At what point does the mayor begin to concentrate on building roads to accommodate the traffic and adding sidewalks to the west side of Westfield? I am all for developing the downtown area, but the lack of planning to create safe travel, for cars, bikes and pedestrians is seriously lacking. I understand that he did not want to do the eminent domain that Carmel did or the build the roads and construction will come scenario that get the funding and was the standard for Mayor Brainard, but as the fastest growing city in Indiana, the lack of planning, funding and forethought has now become dangerous.
It is time to worry less about becoming a golf cart community on the east side of Westfield and get the funding and planning completed to make our community safe and with a great sense of urgency!
Hope I am wrong but the amount of development East of 31, even with thousands of parking spaces, sure sounds like a traffic nightmare waiting to happen.
Little Westfield is playing catch up and hopefully this is one of many steps forward.
This is a good development for Westfield. It’s concerning to see the council being skeptical. Westfield is riding its growth wave right now. It has only a limited time to leverage that to make major public investments before the city reaches maturity and it becomes much more difficult to do so. Westfield especially needs to build up its downtown, given Noblesville’s historic center and the big and attractional environments Carmel and Fishers have built in their downtowns.
These handouts should stop in areas that don’t need incentives for a mixed unit development. But mayors do receive big donations from the developers, lawyers, bond sellers, and related contractors.
Agree, however keep in mind right now we are in a pretty tough development environment.
Deals are not getting done with any regularity with where the 10 Year is hanging out. If we can get that down in the 3s, I think the equation shifts. That feels like a big if as yields were sticky even when rates were coming down.
Yes, they should. You are correct on all counts. Follow the money.
Build, rinse and repeat. Old Town has one model and it suffers from a severe lack of creativity. The mayor says this will “explode” the downtown area. Maybe or maybe not since these types of developments are becomming a dime a dozen in the greater metro area. If you drive to one and you have no idea if your in Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, or Fishers.
