Indianapolis Mayoral Candidate Renews His Call for HOT Lanes Study
WIBC reports, Republican State Senator and Indianapolis mayoral candidate Jim Merritt, in his first debate with incumbent mayor Joe Hogsett (D), promoted the idea of building HOT lanes on “several roads throughout Indianapolis in order to generate additional funding for repairing infrastructure. ‘It needs a lot of discussion,’ Merritt said.” Hogsett reportedly favors a “regional infrastructure plan, which would be a push to work with cities and towns that surround Indianapolis . . . to contribute to efforts to repair infrastructure throughout all of central Indiana.”

Portland Press Herald reports, “Citing a spike in traffic deaths over last year, police agencies across Maine are ramping up patrols looking for drunk and drugged drivers during the Labor Day weekend,” a period the Maine Turnpike expects to be particularly busy. “Traffic deaths throughout Maine are up 24 percent from last year, and alcohol played a part in many of those fatalities, says the state Department of Public Safety. So far this year, 105 people have died on Maine roads, compared with 84 deaths on state roads during the same period in 2018.”
