5 thoughts on “Work on five-story downtown mural for Indy cycling legend to start next month

  1. This is a silly place for a new mural of that size. The lot adjacent to the mural is owned by a development company. When it gets developed, the only way to see the mural will be to look straight up from an alley. I’d be surprised if we get to enjoy this mural for 3 years.

  2. Ironically, we named the original newly developed Velodrome, at Lake Sullivan Park (originally part of Riverside Park) after Major Taylor around 1980. The bicycle race track kept that name for years until someone had the ‘brilliant’ idea (not) to rename it. The proposed mural may be new, but honoring Major Taylor started over 40 years ago!

    1. The velodrome is still named for Major Taylor. The complex is known as the Indy Cycloplex (it includes other features beyond the velodrome), but the velodrome itself is still named for Major Taylor.

    2. Thanks Tim! Did not realize that. It would have been a very visible place for a big Mural close to I-65!

  3. ‘Good to see a man of genuine accomplishment against odds few of us can imagine remembered in this manner.

    Robert H. has a point; I hope the mural isn’t soon obscured by a new building.

    Thanks for the clarification on naming, Tim J.
