The Indianapolis Cultural Trail: A Legacy of Gene and Marilyn Glick is an 8.1-mile-long (13.0 km) urban multi-use trail and linear park located in central Indianapolis, Indiana. The trail has inspired similar projects in U.S. cities such as Charlotte, Cleveland, Denver, and St. Louis.
The Indianapolis Cultural Trail is a multi-use trail
The walk can be accessed at West Walnut Street between North Meridian Street and North Capitol Avenue.
Indianapolis has seven designated neighborhoods as Cultural Districts, first established in 1999. The purpose of these designations was to capitalize on cultural institutions within historically significant neighborhoods unique to the city's heritage for economic development and revitalization. Six of the seven districts are located along the Cultural Trail.
The seventh district, Broad Ripple Village (about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) north), is connected to the Cultural Trail via the Monon Trail.
As of 2019[update], there are nine commissioned art installations along the trail:
In addition to commissioned art, the Arts Council of Indianapolis's "Indy Arts Guide" lists 61 pieces of public art along or near the trail as of January 2019[update]. In August 2018, Citizens Energy Group partnered with the Harrison Center for the Arts to install 20 artist-designed manhole covers along the trail. The initiative sought to bring public attention to Indianapolis waterways and the $1.9 billion DigIndy project to correct the city's combined sewer overflows (CSOs) by 2025.
At completion, the project cost totaled $62.5 million.
According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, early grant applications predicted $863 million in development generated within a 0.5 miles (0.80 km) radius of the trail.
An Indiana University Public Policy Institute report released in March 2015 found that assessed value of properties within 500 feet (150 m) of the trail increased by $1,013,544,460 from 2008 to 2014. Other key finds from the report:
