Be careful as you ride between 38th Street and 42nd Street on College Avenue at night time, because the lights are out!

A local resident, Jared Hall told RTV6, “We have lights on, and then poof one day the lights are gone, and we are left out in the dark — literally and figuratively — as to what’s going on.”

With more people getting on and off the new IndyGo Red Line, residents say they can’t walk at night because it’s completely dark outside. Several residents in that area, including Hall, have reached out to IPL to get answers but are left with conflicting responses.

First, Hall was told the lights were out for construction due to the Red Line. Then, after construction was complete, he was told a series of things including: IPL was not notified of its completion, the city may have decided not to restore the lights, or there could be underground damage they weren’t aware of.

Whew! Thats a lot. Click here to read the full story on the RTV6 website.
