A proposal passed by the Indianapolis City-County Council last week amends parts of Indy Rezone, an overhaul of the city’s zoning ordinances. It introduces a new overlay district that applies to IndyGo’s rapid transit lines
Called transit oriented development, the trend in city planning aims to create more compact and sustainable communities close to mass transit options. In Indianapolis, the new bus rapid transit lines - Red, Blue and Purple - are the focus.
The city has been working on the changes since joining the American Cities Climate Challenge in 2018.
