  1. So many infill opportunities on this block and the adjacent block. With the right redesign of some terrain features, getting rid of the Maryland St. Spur and “re-blocking” the grid streets of New Jersey, East and Maryland, there’s 2 or 3 city blocks that were horribly used for what else…parking lots, now a perfect spot for a tower or 2!

    1. We definitely need to develop our skyline.
      I wish the city would encourage and work with the Simons to ddveop on
      big tower instead of two high rises. It greatly enhance our downtown skyline.

  2. The rail here has long been a barrier dividing the growth at Mass Ave from the growth at Fletcher place and Fountain Square. It needs to go or be transitioned into a greenway. Redevelopment will flourish once the rail is removed.

    1. Huh? There’s a whole lot of downtown between Mass Ave and Fletcher Place. RR tracks don’t divide the two. And the tracks didn’t stop Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Anthem HQ, and CityWay from being built right alongside.

    2. The rail line is one of downtown’s best assets. If one day the State actually granted Indianapolis home rule status, a rail line could be constructed from the airport to Union Station/the Convention Center. But that idea would also require local visionaries.

    3. The problem with the rail line is that CSX doesn’t take care of it and so it’s an eyesore. Look at the bridge over the Washington St/College Ave intersection. It is in shamefully poor condition. And as for commuter rail the GOP supermajority in the General Assembly has shown just how unvisionary they are in banning Indianapolis from developing a light rail system.

  3. Seems to me that there is a whole lot of unused and underutilized land around the current IUHealth Methodist Hospital that could play host to IUHealth helicopter operations. (And a whole lot more once the current Methodist closes when the new one opens in a couple of years.)
