RE: Indiana Department of Transportation
Support for contingent Traffic Signal Installation - Bennett Parkway
REI Real Estate Services
Dear Mr. Grabow:
The Indiana Department of Transportation understands that REI Real Estate Services is pursuing redevelopment of the
parcel directly across from Bennett Parkway. INDOT received a requestto permit a major commercial driveway on the
east side of US 421 across from Bennett Parkway. Based on the traffic analysis supplied by the developer, this new
development should generate enough traffic to warrant a traffic signal at full -build out. it is our understanding that the
developer would like to install this driveway immediately to provide access for clients that are ready to develop.
REI Real Estate Services will have to design the traffic signal improvements in accordance with the Indiana Design
Manual, coordinate with the City of Carmel and INDOT for any signal -based agreements, such as emergency vehicle
preemption and/or decorative features, and obtain an encroachment permit for the improvements.
The proposed traffic signal installation on US 421 will better serve our citizens by providing right-of-way access for the
demand generated by this development and mitigates potential mobility and safety issues that would arise with a stop -
controlled intersection.
Sincerely,
Old-�h.SL
