As part of the process to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Indy Connect Green line, the public is invited to learn more and provide feedback on Dec. 5 at 6 p.m. at the Julia Carson Center, 300 E. Fall Creek Parkway. At the public scoping meeting, planners will present the latest plans and then take questions.
The 23-mile Green Line runs from downtown Indianapolis to Noblesville using a variety of on-street rail or busway options in downtown Indianapolis to the existing rail bed that runs northeast to Noblesville. On-street routes considered involve either Fort Wayne Avenue or Massachusetts Avenue. Preliminary recommendations call for up to 17 stops, with five in Hamilton County and the remaining stops between 82nd Street and downtown Indianapolis. Bus rapid transit and light rail are being considered for use in this corridor.
To take an IndyGo bus to the open house, visit Indygo.net to plan your trip or call (317) 635-3344. Bilingual support and sign language interpretation are available upon request by calling (317) 327-5136.
When fully implemented, the Indy Connect plan will add five rapid transit lines, double the current local bus service, and add express bus routes and community circulators. It would complement IndyGo’s Downtown Transit Center, a project that will serve as a central downtown hub for destinations, boardings and transfers.
