On a daily basis, CollegeAvenueIndy.org receives a significant amount of commentary regarding its Red Line petition updates. The following commentary is so extraordinary, we thought it worthy of reprint. The Red Line project belongs on Keystone Avenue, where it was first proposed (before it got moved to College Avenue). Keystone Avenue already has a median and parking restrictions. It also has: a Wal-Mart; a Meijer, a Target, 2 CVS stores, 2 Walgreen's stores, a Kroger, 2 Marsh stores, an Aldi, a Macy's, the Glendale Town Center, 2 health clinics... Eskenazi Health and I.U. Health; Keystone at the Crossing, Woodfield at the Crossing, a 454-unit apartment complex, and if the line proceeded onto 38th Street riders could go to events at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The often stated purposes of for the Red Line include access to employment and shopping. If these purposes are sincere, Keystone is the only logical north-south route. The currently proposed route, College Avenue, is a tree-lined, mostly-residential street that has no major employers, shopping venues or large apartment complexes. This is of course something that developers want to change. In fact, Transportation Oriented Development or "TOD" is the underlying reason the Red Line has been moved from Keystone to College Avenue. This is also the reason that developers seek to massively alter Indianapolis's zoning ordinances to allow oversized, mixed-use apartment buildings where they clearly don't belong (such as at the former AT&T site atKessler Blvd & College Ave. Except for rush hour, College Avenue buses now run almost empty. In spite of this, local residents could be burdened with the cost of a white elephant bus system which they cannot conveniently use. They will be further inconvenienced with a median down College Avenue causing traffic diversions onto side streets. They will endure parking restrictions that may result in permitted parking in front of their own houses. The College Avenue corridor will lose legacy businesses and jobs along due to construction and lack of parking. Ultimately, the character of historic neighborhoods like Meridian Kessler and Forrest Hills will be irreparably damaged so that a small handful of developers may benefit. What does Indianapolis expect to gain from the Red Line that could possibly justify the cost?
