Exactly. I always thought they intended to do that. The second condo from the left is relatively new. Before that was put in, there was a relatively large gap between the far left condo (kind of out by itself) and the row of condos that starts on the right of the current gap. I assumed that gap was left on purpose to possibly add a canal access point or another pedestrian bridge to the other side of the canal (there's a small unused section of canal frontage over there).
For once, google maps outdated satellite imagery comes in handy, as you can see the gap as of a couple years ago. You can also see the unused space on the other side of the canal.
As you say, though, there's still space to at least add a small staircase for the residents.
Notre Dame Football QuickyI'm so amused by this horrible prediction that I can't bring myself to delete it yet. 11/2/09: Something tells me that, no matter what, ND is going to end up 10-3 after their bowl game. Either they finish 10-2, get a BCS bid against a superior opponent and lose, or they finish 9-3, get a Gator Bowl bid against an opponent they can beat and win. Go Irish! Beat Midshipmen!
DIG-B is an acronym for "Development in Indy, Gear & Beer." It originated as a place to write about three of my interests, though my Beer writing has since moved over to Hoosier Beer Geek and I haven't written as much about Gear (electronics).
These days, DIG-B is primarily a place where I post the pictures I take of development projects around downtown Indianapolis, though don't be surprised to see Beer, Gear and other assorted topics pop up from time to time.

Such WONDERFUL canal access!
Nothing says urban living like a walled-off development with no pedestrian access.
In the last picture, note the barricade between the condos. Two levels of guardrail, two red diamonds, and a yellow diamond sign.
Why not just build a stair instead?
