BG Work Moving Well Along Emerson, Says Wright
08/31/2006
Emerson Avenue is starting to look a bit like the gateway that Beech Grove mayor Joe Wright very much wants it to be. Work crews are currently erecting towers that will feature prominent signs indicating where drivers are at. “People have got to know when they come into Beech Grove and when they leave Beech Grove,” Wright said Tuesday.
The towers, along with the resurfacing and expansion of Emerson Avenue to incorporate the city’s old First Avenue, are the beginning of Wright’s effort to dress up the east side of Beech Grove. The towers are funded, in part, through redevelopment district monies the city has collected thanks to the new Lowe’s and Wal-Mart stores on Emerson Avenue south of I-465.
Work will end this weekend on the southbound lanes of Emerson between Albany Street and Churchman Avenue. After the holidays, road crews will flip over to the northbound lanes and another contractor will cut into Amtrak’s retaining wall to erect another welcoming tower. When the work is finished, people will see an Emerson Avenue corridor green, wide and free of telephone poles and overhead wires.
Another step forward for the corridor could come as soon as this week. CSX officials are nearly done with remediation on the 117-acre site north of Amtrak’s Beech Grove Shoppes and apparently close to a development deal with an undisclosed developer, Wright said. Wright wants to see industrial development on the property, to be fronted with a residential commercial mix.
