Who cares where the prosecutor’s office is? Hogsett needs to figure out how people are going to get there. Run a high frequency shuttle from the transit center.
Is it really a justice “center” if people can’t get to it?
Hey Joe… Maybe you should have thought about all of these leases before you had all of those photo-ops in front of the proposed Justice Center. Well, at least those pictures reminded your constituents that you were alive.
Former prosecutor Terry Curry (RIP) signed the current long term lease in 2017 with full knowledge of the plan for a new justice complex, planning for which began under the administration of Mayor Greg Ballard. This is nothing but a power play by the Prosecutor. Look at the site – there will be plenty of parking. And, there’s no mention by Mears about what it costs for his employees to park downtown, which is neither free or cheap. And, what about the costs and lost efficiencies of deputy prosecutors and support staff shuttling back and forth? There’s a reason the Prosecutor’s Office is located near the courthouse.
It “doesn’t make sense” for the taxpayers though does it Mr Mayor?
Now they have to rent space? You mean the Justice Center is private ? Also, won’t this leave a lot of empty downtown space where people worked, further hurting retail and restaurant business?
The new jail and courthouse were definitely needed. However, the lawyers appearing in court or visiting clients in custody at the new jail do not have to be located on the justice campus. In fact, lawyers would prefer to be located downtown for the many reasons including: business networking, restaurants, bars and events. Moving hundreds of lawyers and the support/admin staff out of downtown (on top of the court and jail staff already leaving) is going to hurt downtown businesses.
City and County agencies pay rent in the City-County Building to the Marion County Building Authority as well. That’s how it’s structured.
So much for IndyGo getting folks to the justice center. I wonder how many bus transfers that will take ?
Zero, one or two — as understood by those [of us] who actually use transit. If one can walk to Routes 26 or 55, no transfer is needed. All other Routes except Toute 87 require one transfer, either at the downtown transit center or where the boarding route first crosses Route 26 or 55. Those who first board Route 87 must transfer to an east-west route then again transfer to Route 26 (Keystone) or Route 55 (English).
Wait…Joe is still mayor? I thought he checked out prior to his violent riots that destroyed our downtown.
taxpayers should be mindful of Hogsett wasting city resources by vacating leased premises early and then adding operating costs funded by taxpayers on these offices. there are better ways to achieve fiscal responsibility and put these offices in locations where they can be effective.
Because the Mayor takes a swarn oath to protect the people (AKA and Justice for All), shouldn’t our top defender have HIS office in the new Justice Center?
How soon all of the haters forget that former Mayor Ballard started this process and wanted to put the new center on the site of the former GM Stamping Plant.
