Do you have any additional comments or suggestions about the transportation network in Central Clarksville?

• We do NOT need bike lanes• We NEED safe running and walking

paths (and crosswalks)• Street lighting• Public transit routes/frequency (and

benches and trash cans at all stops)• Avoid round-abouts/traffic circles• Connectivity between Lewis and Clark

Pkwy and Veterans (maybe Broadway should go through)

• Veterans is too slow, traffic moves well on L & C

• Need traffic calming, too much speeding on L & C

• No road diet, don’t try to slow traffic• Traffic light timing to optimize traffic

flow• Improvements to Green Tree Blvd. • Would like to see scooter rentals (Bird,

Lime, etc.)• Electric vehicle charging stations• Brown Station Way should NOT be

changed

Do you have any additional suggestions or ideas for amenities and programming that were not shown? Please describe (optional).

• Pocket parks in neighborhoods• Larger and updated library • It would make a great entertainment

area... once the malls are gone• Financial incentives for homeowners to

upgrade existing housing • Mountain biking trails that coexist with

River Heritage Conservancy and connect all of southern IN

• Local shops and restaurants• Central gathering space• Outdoor entertainment venue,

especially for families, kids, and teens• Indoor recreation• Dog park• Recreation facilities and amenities for

people with disabilities• Public art• Christmas decorations




What is your one BIG IDEA for Central Clarksville?

• Green spaces for walking, running, gathering, outdoor plaza, outdoor dining

• Reimagine Central Clarksville as a place for people, not vehicles.

• Affordable housing for all ages & stages. • Use water to create a destination (canal

or lake)• Remove excess pavement• Locally owned businesses• Transform vacant space into useful space• Make it more family friendly, attractions

for kids, teens, families• Green buildings• Add more medical facilities• Create a “downtown”

• Destination retail like Ikea or Costco• Music venue• Make it a more small-town/inviting feeling• Dog park• Need more/better grocery options• Better pedestrian access• To utilize the River Falls Mall as a possible

Convention Center for Southern Indiana and to regrow the Green Tree Mall.

• Widen Blackiston Mill and provide sidewalks throughout Central Clarksville

• More community events • Modernization! I feel Clarksville has been

left behind by New Albany and Jeff.




Are there any specific ISSUES within the study area that we should be aware of?

• Traffic along L & C and Veterans• Sewage smell• Development along Eastern Blvd.• Too many run-down apartments and

homes in this area• Fill the empty malls, they are a damper

on the community• Need to look beyond retail, that’s not

the future of this corridor• We’re losing businesses to other

neighboring cities/towns• Lack of sidewalks (especially along

Blackiston Mill), trees, green spaces• Homelessness and drug use/issues

• Do not try to reuse existing structures that have been vacant for years. Best course of redevelopment for these areas (especially for different purpose) is a clean slate

• Do not remove travel lanes• Connecting the neighborhoods into one

community would be helpful. Everything is so separated that it creates a lack of cohesiveness

• Housing, improve exiting stock, make more affordable, incentives for owner-occupied rehabs, prioritize home ownership over rental apartments




Where are the OPPORTUNITIES for improvement, new development, or redevelopment in the study area?

• All the empty or underutilized buildings• The two mall properties• Higher quality hotels as an alternative to

Louisville• Lewis & Clark Parkway (especially past

Kia)• Greentree Blvd.• Eastern Blvd.• Opportunities to create gateways /

gateway development• Make a more outdoor feel for shopping,

with pedestrian amenities and green spaces

• Food truck garden at one of the retail developments utilizing the excess parking lot

• Opportunities that attract younger families

• Housing, in many forms and price points• Don’t want Clarksville to lose its small-

town appeal• Redevelop under-utilized commercial

areas into mixed-use developments • Woodstock Dr. needs to be reopened• Lower taxes and fees, permits, etc.
