Lloyd Expressway corridor tree removal and replacement
Summary
INDOT's Barker Avenue interchange rebuild will clear about an acre of trees along the Lloyd Expressway. The board secured a two-for-one canopy replacement commitment, with replanting hoped for near the new pedestrian bridge at St. Joe. Construction wraps up in late 2028.

Impact analysis
Tree replanting is handled through INDOT's construction contract, not city tax dollars.
Neighborhoods near the Lloyd get double the canopy back and a tree buffer near the new crosswalk.
The corridor temporarily loses about an acre of tree cover until replacements mature.
