The Indiana Department of Transportation is seeking feedback on the future of Interstates 65 and 70 inside the Interstate 465 loop.
ProPEL Indy is a transportation study that will identify needs and eventually identify options that will inform the next 20 years of investment on I-65 and I-70 inside the I-465 loop in Indianapolis. While the interstate and connecting ramps through the corridor will need future rehabilitation and updates, INDOT wants to ensure those improvements incorporate community vision and priorities and work efficiently with other modes of transportation, according to ProPEL Indy.
To ensure the community’s needs and goals are being considered, INDOT will rely heavily on input from people who live, work, shop, play, learn and travel in and around the I-65 and I-70 corridors. Potential improvements will be identified to enhance safety and mobility while also improving connectivity, economic development, and livability.
During the ProPEL Indy study, INDOT will look at transportation, environmental, community, and economic goals early in the planning process to ensure that projects are of most benefit to the community. INDOT also plans to host public town halls, personal interviews and virtual forums to encourage individuals, businesses, and organizations to share ideas on the future of I-65 and I-70 inside the I-465 loop, according to ProPEL Indy.
The agency is also asking anyone who lives, works or travels near the corridors to complete a brief survey about their concerns and priorities. The survey can be found by going to ProPELIndy.com and clicking on the “Provide Comments” heading.
