The state capital has a beautiful riverway with a diverse wildlife base that is being lost. Citizens of Indianapolis travel to other parts of the state in order to enjoy the states rivers instead of being able to enjoy them right here in there own backyard. I would love to see more green space here in Indianapolis. There are many empty buildings in the city. Why should tax payers front the money for yet another building when Indianapolis needs more green space? Green space inside the city also means more tax revenue being generated by the city, a fact that has been proven time and time again by other cities going green.Heath Sayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317458218867077049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-41554530266053675212009-03-31T14:13:00.000-05:002009-03-31T14:13:00.000-05:00I'm so sick of hearing about this "canal park" nonsense. It's not a park, it's a vacant lot that should have a building on it. But it should be a private development that will generate tax revenue and urban activity, not an expansion of the monolithic government complex. Why would they waste waterfront real estate (such as it is in Indy) on a building that will only house paper instead of people? <BR/><BR/>The canal could be so much more than what it is today if not for similar development mistakes in the past. But, if there's one thing Indiana government is good at, it's repeating past mistakes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396326144115748778noreply@blogger.com
