Inaccurate information in this article – Vue was developed by Herman & Kittle Properties, Inc.
A space that close to the future Blue Line, not to mention within walking distance of Sun King, Indiana City Brewing, and Metazoa is prime for some positive, dense development.
Lots of pushback on the Blue Line by business and property owners on the West side.
Push back regarding Blue Line is based on perception and does not reflect traffic analysis. Not being able to turn left everywhere is a benefit to traffic using Washington Street, Protected turns would be provided every 1/2 mile or more often and thereby allow better and safer access to destination on either side of the street. Washington St right of way and the lack of parking would accommodate 2 lanes in each direction plus one reversible use or two BRT lanes without significant impact to adjacent properties. Passenger platforms would be center or side depending on location and traffic analysis for the adjacent intersection. And, for the comments about BRT impact traffic to the airport, I would opine the majority of trips to the airport use I-70 and local area trips, particularly from the north and south within Wayne Township are not using Washington Street for airport access. W. Washington Street sorely needs improvement for the roadway, signals and the absent sidewalks. The current streetscape is an embarrassment and does not present a positive image of Indianapolis. Implementing the Blue Line BRT presents an opportunity for a major and significant improvement for transit and for roadway infrastructure. One must bear in mind that BRT design can vary by segment, W. Washington may feature a cross sections quite different from E. Washington, and the cross sections can vary along the length of the project. One size does not fit all, nor should it.
I don’t understand the negativity about the Red Line and the other lines to come for the city, especially from people who don’t or won’t ride the bus. There are many people who are totally dependent on buses for transportation to various destinations or prefer not to own a car. Indianapolis has been so far behind on transit it’s shameful for a city of this size to be without good public transit. It’s to bad the Red, Blue and Purple Lines couldn’t have been built 20 or 30 years ago. Better late than not at all.
