South Downtown Indianapolis Connectivity Plan Debuts!

We’re excited to announce the debut of the South Downtown Connectivity Vision Plan for the City of Indianapolis! Following a year-long effort working with the City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development (DMD), HR&A Advisors, GANGGANG and many Downtown stakeholders and residents, the plan shares the future of Downtown’s public realm.

South Downtown Indianapolis’s Connectivity Vision Plan is a comprehensive vision for Downtown Indianapolis’s public realm. The plan introduces six values and four strategies to guide future planning, design, and development throughout Downtown.

Project recommendations prioritize investments in streetscape improvements, district identity, gateways, and public space activation. The engagement process for the plan honored past planning work and prioritized the representation of current voices. The process was a bold, multi-pronged approach that included large, eye-catching billboards, a virtual mood board, and a social media campaign to collect ideas. The plan includes a road map to implementation for all recommended projects. We are excited to get started this year on testing the temporary closure and activation of Monument Circle and the redesign of Georgia Street.

Congratulations to all our partners, stakeholders, and residents, on an exciting vision for the future of Indianapolis!
