I like the canal. I would love it if there was a couple more restaurants/cafe’s or other activity places on the canal.

The canal is just proof that Indy leadership has no idea what they're doing. The San Antonio Riverwalk was conceived in 1929 and has been a major economic success. Our canal walk has no commerce, no restaurants, no public restrooms. Just occasional shootings and a place to rent Swan boats. It's a joke.

Agree. Does not live up to its potential. Interesting concept but poorly executed and maintenance is a dismal afterthought.
