"...after exhaustive study and thoughtful consideration, we are strongly in favor of the expeditious completion of the Westfield Alignment of the Indianapolis North Flood Damage Reduction Project (the "Project").
By now, we trust you should have received the correspondence issued on behalf of the Butler-Tarkington Neighborhood Association ("BTNA") by BTNA president, Clark Kirkman (a copy of which can be found at http://butlertarkington.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/BTNA-Feb-2016-Letter-to-Mayor-Hogsett.pdf). . . . . you must understand that Butler-Tarkington is a diverse neighborhood of competing interests.
Despite the formal resolutions of the BTNA (who have made an honest, good-faith effort to represent the competing interests of the neighborhood), it is imperative that you hear the voices of the residents who live in the floodplain and whose lives will be directly affected by the Project. . . Please understand that we are not petitioning for unattainable, ideological social change. We simply request that you honor the well-reasoned decision of the Ballard administration and proceed with the Project to save our neighborhood. More at finishthefloodwall.org"
