Harshman is located on the near eastside of Indianapolis. The area is unkempt, although there has been some focus on revitalization. We are going to focus on three major problems to solve.
Problem #1
Trash
Due to the
number of stores, fast food restaurants, and convenient stores,
There is a
high level of trash on the ground around the Harshman neighborhood.
Problem #2
Aesthetics
There is a
small stream (Pogue’s Run) that runs through the Harshman community.
Pogue’s Run
is part of the White River Watershed and very polluted. The pollution
of Pogue’s
Run affects not only the Harshman area but also the White River watershed.
Problem #3
Parks
The parks
in the Cottage Home and Lockerbie neighborhood are overgrown, unkempt,
and are an
eye sore to the area.
