The project has been discussed for more than 10 years with substantial public feedback. Main Street Momentum will include pedestrian crossings and intersection improvements at several key points in downtown Zionsville. A peanut roundabout will be built at the intersection of Main Street and Sycamore Street and First Street. Additional pedestrian crossings will be added along First Street and to Lions Park. A traffic signal will also be added at the intersection of First Street and Oak Street.

“Zionsville’s current traffic grid was designed for trains, before cars were even invented,” said Zionsville Mayor John Stehr. “We’ve studied the problem for years and now is the right time to move forward with this critical project. Main Street Momentum will make the entryway to our town more efficient for emergency responders and vehicles, and safer for pedestrians. At the same time, it will enhance access to our historic Village and our iconic brick-paved Main Street.”

Design is expected to be complete by Summer 2026. Utility relocation is anticipated to begin in 2026, and construction is expected to take place in 2027. A detailed construction schedule will be developed when design is complete.

Improvements as part of the project will strengthen pedestrian safety and accessibility. Visual elements will reflect the beauty and charm of the historic Village of Zionsville and enhance the downtown experience.
