West Second Street Corridor Vision Plan – This project would facilitate a visioning process for the design of the West Second Street Corridor from Washington Street to State Road 37 (~2.5 miles). West Second Street is a major east/west arterial that transects Bloomington. It is bordered by a myriad of uses including core neighborhoods, City parks, Bloomington Hospital, and professional, commercial, and residential uses. This project would develop the streetscape design, preferred land uses and their intensity, and the context of the corridor and the surrounding environment (character zones). The end result will give a clear vision and definition of the design, context, and intensity of the corridor for land uses and their relationship with the modes of transportation within the corridor.

‘Complete Street’ Design for Allen Street – This project would formulate design recommendations with specific emphasis on alternative transportation for Allen Street from Henderson Street to Rogers Street (~0.6 miles). Allen Street experiences relatively little vehicular traffic but does present design challenges such as appropriate crossing treatments at high traffic intersections and right-of-way width. It is identified to serve the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians who wish to access key destinations such as the downtown B-Line multi-use trail, core neighborhoods, an elementary school, and one of the City’s most popular parks (Bryan Park). The end result will provide a design which facilitates use of Allen Street as a ‘bicycle boulevard,’ encourages the use of this street as a ‘safe route to school,’ and serve the needs of adjacent neighborhoods.

Five interstate changes on I-69 are within the City of Fort Wayne and offer very little visual appeal to travelers. A landscape design study that proposed low maintenance creative solutions that could be coordinated with the Indiana DOT would offer both green design opportunities as well as decreased maintenance cost to INDOT.

Washington Blvd. is the primary entrance to downtown from the east. Both the East Central Neighborhood and Memorial Park Neighborhood have recently completed neighborhood plans with the assistance of the City but a more focused look at the area as a gateway to downtown could be valuable. This project could also focus a look at al gateways into downtown.

In long term planning, we look towards a complete overhaul of current facilities. In the future, we would like to see Isanogel move towards development of several smaller cabins that could each sleep approximately 10 campers and 4 staff. Ideally, we would like to see approximately 8 of the smaller cabin buildings. We are also looking to increase the indoor program space available. We would like to see at least one structure that would be a safe storm shelter able to accommodate 150 individuals. We also look forward to increasing program options with the potential addition of a pond/lake for fishing, horse barn and trails, and an archery range. Ideally, we would like to see central air in all facilities (including an updated health center and the lodge). The kitchen facilities are also in need of update to include better functionality in design.

Our site is the T.C. Steele Memorial in Brown County. On this site is Mr. Steele’s home and studio. The Indiana State Museum owns the art and DNR manages the property. Mrs. Steele (Selma) had a well known flower garden. We believe Heritage Flowers have a legitimate basis in history at this site. An artistic greenhouse is another opportunity for a worthy attraction. It is essential that the T.C. Steele site be the Flower Capital of Indiana, otherwise the attraction will not meet our tourism goals.

Provide assistance to a remote part of Kosciusko County/Syracuse/Lake Wawassee area. That is a rather geographically isolated part of the county which has deteriorated into a zone of poverty, crime, delinquency, academic failure, unemployment, alcohol/drug abuse, neighborhood deterioration and hopelessness. The Bowen Center, is a private not-for-profit community mental health center. Though we are not usually in the business of community organization, the mental health condition of the children and adults in Fascination Place (the trailer park section of Enchanted Hills) is so affected by the environment in which they live, that we feel a sense of responsibility to try to make a difference.
