In the spirit of “Getting the Word Out”, hey… Indy sidewalks are cleaner!!!!! Woohoo!!!!
Downtown sidewalks are clean
IDI’s summer 2006 Sidewalk Assessment was completed in July and the results are good. The summer “clean” rating is 93.5 percent, 4.5 percentage points higher than fall 2005’s 89 percent. The “fair” rating dropped from 9 percent to 5.1 percent and the “dirty” rating dropped from 2 percent to 1.4 percent. The area assessed includes the Mile Square, covering a total of 370 block faces, and was evaluated based on weeds, litter, gum and food debris present.

Perhaps it’s because we’re so busy cleaning up the blood of the 93 homocide victims. Any correlation? (By the way, the sidewalk is really clean where the stabbing that I witnessed was.)
Indy still ranks No. 1 in foreclosures
Indianapolis retains its title as the city with the highest foreclosure rate in the country, according to RealtyTrac, an online marketplace for foreclosure properties. Indianapolis in the second quarter had 6,878 foreclosures–or one for every 101 households. Indianapolis was followed by Atlanta and Dallas, which had a foreclosure rate of one for every 111 and 112 households, respectively. The report ranks the foreclosure rates of the country’s 100 largest metropolitan areas. No other Midwestern city ranked in the top 10. Indianapolis’ second-quarter foreclosure rate was more than three times the national average.
Maybe it’s because folks are bailing out on their mortgages and they don’t use the sidewalks?
I’m not sure, but what I do know is that cleaner sidewalks aren’t the important thing right now.
