I love the zoo, but I hope they consider a parking garage instead of flat surface parking. A smaller footprint would allow for more green space. If parking is across the street, perhaps a shuttle – electric of course!
Flat surface parking would be the less expensive route but a parking garage would be best with solar panels on the roof to charge the electric shuttle buses.
A little confusing since it looks like some numbers are mixed up in the article, but what I’m reading is Ambrose bought the entire mix of parcels for $3 million. They donated some to the Zoo (tax write off), but the Zoo also paid $3 million for 16.5 additional acres, meaning Ambrose is sitting at net zero and still retains 75 acres that they are selling separately? Seems like the RACER trust got the shaft.
I think the second lot was an additional amount of money not disclosed in the article? But yes, it is a bit confusing…
I’m very happy for the zoo. Indy is so lucky to have such a great asset and world class amenity such as this. It’s exciting that the zoo can now continue to expand, grow and improve on all of their hard work and success.
On the other hand, I have concerns as to the ultimate use for the rest of the property. This is such a great opportunity for Indianapolis and I’m hoping the typical hoosier negativity for anything not tried doesn’t prevail. It’s unfortunate that plans fell through for Ambrose.
I hope the parking lot plans include urban heat island effect mitigation (trees and solar panels over the lot would be great). This seems like it could be a good opportunity to really re-orient the zoo’s main entrance towards Washington Street and integrate it with future transit and development on the GM site. Admittedly, I’m a little bummed that all of those mature trees will be wiped out.
Please consider a gorilla exhibit.
I would not call our Zoo world class. With this purchase however, it can realistically strive to be. However, given younger generations seeming aversion to Zoo’s, we shall see what the future holds. I for one would like to see Gorillas and Chimpanzees.
And hippos!
