Background

 
   
Indy Gateways was launched in 2004 as a partnership between the City of Indianapolis and the Rotary Club of Indianapolis as a way to showcase the city's gateways at major points of entry to the city, its neighborhoods and key destinations.

A Gateways Workgroup was established and charged with identifying potential gateway locations as well as developing a toolbox to provide a guide for the development of gateways in Indianapolis.  This workgroup identified fifteen priority sites, presented back to the community along with the report and toolbox in July of 2005.
