Green Line Draft Environmental Impact Statement Memo To: Whom it may concern From: Jen Higginbotham, Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization Date: August 12, 2020 Re: Green Line Rapid Transit Study DEIS: Status The Green Line is a proposed a rapid transit solution for the northeast corridor of Central Indiana, from Downtown Indianapolis to Noblesville, primarily using the Nickel Plate Railroad corridor. In 2014, the Indiana General Assembly passed enabling legislation that would allow the use of County Option Income Taxes for transit maintenance and improvement in counties and townships who opted in. The enabling legislation also prohibited the use of these transit taxes on rail technology. In 2015, during the environmental study phase of the Green Line, feasibility issues including route, vehicle technology, and financial sustainability were identified. With technology and source of funding in question, the Federal Transit Administration encouraged the MPO to put the remainder of the environmental study on hold until more specifics on the future of the Green Line could be determined. As a result, this project has not completed FTAs legal sufficiency review. At a joint meeting on July 31, 2017 the City of Fishers, City of Noblesville, and Hamilton County Commissioners voted to convert the Nickel Plate line into a recreational trail from 96th Street in Fishers to Pleasant Street in Noblesville. With the rail corridor now unavailable for transit, and technology and funding questions remaining, the MPO has no timeline for resuming Green Line planning. Attached to this memo is the August 18, 2015 Draft Environmental Impact Statement, which has not been updated since that date, and a letter from FTA, dated March 11, 2016. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call me at 317.327.7587. 1 PRELIMINARY August 18, 2015 GREEN RAPID TRANSIT LINE MARION AND HAMILTON COUNTIES, INDIANA DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT & SECTION 4(f) EVALUATION PREPARED PURSUANT TO: National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 USC § 4321, et.seq.); Federal Transit Administration implementing regulations (23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 771; Federal Transit Laws (49 USC § 5301(e); 49 USC § 303 (formerly Department of Transportation Act of 1966, § 4(f); implementing regulations (23 CFR 774); National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, § 106 (16 USC § 470f); Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands); Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management); Executive Order 12898 (Environmental Justice); Clean Air Act as amended (42 USC §7401 et seq, and 40 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93); the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USC §1531-1544); the Clean Water Act (33 USC §1251-1387); the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (42 USC §4601); Title VI of the1964 Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C §§ 2000d - 2000d-7); and the American with Disabilities Act (42 USC §126).

  • One Hundred Fifty Years in Broad Ripple
    ONE HUNDRED FIFTY YEARS IN BROAD RIPPLE CELEBRATING METHODISM’S OUTPOST FOR PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN BROAD RIPPLE 1852-2002 Compiled, written, and edited by Donald E. Mattson, 150th Anniversary Celebration Committee Broad Ripple United Methodist Church PREFACE Our introduction to Broad Ripple remains etched in my memories. A serendipitous event brought us into this fellowship. Thirty-three years ago on the Sunday following Labor Day, Carol and I went “church shopping.” We had just moved to a home in Butler-Tarkington that week. While shopping at Kroger’s, Carol saw a Methodist church and suggested we visit it. I recall sitting near the front on the right side. After the organist finished playing the prelude, there was silence. Then, Jim Rodeheffer stood in a row behind us and began singing, Come Christians, Join to Sing! Other choir members joined with him and moved to the choir loft. Dr. Floyd Cook, the minister, sat at the other end of our pew and took his place. We both enjoyed our experience that morning and never visited another church. Carol joined the choir and we found in the choir an extended family embracing first us and then Erick and Erin. In December 2001, Laura Eller, the Celebration Committee Chair, asked me to compile the congregation’s history. I knew I faced challenges. Previous histories revealed substantial gaps. I began my research with a dusty box of records in the stage storeroom plus others I found in the attic. Further research required visits to the library at Christian Theological Seminary, the microfilm room at the Central Library, the Indiana Historical Society, the Indiana State Library, and the Methodist Archives at DePauw University.

  • Indiana Central and All That Jazz
    /Indiana Central and all that jazz Indiana Central’s first jazz ensemble was comprised of J. Lynn Arbogast on the piano; Edwin McCune on clarinet; Donald Klinger on violin; Paul Ar- bogast on banjo; and Everett Hoffman on drums. This 1924 photograph was forwarded to the Alumni News by Lynn W. Turner ’27, who wrote, “I think the title we have given it-Indiana Central’s First Jazz Ensemble - is legitimate, even though I doubt whether this group ever gave a public performance. It was the day when George Gershwin and Paul Whiteman were first making jazz respectable, and we decided at Central that it wasn’t a sin to indulge in it occasionally, so you have at least three preacher’s sons in this picture.” 0 McMemorabilia ?
