CARME~dCLAY PLAN COMMISSION · David A. Cre~ea~e/~ DATED: December 01, 2000 '" ~ RECEWED CARMEL CLERK TREASURER Technical Memorandum Illinois Street Corridor Resolution No. C',Q.-O 1- Oe,-OI-02. NOVEMBER 17, 2000 Purpose This Technical Memorandum documents a corridor review of proposed Illinois Street from 96th Street to 146th Street in the City of Carmel. (See Location Map, next page.) The purpose .'of this review is to identify potential alignments, determine probable grades (roadway elevations), and evaluate how the proposed roadway would fit with the surrounding terrain and development. Based on the alignment proposed, a cost estimate is provided to support programming of the project. Approach Technical investigations in this study began with aerial photography provided by the Carmel Department of Community Services. Using elevation data associated with the photographic images, a digital terrain computer model was developed so that three dimensional roadway design software could be applied. Typical roadway sections were generated and applied to preliminary centerlines both horizontally and vertically, producing a vertical view. of the roadway,. superimposed on actual terrain, at any paint along the centerline. The results were reviewed with the U.S. 31 Task Force, and alignments and options were finalized. Report Format Information in this Technical Memorandum is presented in three sections. Section 1 illustrates the typical roadway cross sections considered for Illinois Street. Generally, planning is based on an ultimate width of five lanes (or four lanes with center median), as shown on the first sheet. The second sheet shows a three-lane section with shoulders. If constructed as an initial stage, this section could easily be widened to five lanes later. The third section represents a curbed three-lane section. This option was not selected by the U.S. 31 Task Force. Section 2 provides aerial views of the proposed Illinois Street alignment from south to north. Accompanying each sketch is a location map and text to place the segment in context and to highlight any pertinent review comments. Where options still exist at this stage, these are identified and discussed. Section 3 provides a cost estimate for construction of the alignment identified. Related Studies This study is closely related to a separate Technical Memorandum entitled U.S. 31 Depressed Roadway Review (Draft), dated October 5,2000. Both studies are based on the same aerial photography and digital terrain model. This insured a conSistency of base assumptions and results for both studies. Technical Memorandum 1 ,.. -. .

The two lanes widen to three lanes just north of the bridge over 1-465. A curve to the east directs Spring Mill toward the Illinois Street corridor 500 feet north of the bridge.. At this . curve, exi~ting Spring Mill will be realigned to tee into the Illinois Street Corridor. The corridor widens to five lanes at the proposed realignment of Spring Mill and IllinoIs Street. .. - - -o--Nofttii:if1J1e eXlSting--T63,a Street traffic circle, three altematives for Illinois . Street have been defined. Alternative 1 allows the most distance between Illinois Street and the proposed Urban Interchange at 1061h Street and U.S. 31. This distance _. allows for reasonable approach length for turning movements to the interchange. It also maintains a more direct route north I south for the corridor. This alignment proceeds to the west of the two businesses located on the north side of 106th street, minimizing the impacts on the properties. However, a property to the south of 1 06th street will be impacted by this alignment alternative. Alternatives 2 and 3 do not affect the property to the south of 106th street, but they impact either one or both of the properties to the north. These alternatives offer a less direct north I south route than Altemative 1. More importantly, they are spaced so closely to the proposed urban diamond. interchange at U.S. 31 that proper establishment of lanes to serve the 106th Street interchange appears infeasible. . . Alternative 1 is recommended due to the service conflicts caused by Alternatives 2 and 3 at the 106thStreetlU.s. 31 interchange. Due to the probability that U.S. 31 access will not be available at 103rd Street, good service at 106th Street will have added importance in the future.

The elevation or depression of U.S. 31 will inhibit the grade of 111lhStreet to accommodate access to Tottenham Drive. An access point onto Illinois Street south of 111lh Street is recommended.

All three alternatives direct the corridor to the east into close proximity with U.S. 31 for a short distance. Consideration of the grade of . the proposed U.S. 31 freeway will determine the elevation of Illinois Street at this location. The need for retaining walls will be likely. . All three alternatives satisfy appropriate design criteria. They differ primarily in their impact on the la'ridthrough which they pass. Ultimately, discussions with the property owner, the City and planners could aid in determining the "best-fit" alternative for the corridor through this area for future development. . . ',h,;, ., .

These alternatives vary in their proximity to U.S. 31 and where they intersect with 126~ Street.. . . Alternative 1 aligns Illinois Street to the west of existing office buildings on 126~ Street, allowing for smoother grade transition at the crossing of 126~ Street and U.S. 31. '. Alternative 2 keeps Illinois Street close to U,S. 31. The proximity of this access point on 126th Street with U.S. 31 poses a probable steep grade depending on the elevation of the proposed U.S. 31 freeway alternative. but less developable property is impacted: . Alternative 1 is recommended as the best long term option since it . eliminates concerns related to placing a roundabout next to the 126~ Street bridge over U ,S. 31.
