Dear All,
I know that many of you were not able to make it to the Indy Moves Open House at the Chapel Hill 7th and 8th Grade Center last Wednesday. With busy schedules and other obligations it is sometimes difficult to make it to these meetings. This was just the first of a series of the public open houses that are being held around the City. While the different ones are being held with the various Councillors of an area, each meeting will have the same format and maps and you are welcome to attend the one that works best for you. This is a great opportunity to view maps that are showing some of the projects that are mapped out for the future, but more importantly an opportunity for you to mark on the various maps and leave your comments about things you would like to see in the way of transportation (roads, sidewalks, trails, bike paths, etc.) considered for future projects and what is important to you.
Below is the press release with more information including locations and times of future meetings. Attached is also information about these Public Open Houses and a map that shows the various locations of these future meetings. The two that are closest to our district are the one this coming Tuesday, Feb. 6th, at the Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center located at 2990 W. 71st Street and the one on Wednesday, Feb. 14th at Riverside Park, but you may attend any as the maps and information are county wide.
I hope that some of you are able to attend one of these future meetings. If you are not, you may still participate with your ideas by going to: Indymoves.org. Help let the City know what is important to you!
Sincerely,
Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 30, 2018
CITY TO HOST A SERIES OF INDY MOVES TRANSPORTATION PLAN PUBLIC OPEN HOUSES
Learn more about Indy Moves, a citywide effort to tie together Indianapolis’ many transportation plans and projects.
INDIANAPOLIS – The Department of Metropolitan Development, in partnership with the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Department of Public Works, will host a series of public open houses from January 31 – March 8 on Indy Moves, a transportation integration plan that will tie together Indianapolis’ many transportation-focused efforts and establish a single action plan to keep the city moving for years to come. The purpose of hosting the public events is to gather feedback from residents on planned transportation projects, like bike lane and trail improvements, and hear ideas for future projects.
As Indianapolis grows, thoughtful planning for all modes of transportation becomes increasingly essential. The upcoming community events will offer more information on the City’s existing transportation plans, highlight how people and goods move throughout the city today, and ask for feedback on the projects and issues that matter most to residents about transportation in their communities. Through this effort to integrate plans, Indianapolis residents, commuters and visitors will have access to more transportation choices, and a safer, more efficient commute.
Below are two ways to get involved:
- The following open houses will occur between 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Residents are encouraged to attend the open house closest to their neighborhood, as each meeting will solicit feedback specific to transportation planning in the Council Districts in which they are held. A full map of Council Districts is included with this release.
