The Wabash workers removed dirt and filled in gravel for the concrete footprint of the stop and then spread the dirt across the rest of the lot. The finished stop will feature a concrete surface, a bike rack, and a microlibrary for children’s use. Mapleton–Fall Creek Development Corporation is a nonprofit that helps preserve Mapleton–Fall Creek’s old homes and ensure affordable housing in the area.
According to Jackie Nytes, this is the fifth WABASH Day project helping the organization. Nytes, a former MFCDC Executive Director and current Indianapolis Public Library C.E.O., lives in the neighborhood and represented it on the Indianapolis City–County Council for twelve years. When Nytes took the reins at the Indy Library, Leigh Evans, another Mapleton–Fall Creek resident, stepped up to lead the CDC. Kelli Mirgeaux serves as MFCDC’s Communications and Outreach Coordinator and coordinated the WABASH Day activities. Nytes, Evans, and Mirgeaux all helped with the bus-stop project.
