The ProPEL U.S. 30 study team is hosting a second round of Public Information Meetings to let interested residents learn how their ideas have helped shape the Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) studies along U.S. 30 and U.S. 31.
The ProPEL U.S. 30 West study area extends from State Road 49 in Porter County to West County Road 700 North in Fulton County and Beech Road in Marshall County.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide study information and seek public feedback to refine the draft vision, goals, and purpose and need of the study. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) intends to use the information, analysis, and decisions from the PEL study process to inform future federal environmental reviews conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
The first meeting is scheduled for tonight (June 5) from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET at the Argos Community Jr./Sr. High School at 500 Yearick Street. The next meeting is set for tomorrow (June 6) from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. CT at Tri-Township Schools at 309 School Drive in Wanatah.
The ProPEL U.S. 30 study team is requesting public comment on the draft purpose and need statement that will identify the transportation issues along the corridor and state the desired outcomes. Meeting participants will have time to view project displays and speak with project representatives during an informal open house session before and after the presentation. To accommodate those unable to attend, a virtual meeting replay will be available by June 7 on the project website at propelus30.com. The virtual meeting replay and public comment period will be available until July 31, 2023.
