May 4, 2013
Bruce Race / Special to IBJOur state capitol building is surrounded by utilitarian streets and inappropriate development.

Bruce Race / Special to IBJIndy Rezone won't change the city's timid approach to planning.
MoreRACE: It's time to rediscover Kessler's park and boulevard system
March 2, 2013
Bruce Race / Special to IBJGeorge Kessler’s 1908 vision was the foundation for Indianapolis’ neighborhood building and metropolitan-park
planning. The nearly 3,500-acre Kessler legacy is on the National Register of Historic Places.
MoreRACE: Our streetcar legacy is high-value neighborhoods
February 2, 2013
Bruce Race / Special to IBJAs late as 1950, Indianapolis’ city limits were served by a system of streetcars and buses that resulted in compact
and socially active neighborhoods.
MoreRACE: Here's how we can design our way to prosperity by 2040
January 5, 2013
Bruce Race / Special to IBJIf we do not think about whom we are designing the Indianapolis region for, we will, by default, turn design decisions over
to speculators and partisans.
MoreRACE: We're turning our back on the city's design DNA
December 1, 2012
Bruce Race / Special to IBJSome large projects are in the works for Massachusetts and Indiana avenues. These projects are important. They can reconnect
the fabric of downtown neighborhoods and commercial areas while adding economic and cultural vitality.
MoreRACE: Making downtown walkable shouldn't be afterthought
November 3, 2012
Bruce Race / Special to IBJFor me, the coolest cities have downtown streets that are economically vibrant, social, safe and comfortable. By any measure,
we fall short.
MoreRACE: Is CityWay a mixed-use project or urban neighborhood?
September 29, 2012
Bruce Race / Special to IBJCityWay’s design does a lot of things well. Its site plan is woven into the Indy grid, providing active street edges.

RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.
Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?
Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.
We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)
True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
