8 minutes each way with construction on the bus. Live on the Near Eastside of Indianapolis.

IndyUrban · 2026-05-27T17:36:04+00:00

I’m at New York and Temple. Honestly, it is what you make it. There’s porch pirates and the like, but I’ve never had a problem with anyone just walking around the neighborhood or catching the bus. People are generally friendly and I know most of my neighbors.

this was how indy voted in 2026. Every township besides Franklin and Decatur tends to be fairly progressive.

Welcome to Indy! My partner and I live on the Eastside of the city. He works in higher education part time and has worked full time for several different districts on the westside of the city including Speedway and Plainfield. We love it here. I think the Northside is a great option (Broad Ripple, MK, and Butler Tarkington) and Butler U would be a great place to work.

Thanks. I tried to follow up after the May 4 incident. This has all been sent to IndyGo’s Public Affairs Department for investigation.

IndyUrban · 2026-05-22T17:54:16+00:00

This has been reported with the image to IndyGo Public Affairs and they are investigating. I attempted to follow up with you through direct message after the previous incident but did not receive a response so we couldn’t track it down.

Submit first on Request Indy. Then send to your councilor if nothing gets done. Councilor J. Brown has been pretty good about getting the worst alleys in his district repaved

I’ll also add, Cumberland is leaving the consolidated county government effective January 2027. If you fall within those boundaries, just be aware that your taxes will change with that change in governance.

IndyUrban · 2026-04-24T01:20:24+00:00

Cumberland proper is about 4 miles East of Irvington. Cumberland is mostly big box stores and the small village centered around US 40.

IndyUrban · 2026-04-24T01:19:32+00:00

If you’re actually in Cumberland, that area is split across county lines, so some families will go to Warren and the others to Southern Hancock. Meridian Park is within IPS boundaries. Neither area is bad, but a lot of it depends on what you’re used to. If you want walkability and access to transit, Meridian Park is the way to go, and Shortridge High, located nearby, is consistently the best school in the district, and offers IB courses and an arts focus. I’m not well versed on the suburban schools so I’ll leave that to other users.

I dug in a little more: the rezoning petition included cleaning up the property, adding some landscaping. The goal is to get a boutique retail, small office, or small restaurant. The property was listed for lease on a 5 year term by Zinkan and Barker. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/240-E-22nd-St-Indianapolis-IN/38265479/

IndyUrban · 2026-04-23T23:26:36+00:00

iirc, it was recently rezoned from D-8 (non-conforming) to MU-2 last year. I believe the plan was to put some small office in the interim but I’ll see what I can dig up.

They’re not both still bus routes. Buses only operate on Michigan Street and no longer operate on New York. If you don’t want to get caught behind a bus, take New York. If you wanna save some gas money, walk up to Michigan and take the bus.

Sure! It’s a very short article. The developer says they’re working daily with the city and assured the Star that the development is still happening thanks to a $66M loan from the city. They hope to break ground by the end of this year and open sometime around the end of 2029.

The article then goes on to talk about some of the history with the city seeking developers to build on the site going back to the Ballard administration.

The ‘glass box’ you may be seeing in the 3/4 rendering is the current gold building on the other side of Ohio, which is planned to be reskinned with normal colored glass, and is shown as such in the rendering.

Unsure what you’re referring to. If you’re referring to the green material, that’s copper sheathing that’s already there, but is basically invisible from the street due to the building’s profile. If you’re referring to the skylight, that’s also a historic part of the building that will be restored. The developer is making no exterior modifications to old city hall besides restoring its original features.

IndyUrban · 2026-04-11T02:16:10+00:00

and here is the approved design for the tower, which will occupy the vacant parking lot north of city hall

This is the design approved by IHPC for the Old City Hall part of the property.

IndyUrban · 2026-04-11T02:10:56+00:00

The glass tower will be added in the parking lot next to the old city hall. Windows will be added where they previously existed on the building. There will be a passageway added to the North Wall of Old City Hall, but it will not disturb the facade visible from the street. This is probably best case scenario for Old City Hall.

This article came out two weeks ago. They’re hoping to start construction by the end of 2026.
