    1. Agreed. That bridge is going to transform the near westside and downtown corridor. The price tag sucks but that’s life post covid. Everything is more expensive. I do hope they preform a study and look for remains and answer some questions.

    2. Yes,
      Careful excavation needs to be done in the early construction.
      Color should not matter.

  1. Having moved to Indianapolis from Northern Virginia years ago, i would suggest city officials put in a call to their counterpart in Alexandria to get more informational on construction management in archeologically sensitive sights. Alexandria’s history dates to the 1700s and was the sight of Revolutionary War and Civil War events as well as the slave trade. The city’s rapid growth in the last 40 years has been complicated by numerous sites where archeological digs were (and continue to be) performed carefully and with utmost sensitivity.

    1. The suggestion by Brent B, is great idea.
      It is right and moral of the city to take measures to look for bodies of those possibly interned in the land in question before the bridge project.
      Just as it should also be done for any projects on the fringe area of Central State land where former patients were buried in unmarked spots.
