Overall, this continues to demonstrate what a fundamentally un-serious legislator Freeman is. Nothing introduced by Freeman has served a public good, only a personal vendetta.

This is an important meeting to attend. The State Legislature is preparing anti-Indianapolis bills for the year and may attempt to unilaterally undo the democratically-passed referendum.

General reminder that State Law allows private utilities to use the public right of way *for free,* so long as they move for a public works project. Picking out one project for one agency in one city to change the rule sets a really dangerous precedent for everyone else.
I keep hearing there will be a bill to make IndyGo pay for utility relocation on Indy's bus rapid transit project, which would be a huge and unbudgeted cost. I asked Sen. Aaron Freeman about it. Freeman: “I am not doing anything on IndyGo this year. I’m tired of being the guy.”

What happens if the utilities start lobbying to force cities and counties to pay for their relocations on other projects? Basic maintenance suddenly gets significantly more expensive and the utilities still get a free ride.

We’ve created dangerous stroads. In the worst case, we pretend they are pedestrian places. Terrible! We can get this right: Stroad to Road: Reduce access, prioritize through movement, simplify. Stroad to Street: Slow traffic, prioritize people over cars, build a lot of stuff.
