These areas are fully paved behind the curb 

to  allow  for  more  walking  space  and  on-

street dining and amenities



WhEn to uSE

•  Use at Important Nodes or intersections 

where  heavy  pedestrian  activity  is 

anticipated. This would include:

•  Eateries, Coffee Shops, Bars, etc...

•  Places  where  outdoor  seating  and 

awnings are provided

•  Places where bicycle racks or other 

pedestrian amenities are located in

•  Use  in  areas  with  new  mixed-use 

development  as  these  are  likely  to 

increase density. Where trees are desired 

they  can  be  provided  in  tree  grates  or 

separated  beds  rather  than  continuous 

tree lawns

WASHINGTON   STREET  EDGE   TYPOLOGIES



fully PAvEd uRbAn WAlk

ScREEnEd SubuRbAn EdgE

These areas provide a hedge and may include 

commercial-grade  metal  picket  fencing  or 

low masonry walls to screen parked cars



WhEn to uSE

•  This  type  of  condition  should  be 

avoided  within  the  study  area  as  it 

is  more  appropriate  in  auto-centric 

developments that planning in this area 

has sought to avoid

•  Where  parking  lots  do  front  East 

Washington  Street,  a  screened  edge  is 

appropriate

These  areas  provide  a  tree  lawn  between 

the street and building fronts to create more 

comfortable  and  beautiful  conditions  for 

pedestrians

WhEn to uSE

•  This  is  the  dominant  typology  of  the 

corridor and should include most areas 

where on-street seating is not anticipated 

and throughout areas other than select, 

higher intensity nodes.

•  This  type  can  be  used  where  buildings 

are  built  to  the  right-of-way  edge  or 

where buildings are set back or there are 

parks and public spaces. In the case of 

parks or public spaces, design flexibility 

should be allowed.



WAlkS With tREE lAWnS

REtAining WAllS And StEPS

These  areas  provide  a  retaining  wall  and 

steps  to  allow  for  extended  sidewalks  in 

areas where grade change requires it



WhEn to uSE

•  This  typology  of  condition  should  be 

used  sparingly  as  it  can  be  expensive 

and  may  require  changes  to  property 

owners front yards or retaining walls

tREE lAWnS  

uSE coluMnAR tREES

Tree lawns are important in this corridor for improving the 

streets  scale  and  providing  a  more  convivial  environment 

that is helpful in enhancing pedestrian usage



futuRE infill  

dEvEloPMEnt

Future infill development should be encourage to front the 

street and use high-quality materials and a large amount of 

storefront-type  glass.  Entrances  should  front  Washington 

Street,  when  possible,  in  addition  to  or  rather  than  side 

streets or rear-running, smaller local streets.



fully PAvEd  

uRbAn WAlk

Fully paved urban walks are encouraged in areas where tree 

lawns and sidewalks do not currently extend to the right-of-

way edge


lAndScAPE tREAtMEntS  

intERStAtES And ovERPASSES

In  areas  where  there  are  berms  or  grade  changes  for 

large  roadway  or  railway  infrastructure,  simple  and  easily 

maintained  tree  plantings  and  landscape  treatments  are 

encourages

MEdiAnS  

EXtEnd WhERE PoSSiblE

Medians  are  often  challenged  by  the  traffic  engineering 

community  and  sometimes  businesses  on  these  type  of 

corridors because of the possibility of extending in front of 

entry  drives.  Care  should  be  taken  to  extend  medians  as 

much  as  possible,  even  given  these  challenges  because 

the  corridor’s  overall  health  is  important  and  this  is  and 

important piece in creating a human scale.

WoRkShoP goAlS

The Catalyst Site Selection Workshop had several goals:

1.  Define concepts that have realistic potential for success within 

a five to seven year horizon. To that end, one goal was to define 

a “priority area” that had a strong near term real-estate market 

and the potential for partnership with a major employer.

2.  To  come  to  an  agreement  on  five  (5)  focus  areas  where 

the  generation  of  concepts  for  future  development  would 

significantly benefit the areas surrounding them. It was desired, 

but  not  required,  that  three  (3)  of  the  five  catalyst  sites  be 

located within the “priority area”.

3.  To define site boundaries for the selected catalyst sites



PRocESS

1.  Seven  potential  sites  were  examined  during  the 

workshop  and  other  areas  were  considered  as 

well.


2.  A matrix of characteristics (upper left graphic) was 

provided to help compare sites based on:

•  Realistic development potential

•  Ability to acquire land

•  The  potential  to  enhance  public  spaces  and 

streetscapes

•  The  ability  to  enhance  the  surrounding 

neighborhood

3.  Each site and surrounding area was discussed at 

length with aerial photography projected onto the 

meeting room wall to assist the discussion

outcoMES

1.  It was decided that the priority area should be located between I-65 and Oriental Streets from east 

to west and the area between New York Street to the railroad tracks from north to south

2.  The group decided to work around the Angie’s List campus as their growth is strong, they have 

internal planning efforts underway, and other areas require more involvement

3.  Only four of the desired five sites were selected, including:

•  The  gateway  area  formed  by  the  intersection  of  Shelby,  Washington  and  Southeastern  was 

chosen. The group believed it was critical to create a better impression at the entry to East 

Washington Street with a more urban and pedestrian-friendly experience.

•  The  area  near  Oriental  and  Washington  Streets,  including  Ivy  Tech,  the  Strand  Theatre  and 

the  Liederkranz  was  chosen.  The  group  felt  that  the  potential  to  build  around  these  historic 

structures and add new residential and retail offerings had the potential to create a dynamic, 

active place.

•  The  area  around  Willard  Park  was  chosen.  The  group  felt  that  the  park  could  become  a 

“destination” park and interact with a potential future new truck route as well as the adjacent 

Indianapolis Enterprise Center.

•  The Englewood Town Center and PR Mallory sites were chosen. The group decided to combine 

these two sites into a single, broader node. The group felt that a combination of higher-density 

residential,  reuse  of  historic  buildings,  and  new  educational  offerings  could  create  a  highly 

diverse place.

4.  It was determined that the fifth site should be focused on a residential strategy that catered toward 

offering housing to workers within the corridor. The client and consultant met with the Holy Cross 

Neighborhood President and Katy Bret of the land bank to determine the location for an initial study, 

within Holy Cross neighborhood.

cAtAlySt SitE A

nEAR-tERM houSing StRAtEgy

Infill + Enhance

This area already has strong existing home 

sales and prices are above the average 

for the corridor. There is also demand 

for new housing as evidenced by recent 

construction. The goal here would be to 

infill  vacant  parcels  and  provide  missing 

amenities or improvements to enhance the 

existing place.



cAtAlySt SitE b

gAtEWAy AREA

Infill + Enhance

This area has strong recent trending in 

development given the growth of Angie’s 

List’s corporate campus and the recent 

development of Indiana City Brewery. The 

goal for this place would be to enhance 

properties that are inconsistent with 

planning  goals  and  to  infill  new  walkable, 

urban development where possible.



cAtAlySt SitE c

oRiEntAl nodE

Infill + Enhance

This area has strong assets in Ivy Tech 

and  the  historic  Ford  Building.  Given 

recent conversation involving reuse of the 

Ford  Building  and  continuing  discussions 

regarding improvements to Ivy Tech, as 

well as the healthy nearby housing market, 

the goal for this area should be to enhance 

existing  properties  and  to  infill  vacant 

parcels in ways that are consistent with 

planning efforts.



cAtAlySt SitE d

WillARd PARk cycling cEntER

Catalyze + Connect / Plan + Partner

Willard Park is bordered by fairly healthy 

properties that include Indianapolis 

Enterprise Center, some City of Indianapolis 

services and Horner Industries. However, 

there are also significant challenges in the 

broader industrial character of the location 

as well as the housing north of the park.

cAtAlySt SitE E

EnglEWood toWn cEntER

Catalyze + Connect 

The PR Mallory site is fairly healthy to the 

north and west given the strength of efforts 

and  Englewood.  However,  significant 

needs still existing within the property and 

investment is needed to help stimulate 

growth and development.



dEvEloPMEnt StRAtEgy

The East Washington Street corridor has many challenges and opportunities.  The catalyst 

development  sites  identified  below  will  need  to  reflect  diversity  in  their  implementation 

strategies.

Based on the market strength and physical characteristics, areas of the corridor can be 

uniquely  characterized  by  the  appropriate  lead  investor,  investment  objective  and  lead 

implementing  organization,  as  shown  in  the  chart  to  the  right.  This  framework  provide 

guidance for decision-makers to understand the most effect interventions for particular 

areas based on specific needs. Some of these objectives are either complete or already 

underway, but need time to mature, such as “Plan + Partner” areas.
