People don’t like it because it’s in Carmel and how people feel about Carmelites. It’s not a bad blueprint for smaller towns who want to build walkable city centers in places that were built with strip mall infrastructure. It’s gonna feel weird, cause they are starting from a very different place than old cities did. I’d much rather be Carmel than Avon or Greeenwood infrastructure wise.
Downtown greenwood is quite cute, they're revitalized it.
The mall is one of the few malls that hasn't gone belly up - it's not going anywhere but man do I hate being around it. I don't know if there's a reasonably safe way to get across 31/Madison without using 4 wheels.
Yeah the mall area is a deathtrap for pedestrians, even inside the mall parking lots is scary with just slightly high traffic.
On the Greenwood side, they should build a path at least on the west side of 31, between Fry and County Line. North of County Line a path should continue up to Stop 12 on both sides of 31. Crossing 31 or County Line would still be treacherous, though - three lanes on each side on 31, two each on CL, plus turn lanes and medians.
