Nora Gateway Beautification Project: 86th & Keystone Ave Bridge

Meeting with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful Special Projects Coordinator, Mark Adler, and a designer to gather public input.

The purpose is to involve local citizens in the design of a proposed beautification project at the interchange, and discuss short and long-term ideas for improving connectivity, aesthetics, safety, walkability in that specific area. See Nora’s 86th St / Keystone Bridge Gateway Beautification Project for more information.

We’d love to have you there!

St. Luke’s Methodist Church, 100 W. 86th St., Room C110

Agenda:

1. Introduction of project
   1. How did we get here, why are we here
   2. Why is KIB at the table?
2. Examine existing 86^th and Keystone location and what residents would like to see/not see in this space
   1. Concerns: current line of sight (for vehicles), safety (potential homeless), native versus invasive plant material (currently very heavy on honeysuckle and pear trees which both have their challenges)
   2. Opportunities: current bridge construction, Nora gateway, signage opportunity, public art opportunity
3. Open discussion with KIB and landscape architect from CEC who has done gateway type planting in the past
4. Next steps
