  • GREENING the Crossroads
    GREENING the crossroads A GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE VISION FOR CENTRAL INDIANA FOREWORD Central Indiana matters. It is where we work, raise our families, share our faith and welcome visitors from around the globe for world-class conventions and sporting events. It is also an area of rich biodiversity, home to freshwater mussels, neotropical migratory birds, and vibrant forests. This is our chance to work together to raise awareness about our natural assets, to protect natural areas, to improve our air and water quality, and to enhance our quality of life. We have an opportunity to connect people to nature in their own communities. Now is the time.

  • Lights out Indy: Continuing to Move Forward by Austin Broadwater, Lights out Indy Chair
    AUDUBON LIFELINES SEPT/OCT 2019 A PUBLICATION OF AMOS BUTLER AUDUBON SOCIETY A CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY Issue #1 Amy Hodson • Have an idea for a story? Send an email to [email protected] Lights Out Indy: Continuing to Move Forward By Austin Broadwater, Lights Out Indy Chair all migration is just around the corner. Over the next few months, countless birds will be making their nocturnal voyages Facross the country, continent, and even further, to their winter homes. With so many obstacles along the way, our duty as nature lovers is to make that path the least treacherous as possible. ABAS is doing its best to make that a reality. The Lights Out Indy initiative is starting to gain more traction since it started doing bi-annual surveys. With our team of seven volunteers, we were able to collect 62 birds among 36 species in the metropolitan area during this past spring. This included such favorites as the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Scarlet Tanagers, Indigo Buntings, a Baltimore Oriole, Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and various warblers, thrushes and sparrows. Even a Virginia Rail, Sora, Sharp-shinned Hawk, and several American Woodcocks were sampled. The concrete jungles scattered across the United States result in countless bird fatalities every year. Fortunately, eight of the recovered birds were alive when they were found. They were transported to rehab centers, and hopefully recovered from their collisions. The other specimens were transported to the Eagle Creek Park Ornithology Center for future education and research. Two collection routes were traveled 17 times from April 1 through May 31 with volunteers focusing their attention on the major glass-paneled buildings of downtown Indianapolis.

Working together with the client team and the public, the vision plan identified twenty-seven opportunity sites for preservation, activation, enhancements, or protection. The sites identified on the map at right include existing catalysts, places that exist but could be enhanced, and opportunities for future catalysts. All of these are places along the river where a variety of experiences can be created or expanded. This long list of destinations or opportunity sites is organized by the five discovery themes. Certain locations showed clear overlap among multiple themes and enabled the plan to filter through the long list to identify seven final sites to explore as plan ‘focus areas’ or ‘anchors’.

It is acknowledged that this is a long-term strategy, and as such this T chapter outlines key steps in the ongoing process. This section is divided into three parts: 1. System Build Out – This section provides an overview of the prioritization of the various segments’ ultimate build-out. It describes a methodology for how the various segments were divided into short, medium and long-term design, engineering and construction priorities. There is a recognition that circumstances may arise that would modify this prioritization (such as land availability or funding opportunities), but this should be used as a general guide in the ongoing growth of the greenway system. 2. Policy & Administrative Recommendations – This section outlines several plan recommen- dations not specifi cally related to design and construction activities. These include such items as administrative function, maintenance and coordination of city regulatory tools. 3. Action Plan – This section summarizes the overall plan recommendations and highlights the key implementing agencies, partners, funding sources, action type, timeline and supporting plan goals Implementation of any project as complex as the Indy Greenways requires involvement from dozens of public, private and other support organizations.

  • Indianapolis Greenways System Has a Distinct Character That Has Evolved Over the Years As the System Has Developed
    Fall Creek Greenway 168 Indy Greenways Master Plan chapter four DESIGN STANDARDS DESIGN STANDARDS 169 chapter four DESIGN STANDARDS inside this chapter: INTRODUCTION . 171 REGULATORY STANDARDS . 175 APPLICATION STANDARDS. .177 FACILITY STANDARDS . .191 SIGNAGE STANDARDS . .211 SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES . .229 BLUEWAY STANDARDS . 233 Monon Trail at Fall Creek. Monon Trail CHAPTERdesign standards 4 he Indianapolis Greenways system has a distinct character that has evolved over the years as the system has developed. The use of federal funding has ensured a level of consistency T in construction methods and techniques, and the city has held true to the original character of the trails developed during the construction of its earliest segments. With those precedents in mind, it is important that the expansion of the system build upon and refl ect the character established by the early development of the system. This becomes even more critical as the city looks for alternative funding sources, partnerships, and new means for implementing portions of the system. By having a set of design guidelines in place, the city ensures that there will be a level of consistency across the system. INTRODUCTION The purpose of establishing design standards include: ■ Ensuring consistency across the system---consistency in character, consistency in construction, and consistency in the application of facilities along the greenways. ■ Providing design direction that enables alternative development of the system (for example, private development of the system in growing areas of the city). ■ Ensuring that the greenways meet the recreation, transportation, and environmental stewardship goals of the plan. ■ Establishing regulatory guidelines that ensure that the greenways meet the safety requirements for all users.
