Indianapolis Star: Infrastructure project wish list would cost $5 billion

From Indianapolis Star:

Almost a year ago, part of a retaining wall on the Oliver Street bridge fell into the White River on the Near Southside, forcing the closure of a traffic lane. A few blocks south, Department of Public Works engineers have had to impose a weight limit on the Morris Street bridge.  And the sidewalks and curbs on the Meridian Street bridge over the White River on the Northside are crumbling.  The repairs needed at these locations are among the hundreds of infrastructure projects a new city commission has identified and that the city hopes to address over the next three decades.  To undertake them all would cost $5 billion in present-day dollars, or about five times the city-county's annual budget.
