Back in September, the Department of Public Works (DPW) unveiled the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.broadrippleindy.org\/2021\/09\/15\/br-avenue-redesign-submit-your-input-now\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">first draft of plans<\/a> to redesign the street and surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal of the project is to improve the sewer system, but the redesign will also allow for wider sidewalks, new street lights, and string lights overhead. Springer said new medians will also bring in more landscaping and trees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a much more welcoming environment for residents and visitors to Broad Ripple,\u201d said Springer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"nlp-ignore-block article-content rich-text\">\n<aside class=\"promo-link\">\n\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cbs4indy.com\/news\/hoosiers-sound-off-on-what-makes-indy-a-great-place-for-the-cfp-championship\/\" class=\"promo-link__link\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\tHoosiers sound off on what makes Indy a great place for the CFP Championship\t<\/a><br \/>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p>Springer said it will be a four-month project, weather permitting, that is scheduled to begin in March or April. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to that, we\u2019re also doing the Riverwalk Project at the same time,\u201d said Springer. \u201cThat\u2019s the new 12-foot wide trail that connects the Monon Trail to Broad Ripple Park. So that\u2019s being constructed in the same timeframe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw 71 relocations and expansions of projects and we secured $572 million in capital investment for Indianapolis and that included Broad Ripple,\u201d said Portia Bailey-Bernard, Vice President of Indianapolis Economic Development for Indy Chamber.<\/p>\n<p>Bailey-Bernard said new developments in the city are on track to match pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome really cool projects we saw that broke ground last year in Broad Ripple included the Eight Eleven headquarters project at 62nd and College [Avenue],\u201d said Bailey-Bernard. \u201cThat\u2019s a mixed-use development which really aligns with the city\u2019s goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Springer agreed that mixed-use developments are some of the more common projects to come to Broad Ripple \u2013 including the redevelopment of the former Korger site on Guilford Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe property\u2019s been purchased by Gershman Partners and Citimark,\u201d said Springer. \u201cThey\u2019re the ones that brought Shake Shack to downtown Indianapolis.

He said those plans will be presented to BRVA\u2019s Land Use and Development Committee during the first quarter and construction will likely begin in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Springer said 2022 is off to a great start. He said every new development helps put Broad Ripple on the map as a place to bring in new business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestaurants and small businesses then look to Broad Ripple and say \u2018Look at all the people that are now living in Broad Ripple. This is where I want to put my new restaurant.
