Officials from the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) are encouraging community feedback on its planning studies along the U.S. 30 and U.S. 31 corridors in northern Indiana. The study teams have identified 55 potential solutions to address issues, needs and desired outcomes along the corridors. The list of potential concepts, known as the “Universe of Alternatives”, is tailored to each study area.
Potential improvements include a variety of enhancements to address identified transportation needs, including location-specific improvements – such as roadway lighting, adding or extending turn lanes and acceleration lanes—as well as corridor improvements, such as added travel lanes and freeway conversion.
Because safety is an INDOT priority, potential improvement concepts also include proven approaches to enhance safety, like advanced warning systems and innovative intersections such as Reduced Conflict Intersections (RCIs), Continuous Green T (CGT) Intersections and quadrant roadway intersections.
INDOT has relied upon public feedback during each phase of the study, and will continue to do so through its conclusion, which is expected next fall.
In addition to submitting comments online by visiting each of the study websites, study teams are visiting communities along the corridors on a regular basis.
INDOT is inviting public feedback to the potential solutions by December 22, 2023. After public feedback is evaluated, INDOT will publish a final Universe of Alternatives screening report on the ProPEL U.S. 30 and U.S. 31 websites.
