Carmel shows its Pride
Congratulations to the Carmel high school student organizers and everyone involved in the second annual Carmel Pride festival that was held Sunday, June 5 at Carter Green. The event, attended by all ages, featured more than 60 vendor and informational booths, food trucks and live entertainment.
City using new technology to assess road conditions
The City of Carmel Street Department has partnered with StreetScan; a company that employs vehicle-mounted sensing technology to assess road conditions. The system uses technology to determine the health of each street and to identify road defects including potholes, bumps and cracking.
Up until now, the Street Department relied solely on visual assessments of streets by Street Department Staff to determine which ones needed to be repaired or repaved. This new technology will help supplement those efforts to identify and prioritize repairs and ensure that streets are kept in the best condition.
