Public feedback has been vital to the success of the studies, which began in 2022.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe ProPEL US 30 and 31 studies allowed us to engage with the public earlier in the planning process than a typical transportation project,\u201d INDOT project manager Jonathan Wallace said. \u201cINDOT scopes and funds projects five years into the future, so the first projects could be three to five years away. These studies were able to shape a vision for US 30 and 31 while providing important data to inform and streamline future efforts.\u201d\r\n\r\nEach of the study teams will host community office hours, which are informal, in-person conversations where community members can engage directly with the study team. The public is also invited to attend virtual, on-demand public meetings for each of the study areas.

Examples of changes to the Level 3 screening report based on public feedback include:\r\n\r\n<b>US 30 East<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>In Columbia City, all improvement packages feature full access at State Road 205. This change better accommodates traffic to and from the hospital and the surrounding region.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>In Warsaw, the freeway alternative was updated to include local service roads. This change provides access to and from businesses situated between Old US 30 and County Road 250 East.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>US 30 West<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>In Wanatah, an overpass at LaPorte County Road 1100 West was replaced with a\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/click.subscription.in.gov\/?qs=3a5f47e798e8568b322e35868de6934a2c4a4fdde511ae9c2385f077b18ab47d08bc66784672ce7f0bcda73182de7311ac736ac78024ec2d\" href=\"https:\/\/click.subscription.in.gov\/?qs=3a5f47e798e8568b322e35868de6934a2c4a4fdde511ae9c2385f077b18ab47d08bc66784672ce7f0bcda73182de7311ac736ac78024ec2d\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\">directional intersection<\/a>, and Condon Street was changed from right-in\/right-out to a directional intersection. In addition, dedicated median openings were added to allow U-turn movements. These changes improve access for emergency services and local connectivity.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>In West Plymouth, an overpass was replaced with an interchange at Union Road in one of the expressway alternatives. This change improves access for those traveling to Marian University\u2019s Ancilla College and the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ Center at Donaldson complex.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>US 31 South<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>In Sharpsville, an overpass was added at the intersection of US 31 and County Road 300 North in one of the arterial alternatives and the expressway lite alternative. These changes improve east-west mobility and connectivity.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>In the Grissom area, the expressway lite and freeway alternatives include an interchange alternative at the US 31 and County Road 800 South intersection rather than at the County Road 850 South intersection. This change promotes east-west mobility by improving traffic flow while also improving safety.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe study teams also clarified language in the Final Level 3 Screening Reports to better identify which packages warrant further consideration by INDOT after the PEL studies.
