The U.S. 30 West study team will host community office hours Thursday, May 25 from noon to 2 p.m. CT at the Valparaiso Public Library.
ProPEL US 30 officials are asking for the input as they begin streamlining planning studies along the U.S. 30 corridor in Northern Indiana. The study seeks to move communities forward by using a collaborative approach to consider community goals early in the process.
In the summer of 2022, INDOT began a two-year study to focus on what U.S. 30 and U.S. 31 would be like in the next 20 years based on comments from residents.
The U.S. 30 West study is from State Road 49 in Porter County to West County Road 700 North in Fulton County and Beech Road in Marshall County. The U.S. 31 study is from just south of the Eel River in Miami County to just south of the Fulton/Marshall County line.
A PEL study, or Planning and Environmental Linkages study, combines planning, engineering and environmental reviews, considers local needs and priorities, and packs that all in to an eventual action plan to pursue reasonable alternatives.
The study will run until the fall of 2024.
