College Ave. is now a two-way, S. Meridian St. is under construction around Georgia St., the Cultural Trail is finished so there's more foot traffic, and Penn is tore up at Market.

Taylor Schaffer — President and CEO of Downtown Indy Inc. — is in good traffic to share an ongoing story on the proliferation of placemaking, urbanism, walkability, and the potential to live car-free or car-lite in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is the first-ever episode of the new good traffic subseries: Walkable Pockets. We'll traverse underrated, often unsuspecting, pockets of the U.S. where one can find walkability at the crossroads of affordability. The usual suspects for walkable community are often either too pricey, too far, or too impractical for many folks to move or travel to. This series will bring walkable neighborhoods (or, pockets), and the potential of a less car-dependent lifestyle closer to home, and within budget. We discuss: 00:31 — A background on the current state of urbanism in Indianapolis. 01:34 — Indianapolis' walkability and sense of place. 02:29 — Exploring Monument Circle and its placemaking transformation into car-free, activated space. 04:21 — The role of events and community engagement in urban planning. 12:21 — Data collection and analysis in placemaking and urban design. 13:26 — The cruciality of active management in public spaces. 26:13 — The trajectory of downtown Indianapolis. 35:05 — Living in downtown Indianapolis, and the potential to live car-free or car-lite both practically and affordably. 36:40 — Indianapolis' Cultural Trail and active transportation infrastructure. 40:33 — Current and future development projects, ongoing.

On June 30, Brian Payne will finish a 23-year run as CEO and president of the Central Indiana Community Foundation and president of the Indianapolis Foundation. You can think of CICF as an umbrella organization that includes the Indianapolis Foundation and many other foundations and charitable funds that make nearly $100 million in grants every year to help not-for-profit groups in central Indiana. Over 23 years of Payne's leadership, the total assets of the CICF collective organization have grown from $338 million to more than $1 billion. For that alone, Payne is widely considered one of the most influential not-for-profit leaders in the city. But he also is the founder and primary creative force behind the $63 million Indianapolis Cultural Trail that loops downtown, links its six cultural districts and has become a major driver of economic development along its path. He further cemented his reputation for taking on big challenges when, in 2018, CICF formally changed its mission to support racial equity and inclusion and to dismantle institutional racism in central Indiana. At CICF, the new focus on fighting racism and creating opportunity for people of color led to changes big and small—from anti-racist training for its staff and cultivating new vendors to structural shifts that affected which programs and initiatives it decides to fund. The new focus was received positively by many and was criticized by others. In this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast, Payne explains why he has decided to retire from full-time work, what he plans to do next, and how CICF will change once he leaves. We also discuss the impact of the Cultural Trail, why CICF decided to change its mission in 2018 and the challenge of measuring its progress on a goal as large as dismantling institutional racism. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

Show Notes:Landing page on the Active Towns website for access to videos and photos of the trailIn June 2021, I had the honor of attending the Walk Bike Places conference in Indianapolis, Indiana and one of the things I was most looking forward to was re-visiting the Indy Cultural Trail, one of the most extraordinary and impactful activity assets I have ever experienced and documented. The Trail did not disappoint, in fact, it had gotten even more impressive in the three years since my previous visit.In addition to using the Trail every day during my nearly week-long stay to get to and from the convention center and various conference-related activities, I was able to participate in a fabulous workshop tour led by Sarah Frey, Director of Development and Marketing, for the Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene & Marilyn Glick.As part of that workshop, I produced this video and I planted the seed with Sarah to eventually get her on the podcast because this is a powerful story that needs to be told and many communities around the world can benefit from it.I hope you enjoy it.Cheers!John Additional Helpful Links:Walk Bike Places Conference produced by PPS-Project for Public Spaces and presented by PeopleForBikesTrail expansion articleTrail Art InstallationsIndy Canal and Open SpacesWhite River TrailMonon TrailCity of Indianapolis Bikeways and MapIndy Trails and GreenwaysOur Carmel, IN videoArleigh Greenwald - Bike Shop GirlStreetfilmsShow Credits:Audio Production by Active TownsA not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping communities create a Culture of Activity.Creative Commons License: Attributions Non-Commercial No Derivatives 2021Please consider supporting the Active Towns Podcast by making a donation or becoming Patreon PatronTo sign up for our monthly newsletter, scroll down to the form at bottom of our home pageBe sure to check out our video podcasts and other content on our YouTube Channel - and please subscribe!Also, check out our video archive on VimeoYou can reach John Simmerman by email at john@activetowns.orgMusic: Various Logic Pro X mixes by John Simmerman★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week we had the pleasure of virtually hanging out with Sarah Frey, who is the Development and Marketing Manager of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail. From the conversation, it is clear that Sarah was uniquely designed for this role. While she loves the outdoors and the environment, she also is a great communicator and relationship builder. The Cultural trail truly is lucky to have her! Sarah has more than a decade of experience in development, communications, and community building at non-profits around Indianapolis. In her role at the Cultural Trail, she is responsible communications strategy, donor engagement, community partnerships, events, an amazing young professionals board, as well as ongoing programming like Cultural Trail Food Tours, group rides, and volunteers. In her free time, you can find Sarah biking or running on the Cultural Trail, finding the best places in the Midwest to camp with her husband, or enjoying a hot cup of tea and a book.

In December, the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee and the Arts Council of Indianapolis unveiled the newest addition to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene and Marilyn Glick, on the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The installation, aptly entitled "Talking Wall" was concepted and designed by Indiana artist Bernard Williams and invites an open-ended conversation about the African-American history of Indianapolis. Unique to the installation is the viewer interaction. The installation offers the opportunity to both literally and figuratively walk in the shadows of Indianapolis' heroic ancestors and cultural icons. Guests: Bill Shrewsberry, GIPC Board Member and president of local engineering firm Shrewsberry & Associates, and Arts Council President/CEO Dave Lawrence. (Working on artist Bernard Williams).

The Art of the Matter broadcast live from the Grand Opening of the Cultural Trail on Saturday, May 11. Listen as Sharon Gamble and Travis DiNicola "Get down on it" with stories, and interviews with Brian Payne - President and CEO, Central Indiana Community Foundation, Chris Gahl - Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Visit Indy, and Elizabeth Garber - Owner and Operator, The Best Chocolate in Town, plus many more!
