Great observations. I couldn’t agree more. Indianapolis definitely needs to increase the number of residents living downtown and in the near downtown neighborhoods. Green space – yes. Also, the arts center would be great, if located in mile square.
Also worth noting is that New York (Manhattan) doesn’t have freeways running through it. Indianapolis would be much, much better if the downtown loop was replaced. A surface boulevard would create a beautiful, and vibrant environment. Chicago has a network of beautiful, park-like boulevards that Indianapolis could learn a lot from.
Yet INDOT is content to double-down on the mistake of the reconstruction of the North Loop by doing the same to the South Loop … then, perhaps, looking at what they should have done differently.
Great article! I too took a trip to NYC this summer to visit my son during an internship. While I had the same experiences with the smell of pot everywhere as well as some overflowing trash cans my experience was in general a good one.
What’s interesting to me is that I have spent waayyy to much time thinking about the image of our city to visitors during my commutes. The Interstate system around here is in shambles and under construction everywhere it seems (I live south). I think about how the city must look like a war zone to visitors coming in from the airport with roads in poor repair, weeds that are 2 ft. tall and buildings that look like they need condemned. Only 2 years ago they completely closed sections of 465, 65 & 70 to do what amounted to temporary patchwork. My hope is that all this construction will be over sooner rather than later and routine maintenance to public spaces will improve.
