8B: Regional Blueways
Build on the White River Vision Plan to protect, restore, and enhance smaller tributary waterways. These tributaries can extend the idea of a healthy and connected White River into additional communities throughout the region, providing signature natural corridors that become a defining element of regional quality of life and brand. Support regional and local planning and investment that elevates waterways into the Indy experience.
Value to the Community
Most residents live a short walk or bike ride from a smaller waterway, and many of the region's historic small towns are anchored by such a stream. Using these streams to connect neighborhoods, parks, commercial districts, and community attractions improves quality of life, improves mental and physical health, and promotes connections among residents.Value to the Hospitality Industry
Extending the goals of the White River Vision Plan to create a regionally connected network of experiences to more communities further establishes Indy as an outdoor destination.Updates
