The Indiana Department of Transportation will host a public information meeting as it continues its Planning and Environment Linkage (PEL) studies along the U.S. 30 and U.S. 31 corridors in northern Indiana. The purpose of the meeting is to share potential improvement packages at primary and secondary intersections, which are detailed in the study Draft Level 3 Screening Report. Draft reports are now available for viewing on the ProPEL U.S. 30 and ProPEL U.S. 31 study websites.
The studies span 180 miles across 12 counties and include U.S. 30 from Valparaiso to the Indiana/Ohio state line (excluding I-69 and I-469 around Fort Wayne), as well as U.S. 31 between Hamilton County and Plymouth (excluding the Kokomo bypass). Counties within the study area include Allen, Fulton, Hamilton, Howard, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Marshall, Miami, Porter, Starke, Tipton, and Whitley.
During a PEL study, INDOT engages the public early in the planning process – before project scopes are known. Public feedback is vital to the success of the study and will help inform future potential solutions that will guide the next 20-plus years of transportation investments. In-person public information meetings will be held in each of the four study areas. Virtual meetings will be available for those unable to attend on each study's website.
The U.S. 30 public information meeting involving Marshall County will be held on Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. at Plymouth High School. There will be a presentation at 5:30 p.m.
A virtual meeting is also available on Thursday at ProPELUS30.com
