Smart move! It should have been done at the time construction of the Red Line began. Better late than never though.
Good. Hopefully Indianapolis can return to reasonable planning for a city, not a suburban enclave. In fact, many Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers neighborhoods exhibit more urban-like planning aspects than Indianapolis. Support higher-density development along rapid transit and frequent transit lines is neither a new nor novel guideline, but a return to sound proven planning aspects which supports great cities. One need only look at what are essentially streetcar and commuter rail suburbs in other cities. For Marion County, Broad Ripple and Irvington reflected streetcar ‘suburbs.’ And, the dense(r) development along College Avenue, the last streetcar to operate in Indianapolis, and East Washington Street, indicate the planning principles which once guided development. To the east and west of College and to the north and south of Washington fewer multi-unit buildings exist as single-family residences predominate. Denser development does not necessarily mean structures of 4 stories or greater, it does mean properties that may be closer and utilize a greater share of the lot . . . . not unlike West Clay.
