Institute of Transportation Engineers awards Carmel Main Street Corridor project
The City of Carmel has won a prestigious award from the Institute of Transportation Engineers for the Main Street Corridor project. The project, completed earlier this year, featured two new roundabouts and corridor improvements in front of Carmel High School.
The award - the Safe System Approach Roundabout Project - was presented during National Roundabouts Week on September 19 during a special webinar for transportation engineers from across the country.

“We spend a great deal of time working with expert designers and construction crews to develop projects that benefit our local residents and visitors,” said City Engineer Jeremy Kashman (top photo). “In this case, with so many pedestrians from the largest high school in the state and the library that draws about 600,000 visitors each year, the project took on an even greater importance.”
Kashman led the team on the Main Street Project.
Bradley Pease, PE, City of Carmel Engineering Department (lower photo), was the project manager; the designers included Andrew Wolf of CrossRoad Engineers, PC and Dylan Sievers of RQAW; and the contractor was White Construction.
