INDIANAPOLIS — Officials with the Metropolitan Development Commission recently approved the zoning changes for a proposed Wawa gas station and convenience store on the corner of Shortridge Rd. and E. Washington St. The property has been mostly vacant for the past two decades, except for temporary produce and a Christmas tree stands. It abuts the GetFit facility.
Due to the property being on the future IndyGo Blue Line, it falls under a transit-oriented development overlay that holds developments to standards that encourage walkability and transit use. The builders complied with MDC’s recommendations on parking lots, and other matters brought forward during the previous hearing.
Wawa is planning on opening the gas station/convenience store in early 2027.
