On Wednesday, April 13, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. at the Eastern Jr./Sr. High School Cafeteria, the Indiana Department of Transportation held a public hearing. All interested persons were given an opportunity to comment on current design plans for the proposed roadway rehabilitation of US 35 from Wildcat Creek to SR 213.
From Wildcat Creek to Hammer Street the pavement and shoulders will be ground and removed down to the base and overlaid, with sidewalks added along the south side. From Hammer Street to SR 213 the existing pavement and sidewalks will be replaced.
Parallel parking lanes will be provided for on-street parking from Green to Howard Streets. There will be no parking lanes outside this area. The traffic signal will be modernized.
Storm sewers will be reconstructed to improve drainage for the entire corridor and will outlet into Wildcat Creek near the town boat launch.
No displacement of residents or businesses will be involved. Local access to all residences, schools and businesses will be maintained using side streets, temporary entrances or other appropriate means.
The project will be constructed in phases from west to east. US 35 will be closed to through traffic during construction. Tentative timetables were discussed during the formal presentation. Public statements for the record were taken after the presentation. Comments will be accepted for 2 weeks after the hearing.
Documents on the design plans are available for viewing at the Greentown Public Library and at the Government Center North, 100 North Senate, Indianapolis, and at the INDOT office in Greenfield.
