EXHIBIT
96th Street and Westfield Boulevard
Based on the analysis in this study, although certain movements experience significant
delay the intersection of 96~" Street and Westfield Boulevard will continue to operate at
accepted levels of service if the vacant land in the study area is developed as a
maximum of 3 dwelling units per acre residential as proposed by the Cannel/Clay
Township Comprehensive Plan. Traffic engineering modifications, as discussed in
Recommendation 4 on the next page, would help to improve the safety on the facility
for existing conditions as well as future conditions.
The overriding conclusions from the public input to this study is that residents near the
study area desire to maintain the residential character of the area as reflected in
current land-use plans and would prefer to make roadway improvements only to the
extent necessary to address local needs.
The "recommendations" in this report are not to be construed as final decisions. They
are simply recommendations to the effected governing bodies to be acted upon at their
discretion.
Study recommendations have been presented (in italics) at appropriate points
throughout this report. The following is a summary of recommendations in this study:
1. Transportation Altematives 2 ("S"-Curve), 3 (Modified "S"-Curve), and 4 (96th
Street Bddge) should be removed as improvement options.
e
Plans for extending the Monon Trail and/or other planned uses of the
Monon Corridor bddge under Interstate 465 should proceed with no
provision for joint use with 96th Street.
Traffic conditions on 96t" Street should be closely monitored following the
opening of the 96th Street bddge over the White River as it pertains to the
conclusions of this study. The bddge is cun'ently scheduled for opening in
1998.
The vacant land in the study area should be developed as a maximum of 3
dwelling units per acre as defined as the upper-end of the low intensity land
use category provided by the Cannel/Clay Township Comprehensive Plan.
The traffic engineering improvements to the 96~' Street and Westfield
:Boulevard intersection, as detailed in Alternative 1, should be implemented.
The option of constructing a bddge to connect 96th Street across Interstate
465 (as a skewed overpass) should be retained in the event of future
demand.
e
The option to connect 96'" Street to 101'~ Street (Alternative 6) should be
subjected to further study to analyze the corridor at a regional level before
given further consideration as a viable alternative.
