Re: Altemative Transportation Plan Amendment (Docket No. 100-03 CPA)
Deaz Commission Members
The attached amendments to the Carmel/Clay 2020 Vision Plan; Chapter 6: Thoroughfare Plan;
Alternative Transportation Plan, are being forwarded to you at the behest of the Carmel/Clay Alternative
Transportation Committee. The fourteen items outlined have been crafted to respond to amendments
previously adopted into the Twenty-year Thoroughfare Plan, and to represent more accurately the
community's objectives with respect to the US 31 Improvement Project.
The Department is working with the Department of Parks & Recreation to include their
infrastructure on the Bicycle Route Plan; therefore, the drafr of the Route Plan included with this packet will
almost certainly be revised by the opening of the hearing on Tuesday evening. If revised, the new plan will
be provided to you at that time.
The Public Input Period for the US 31 Draft EIS ends August 4, 2003, so the Department is asking
your consideration in suspending the Rules in order to forward these amendments to the Common Council
with a favorable recommendation at the conclusion of the hearing.
If you have questions regarding these comments please contact me at (317) 571-2417
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
~.
Lau~~ Lillig, 7r.
