I am glad they are doing this but does anyone else feel like the city and their projects have just completely abandoned the south side?
Pleasant Run Trail renovation is part of the plan. Granted, there is little farther south. However, implementation in the area south of downtown faces greater challenges regarding land/right-of-way assembly and, correspondingly, cost. Trail implementation per a road diet along arterials or collectors may be possible, but these do not present the most pleasant environment for commuter or recreational bikeways. Abandoned railway rights-of-way have been popular choices for trails nationwide; however, availability of such on the south side is limited.
To summarize: Outside of the Pleasant Run Trail renovation the city completely ignores the south .
Oh gezz that’s the harsh truth. And I’m a huge cyclist.
I live on the northeast side in an area with no public green space and almost no connectivity. I sympathize with those who advocate for more trails and greenways on the south side. It should not be an either or situation. Indianapolis does not spend enough on this critical infrastructure, period.
