Read text ammendment: http://www.eastsidepac.com/docs/indy/2009-038texamendment.pdf

Why: The road has already been widened! The setback is 175 feet from the center of the road and it's EXTREMELY too large for the needs of future wiedning, and compared to the width of the road.
The setback is crippling redevelopment and strangling the businesses struggling to hang on. This amendment will simply give the city 18 months after a widening is complete to fund any future projects or restore property owner's full rights.

Support redevelopment of Independence Blvd. Stand up for neighborhoods, businesses, and landowner's rights.

*The hearing for the text amendment to the transitional setback is April 20th
