Take any IndyGo funding off the board. They knew exactly what they were doing when they agreed to raise additional funds. I received an email from the Indianapolis Dept. of metropolitan Development today, Feb 12th. It has an outline for development, “Transit Oriented Development”, in areas around the Red and Purple Line. The deadline to respond is February 19th. This is the same tactic the City of Indianapolis and IndyGo used for the Red Line. Lots of time to digest and reply!! The previous plan expired at the end of 2020. Why? What was supposed to be accomplished in that time frame, did the miss some kind of goal? Current and past IndyGo management hasn’t a clue, and until someone comes up with common sense ideas and planning, all bets are off on additional funding. The Red was loosing from the start, even from the pandemic, highest ridership was when it was free.
They blew millions on Chinese busses that were faulty from the start and knew it, and now will switch to hybred vehicles for new purchases, hopefully American built and designed. The public vote, stop bringing that up. The public was not fully aware of what they were voting on. The Red drew protests from all sections of the city, but nothing changed and IndyGo did not listen then either.
Thank you Indianapolis business, philanthropic, and educational leaders for speaking up for home rule. The legislature has more than enough challenges to meet without micro-managing local police, housing, and transit issues.
The proposed removal of home rule would also make it much more difficult for local citizens to gain relief from distant legislators who are unknown, unavailable, lacking in knowledge, and unresponsive to local needs.
The same state legislators who say the government closest to the people is the best and who complain about Washington regulation are now removing local control with STATE interference. Indiana has tried state takeover of schools and did a worse job than the folks who dealt with the schools on a daily basis. But that isn’t really surprising. Micro-management by those far removed from the front-lines has a long history of inefficiency and failure. That’s especially misplaced when the state blames the city for problems sweeping the nation.
The state has long taken more from Indianapolis residents than it has given in tax revenues. Please don’t kill the golden goose providing the rest of Indiana so many eggs.
