A single concerned citizen helped start a movement to make a major trail crossing in Indianapolis safer. A group of local advocates successfully dieted four high speed lanes down to two at the 16th street and Monon crossing. The local government failed them, so the community made it happen.

Data centers pose health risks, place a big strain on the local water supply and electrical bills, and don’t make up for it with jobs or tax revenue. Voice your concern by attending the public hearing, or emailing planneroncall@indy.gov.

Metrobloks wants to build a data center close to home. The developer wants nearly 14 acres of land to build at 2505 N. Sherman Drive. Their plans include a 70-foot tall building, nearly twice the height allowed by local zoning standards (38 feet).

Just want to emphasize that the funding gap is‼️PER YEAR‼️ and every day that we fail to act on that gap, it increases - because the roads degrade further AND become more expensive to repair. We could put the entire city budget towards this shortfall for a decade and we would still not escape.

Indianapolis is in a hole of infrastructure debt. Many of our roads are a financial liability instead of a useful resource for our city's economy. Cars damage roads too quickly. The spare lanes need to be turned over to other mobility solutions (Bike, bus, scooter, etc) #urbanism #strongtowns

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)
