4 thoughts on “City, groups launch beautification effort to prepare for March Madness

  1. It shouldn’t take an even to create a rush to starting cleaning up downtown, especially after the destruction last May. The taxpayers deserve better.

  2. ‘ . . . race related riots . . . ‘ is an inappropriate term not reflective of the protests for equality that were usurped by hooliganism which was wrong. It was was a race riot. A diverse group protested against inequitable treatment in the spheres of police and courts.

    Stop spreading this misrepresentation.

    If each citizen were treated on a [more] equal basis, the protests would not have happened. The continued bias in arrests, handling, bail, and sentencing affecting some population and ethnic groups – this extends beyond just race – must be addressed and rectified.

    The rush to tidy up downtown is nice. But a long-term effort to keep downtown tidy, attractive and growing is an absolute necessity. It is clear that conventions and events are key to downtown success. The city needs to focus on long-term viability to support businesses and restaurants for periods without events.

    Regarding homelessness, few from any urban area would be surprised. Indy’s visible homelessness pales to that of large cities. Respectfully, Indianapolis/Marion County population is high, but the urban character of Indianapolis is, at best, B-scale city. And, with anti-urban Statehouse vindictive laws, Indy will further slide in competition to Columbus, Louisville and Nashville – locations that bring positive thoughts, that pursue proactive planning, and support more proactive planning for all city neighborhoods, not just downtown.
