Abstract
When revitalizing aging urban streets, an early, in-depth investigation holds the keys to success. Property ownership documents are gener-ations old. Utility records are often nonexis-tent. Century-old underground infrastructure must be located and evaluated. The up-front, fact-finding work is more critical, there’s more of it, and it’s more valuable to the end result. Find out how we set the stage for improving a section of US 40, the “First Highway in America,” that runs through Indianapolis.
