West Street is a huge problem. It’s great that we have state university officials now talking about fixing it.
West St has been there since before IUPUI was founded, widened and rebuilt several times.
It’s really just a challenge, more than a problem.
West is too important and carries too much traffic to downsize and restrict. The only hope for pedestrians is overhead crossings. The Cultural Trial could have, but didn’t have the guts!
West Street might be a problem, but University officials should press the City and the Marion County Prosecutor to get the mentally ill off the streets and to prosecute and deter crime!!
Build all the pedestrian walkways, underpasses, overpasses, or other bridging structures you want to connect the campus with downtown. Please just don’t strangle vehicular traffic.
IndyGo or its predecessor ran a free shuttle from the IUPUI campus to downtown that allowed me to often go from the former Indiana State Board of Health building (long replaced by the Eskenazi Garage) to downtown eateries for lunch. Perhaps a similar shuttle should be looked at again.
No mention of the development of the humanities and social sciences on the “new” campuses. IUPUI had strong programs.
