Where Downtown West sits
Downtown Gary splits at Broadway. The west side runs from the Grand Calumet River south to 9th Place, between Broadway and Grant Street. Its streets west of Broadway are named for U.S. presidents in the order they were elected, which makes cross streets easy to place once you know the pattern.
Roads the driver will use
- Broadway and 5th Avenue, the two axes of downtown
- 4th and 5th Avenues, both one-way across the north of the city
- U.S. 12 and U.S. 20, which run through downtown
- The Indiana Toll Road, with interchanges at Buchanan Street and at Broadway
Landmarks that help us find the car
The twin domed civic buildings at Broadway and 4th Avenue are hard to miss; one houses the Lake County Superior Court. Gary Metro Center, the South Shore Line station and intercity bus stop, sits just north of 4th Avenue. The Genesis Convention Center and Holy Angels Cathedral are other easy references. Jackson Park, Borman Square and Rees Park are the green spaces.
Pickup notes for Downtown West
- One-way avenues. 4th and 5th Avenues run one way. Give the cross street and which side of the avenue the car is on so the truck can loop the block once, not three times.
- Tight lots. Downtown lots and alleys can be narrow. Tell us what’s parked around the car and whether there’s room to pull a truck in front of it.
- Mixed blocks. Newer housing sits beside vacant lots and older buildings. If the car is on a vacant lot, say who owns the lot and whether you do.
West along 5th Avenue, Ambridge-Horace Mann has its own pickup notes. If the car downtown was totaled in a crash, our guide to a totaled car in Indiana explains what keeping it means.
Questions from Downtown West
The car is on a one-way avenue. What should I tell you?
The cross street and which side of the avenue it's parked on. On 4th and 5th Avenues the truck may need to loop the block, and that tells the driver which way to come in.
Can you pick up from a parking lot downtown?
Yes, apartment and HOA lots included, as long as you have the right to move the car and the truck can get in. Tell us about gates, attendants or height limits on the call.
