Good Luck Taylor. But until people feel safe downtown it will be a longshot. I was recently at a large downtown hotel for a wedding. Having been forced to park in the old mall parking basement I had a very uncomfortable encounter with a vagrant, intoxicated individual with no shoes and being very aggressive. Mayor Joe needs to wake up and get serious about downtown safety.
Good job, Taylor. Well written. I did read that study. Keep pushing!
My wife and I are big supporters of Downtown Indy, but disappointed in your article because, in all due respect, leaving out the incredible impact of the Convention Center on Downtown doesn’t make sense. We have been living Downtown for 13 years
and witnessed hundreds of happy visitors here from out of town on Saturday and other nights enjoying themselves. We have never had an incident walking downtown at night. Instead of mentioning only a single incident in a garage, how about giving the story of how downtown incidents have decreased and when they do occur they do so extremely late at night and early mornings; also that the majority of homicides in the City do not occur downtown.
Why have you not mentioned the marked increase in the downtown population and the many new
apartment buildings that continue to be built?
I hope you take a more holistic approach the next time you write, including all of the positives about Downtown as well as those things that need improvement.
I respect people who don’t live downtown, but if they are not availing themselves of the nationally regarded Eiteljorg Museum, the Indianapolis Symphony, the IRT, the Ballet, the Kurt Vonnegut Museum, the District Theatre, the Indiana State Museum, the NCAA Hall of Champions, the highly regarded professional sports stadiums, etc. they are missing some wonderful experiences and plenty of good restaurants to go with them.
Taylor, great article! The work Downtown Indy Ind is doing is great and we have to start somewhere.
Our work will be made so much easier when the city stops all the construction road work that makes just getting downtown with many closed one-way streets and then finding a parking spot so frustrating. I’m all for free parking somewhere downtown – Circle Center mall perhaps?!
And David O – great comment about all of the unique happenings downtown – I think many people forget how great it is to come in for concerts, fairs, sports, theater and the arts! ITS ALL HERE DOWNTOWN.
