Politicians and policymakers have also taken notice. On the day I met with Massie
she was chatting with the Republican mayor of Carmel, Indiana,Jim Brainard, one
of a few lonely climate hawks in his party; he serves on Obama's Task Force on
Climate Change and has rebuilt large sections of his town to make them more
livable and sustainable.

Carmel,Indiana
Carmel is home to more than 90 roundabouts,more than any other city in the United States. In the
1990s, the City began replacing signalized intersections with interestingly landscaped
roundabouts in an effort to make Carmel a safer city for both drivers and pedestrians. Today, the
number of traffic injuries on the city's streets has been reduced by about 80 percent and the
number of crashes overall by about 40 percent.
Streets As Places Strategies: Roundabouts • Safe pedestrian crossings •Green buffers

Downtown Carmel,Indiana
Formerly just an average Indianapolis suburb, the City of Carmel has become a national leader in
attracting new businesses and residents by creating a beautiful, walkable downtown area that
boasts numerous public spaces in which people can socialize and gather. The city's
redevelopment strategy focused on creating an aesthetically appealing downtown by championing
diverse building design and using high-quality materials.
