MoreArchitects, planners brainstorm Indianapolis transit terminal design
February 23, 2013
Mason KingHere’s what we don’t know: what it will look like, what amenities users can expect, and how it will link to rapid-transit
lines still in the planning stages. At the moment, the 1.9-acre parcel is a city-owned parking lot, situated on the south
side of Washington Street between Delaware and Alabama streets. But architecture, urban planning and mass transit fans imagine
it as an empty canvas, with the potential to showcase a signature structure that triggers more development nearby.

MoreCommuter subsidies often go unnoticed
September 8, 2012
Mason KingIn a dark little corner of the tax code known as Section 132(f), the IRS lets employers provide tax-free benefits—typically,
payroll deductions and/or subsidies—to employees for commuting costs. That includes vans, buses, bikes, trains, and
even parking. And both parties can save, since they’re not getting dinged for their respective taxes on the amount of
the benefit.

I voted for him last time and it WAS the LAST time. He needed to to quit running around the world on useless trips, and giving our $$ away to sports teams. I'll vote for anyone but Ballard next time. BTW...we gave $40M to the Pacers and cannot even watch the games on TV.
For the people concerned about traffic, you should know that mixed-use projects (like the one being proposed), actually allows for and encourages more people to walk and bike, thereby mitigating additional automobile traffic. If we continue to design and build suburban-type projects in the City (i.e. automobile-oriented projects), we are not offering anything different from what the suburbs offer, which means we will continue to lose jobs/people to the suburbs. The reason Broad Ripple is somewhat successful today is that people want to live in a place that offers the convenience of being able to walk/bike to restaurants, retail, nightlife, the Monon, etc. Why would you not want to support a project that is complimentary to what already makes the area desirable? The real argument with this project should be its lack-luster design and layout, not the density.
It is unfortunate that there is a perception that celebrities validate an event. The Indy 500 stands on its own, especially for those coming in from out of town. It was always so disturbing to read the gushing descriptions of Ashley Judd threaded throughout the local coverage. Very happy that era is at an end.
Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
