decision to keep those streets open following a survey of restaurants that opted to expand seating into the public right-of-way during the pandemic last year, according to spokesman Ben Easley.
The city is still determining whether to close Georgia Street in the heart of downtown, closer to where March Madness fans could congregate. Easley said the department hopes to communicate a plan for Georgia Street soon, while continuing to coordinate with the NCAA on its needs for the tournament.
