Wow, what a bargain. Meanwhile, the Simons pour millions to acquire J.C Penny and other retailers.
Hopefully the half baked design of the plaza and elements of the Banker Life Fieldhouse entrance reconfiguration are refreshed before construction begins.
What a waste
Wow! What an absolutely horrible idea. The plaza looks terrible. I’m all for nice civic amenities, but… First we lose all that parking, essentially paying over $30mm for land ($29.9mm garage + $1.2mm demo). And all for a piece of crud like this U-G-L-Y plaza! It makes me sick to my stomach. Are there any real leaders in this town? Stand up and say it: this cannot stand! How many much better amenities could we fill this town with using $30mm-plus. Can this even be real? Please tell me this story is incorrect, fake news, P-L-E-A-S-E! To anyone who can support this, I have a naked king I’d like to show you so you can praise his wonderful outfit. You have got to be kidding!
wow ….. let’s make it harder & more inconvenient to park for a Fieldhouse event. 30mil? Before a dime is spent to improve the “park”?
wow …. how about trying to recapture the safety & security of downtown Indy? I guess this park will house the increasing homeless population? How about help for the surrounding businesses that have suffered thru recent events? The problem? “Governmental systemic stupidity”
These are OUR TAX DOLLARS! NOT YOUR PIGGY BANK.
wow….opens your eyes
As a downtown resident, I’m looking forward to outdoor skating to replace the PanAm rink.
Outdoor skating rinks are rarely viable economically. Equipment cost to maintain and operate are very cost prohibitive. You think public pools create a sucking sound to a budget operate an outdoor rink. It is either to cold, snowy, raining or warm the majority of the time and probably can’t achieve 15% utilization.
Used to park there when I worked down town. It was very convenient. Seems like the demolition will create a real problem for many people. Parking is at the top of my list for reasons to avoid downtown Indianapolis whenever possible.
There isn’t a parking problem in Downtown. In fact, the City’s own commissioned study shows that we are wasting money by having so much parking in the form of lost property tax revenues. It’s insanely easy to park anywhere in Downtown, or take IndyGo, and be at your destination in 5-10 minutes walk.
A.T.,asking a resident of Indy to walk a few blocks? How dare you!
Good. Tear down more parking garages and replace them with housing.
