Burying I-70 below grade between the White River and the south split (as had been done in other places) could be transformational to the area.

Alexander needs to get out of the Old Southside more. He’s just wrong about “no hotels in the NW quadrant” around IUI/PUI and 16Tech.
There’s a Hampton Inn/Homewood Suites on West St., literally across from IU McKinney Law and IU Luddy School of Informatics. Across the Canal, another block east, are the Residence Inn and Candlewood Suites.
There’s a Sleep Inn at 16th and Indiana within walking distance of 16Tech. Across the 10th St. Bridge from the university/hospital campus there’s a Candlewood Suites on White River Parkway.
*Residence Inn and Courtyard, not Candlewood.
You must have never experienced trying to get a hotel room in downtown Indy during a sporting event or concert. When you have to stay in Whitestown or Fishers the demand is far exceeding the supply which is basic economics 101.
Downtown needs the following, in my opinion:
1) Large performing arts Center;
2) An open music strip, perhaps along Mass Av….similar or duplicative of Nashville;
3) A commitment to make Downtown, and the rest of Marion County, SAFE not just from violence or its threat but from folks being accosted either by the homeless or punks;
4) an educational environment that frees the poorest among us from the clutches of the “education establishment”
Your lack of awareness of what’s going on downtown is striking. Simon’s are already building a new complex with a theatre.
Maybe what Indianapolis needs is more freedom from small minded and jealous legislators.
One of the better things that could improve mobility in the expanded 2+ mile radius for locals and in particular, visitors, …a partially subsidized, dedicated small fleet of shuttle busses (16 seats) . Ideally, they would cross-cross monument circle (needed foot traffic) routed in each direction, ending at the places like the Children’s Museum, the Zoo, Mass Ave, Fountain Sq, running east-west on Washington street etc. with stops at selected hotels along the way. Minimal Fares ($5) would be good for 12 hours by credit card. Kiosks could be set up inside selected locations like hotels. Since Indy will never see local commuter rail, this would facilitate, in part, that void. The shuttles would run 7 days a week with varying hours depending on the route.
I 100% support this vision. ….”Imagine the Olympic Village in Munich or in Montreal or any other city. That’s my goal, to make the Old Southside the Olympic Village of the Midwest.”
