9 INDIANAPOLIS REGIONAL CENTER PLAN 2020 PLANNING DOWNTOWN�fS FUTURE TODAY PLANNING PROCESS tracks from Victory Field.  New housing focuses on environmental courtyards, where children can play and knowledge workers from the nearby Kentucky Avenue information technology area and from Eli Lilly and Company can share knowledge.  New forms of architecture that incorporate energy efficiency, alternative forms of energy and sustainability are the cornerstone elements of this development.  A focal point is the White River, where an extensive park and trail system celebrates both the history and ecology of the river system. EAST URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP Vision 1: Patching the Urban Quilt This vision is the most basic of the three visions from the Regional Center East Urban Design Workshop, leaving virtually all existing buildings in place and using infill development to fill The area has many vacant lots and surface parking lots that can be developed with mixed- use buildings of varying densities.  The Market Square Arena site contains two mid-rise office buildings for private or government use, as well as apartment buildings as recommended in the City's economic study of the site.  All buildings have ground-floor retail.  The intersection Alabama and Market streets is tapered to form an interior plaza, or the new Market Square and provides additional outdoor space for office workers as well as City Market vendors and patrons.  A new public park is developed just south of the Lockerbie neighborhood to serve the growing residential population, while just north of the Marion County Jail.  On the Market Square Arena site, a mix of apartments, retail shops and office space is built around interior courtyards.  Extensive landscaping of the Interstate, the railroad and surface parking lots combined with new ecologically focused parking garages improve the visual and ecological environment of the study area. NORTHWEST URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP Vision 1: Stadium Drive The Stadium Drive area has a mixture of light industrial, transportation and service industry uses that support the Downtown core.  Major arteries including 16^th Street and Stadium Drive, connect the area with Downtown.  It is also home to Bush Stadium, once the home of the Indianapolis Indians baseball team.  Stadium Drive also has excellent access to natural environmental features, with Fall Creek and the White River forming three of its four boundaries.   The Indianapolis Water Company also maintains substantial open land and the White River and Fall Creek trails in the Indy Parks Greenways provide excellent recreational opportunities. In this vision, emphasis is placed on developing new medium-density housing along the waterways, while maintaining commercial, light industrial or research uses along major streets.   An extensive network of pedestrian trails builds on the presence of the greenways system, while the Clarian People Mover is expanded.  Ideas for IUPUI student housing are proposed, as well as an idea for gaining more public enjoyment of extensive landscaping buffers the railroad and interstate from both residential and business uses.  Wabash Street and Park Avenue become key pedestrian corridors, linking businesses, residential areas and the Downtown core.  Along Wabash Street an artist district builds off of the existing Mass Ave Cultural District to the north. Vision 2: New Landmarks This vision takes an entirely new look at the eastside area, envisioning for the most part complete redevelopment.  On the Market Square Arena site, a new and elaborate contemporary art museum is proposed to become part of an expanded Market District lining Market Street and containing both lunchtime destinations as well as neighborhood-oriented businesses like a drug store, grocery store, hardware store and general store.  A formal neighborhood center is developed at the intersection of Market and Park, where the intersection is chamfered to form a square.  Virtually all buildings are mixed-use, containing parking, residential, retail, office garden space.  Wabash Street is transformed into an interior pedestrian street while retaining the actual street below for deliveries and parking. The Mass Ave Cultural District is essentially expanded into most of the eastside, creating a unique district that in itself is a destination Downtown.  High-density buildings line busy streets like Washington Street, while medium- and low-density buildings line other streets.  A judicial center is proposed just north of the existing Marion County Jail on Maryland Street to provide additional, more secure facilities for the court system.  Extensive landscaping and streetscaping combine with the urban design components to create a more attractive and unique district for workers, residents and visitors. Vision 3: Futures This vision includes a mix of new redevelopment and retention of existing buildings.  Emphasis on street improvements is focused along Market Street, where its intersection with the Interstate is marked with new artistic lighting designed by local artists.  A new school, possibly a magnet school, is proposed along Park Avenue just south of the Lockerbie neighborhood to serve the growing and proposed residential population in the area.  At the base of Massachusetts Avenue, a new Indianapolis Museum of Art is envisioned to be built on a current surface parking lot, while a new judicial center is built on the parking lot Concept sketch from the Regional Center East Urban Design Workshop of a new downtown museum Concept sketch from the Regional Center Northwest Urban Design Workshop of canalwalk development
