  1. Those bitching I'm sure are the same that would complain at anything. What BRip really needs is a stronger police presence bc the black thugs are the ones starting to come in. I lived in Ripple for 6 years, LOVED IT! it needs more nice things like this. to those complaing....MOVE THEN! if you don't enjoy nightlife then why live there? go to the suburbs in fishers out in the country or something if you want a nice/quiet place. I just recently bought a house right downtown, LOVE IT! yes, it's a bit noisy in the city and some things you have to put up w/, but we moved there bc we love the city life! I don't go to association meetings complaining about noise and things, I want development.

  2. Grew up in Warfleigh, which is the neighborhood directly across College from the proposed development. I am against the proposed project for several reasons: 1) Traffic Flow -- College is already a mess, especially with the new lane guidance which makes the southbound left lane 'turn only' at Broad Ripple Ave. Not to mention the backups at 64th and College. If this is in fact a Whole Foods, I would expect a steady stream of cars pulling in and out, either off College or 64th Street which are both bad already. 2) Use of TIF funds. I though TIF funds were for under-developed areas, to help bolster property tax rolls for the city. I agree with Barth that this area will do just fine letting market forces dictate what is developed. 3) Specialty Grocer Overkill. There is already a Fresh Market a mile south and a Whole Foods 2 miles north. This store is not needed. Frankly I shocked that the Whole Foods site selection criteria supports a store right here 4) Hurts the Character of the Neighborhood. This type of development, along with the (hideous) parking garage down the street are out of character with the history and fabric of this area. Broad Ripple has succeeded because it was quirky and different. It would be a shame if the city gets involved and helps support ANOTHER project that aims to turn Broad Ripple into some kind of manufactured urban center.

  3. Yeah! Lets keep the character of Broad Ripple alive with a dilapidated gas station and parking lot.

  4. I think this project is perfect for Broad Ripple. I would like to live in Broad Ripple, but there are no decent apartments/rental units in the village. This type of residential development - done right - will attract the kind of residents who will support the restaurants and retail in Broad Ripple.

  5. The vocal minority at these types of events is always heard due to them simply being more vocal. Broad Ripple could use this type of development which will bring in a small specialty grocery and 80 apartments. These are two things the village area sorely needs and will only serve to augment existing amenities. If anything this development should contain additional one or two story retail/commercial space directly adjacent to the proposed parking garage. Broad Ripple should be welcoming a higher population density and more residents to fill their existing establishments.
