“All the data justifies the Red Line as the best transportation solution in the right corridor to make the rest of our transit system more convenient and efficient.”
There is no justification for that bald assertion. The Red Line clearly eliminates more transportation capacity than it adds. Furthermore, the added bus rides cost taxpayers more than cab rides, and the IndyGo expansion causes more CO2 emissions than the cars it arguably displaces.
Voters weren’t given any of these facts before the referendum. Deceptive propaganda from IndyGo, Mr. Fisher, and others, together with deplorably uncurious local reporters, is the reason why the referendum passed.
The IndyGo expansion makes Indianapolis residents poorer, and Mr. Fisher bears a large share of the responsibility for that poverty.
“ the Red Line will serve more than 100,000 residents and one of every four Marion County jobs within a five-minute walk of a stop. The Red Line also reaches 90% of the region’s college students, linking major employment centers, cultural districts and neighborhoods ripe for walkable development.”
Blah,blah,blah… A big chunk of the Red Line runs through the residential areas of Broad Ripple, SoBro, Meridian Jessler, etc. There are no major employment centers in these areas and walkable development was already occurring in these areas for decades with no need for a Red Line. All the Red Line has succeeded in doing so far in these areas is hurt small businesses and make regular commuter traffic a royal pain.
Nice puff piece that gives zero data and glosses over the fact that this is already proving to be a huge waste of money for something that will be highly underutilized.
Inclusive growth…..through gentrification? Mark my words.
