The Envision Ellettsville Vision Plan, first proposed in 2021, consists of a comprehensive vision for the future to further develop and grow the town. — The school zone speed limit will be reduced between Second Street and Paul Street going eastbound.

The school zone speed limit on a portion of State Road 46 in Ellettsville will be reduced to 25 mph this week to improve safety. The change will go into effect on or after tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31.

The Indiana Department of Transportation announced it will reduce the school zone speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph between Second Street and Paul Street going eastbound in Ellettsville. Seven Oaks Classical School is located between the streets where the speed limit will be reduced.

Weather permitting, school zone signs and flashers will be installed to reinforce the change.

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
