96th Street
(p.63) shows 96th between Keystone and Westfield as Primary Arterial
(p.90) needs re-write / cf: p.100 Stratedgy and maps on pp. 63-91-101
(p.91) two lane “arterial” / three lane arterial w/commercial context
96th St. from Keystone (4 lanes) narrows to three lanes (although not marked) to two
lanes just before Haverstick. Suggest keeping this configuration into the proposed
round-about then becoming a Secondary Parkway (cf/entry into round-about at
Westfield). The 96th Street extension may not have adequate ROW for a median but
would continue perhaps as a Residential Parkway.
Westfield Blvd.
(p.63) shows Westfield Blvd. as an Urban Arterial. This should be changed south of
116th when it changes from Rangeline Road to Westfield Blvd. Not sure what category it
fall under until 99th St. when it become a Secondary Parkway.
Speed limit needs to be lowered from 99th St. to 30mph (or 35mph max) for safety
reasons transitioning into the 15mph zone consistent with 96th St.
(Lighting needs to be check to see if working.)
Multi-Paths / Bike Paths / Sidewalks
Bike path crossing needs to be added across 98th St. with flashing lights. (Path from
Aramore will connect here as well as future paths along the east side of Westfield.) The
crossing at the round-about is unsafe giving the number of accidents occurring and the
number and variable vehicle traffic.
(Walking across is hard enough!)
Need signage to indicate connection route to Monon.
At present, there doesn’t seem to be bike routes (or multi-paths) planned for this area.
Aramore plans to connect Chesterton with a path through the ROW. Haverstick needs a
bike path on the east side connecting with Lakewood Gardens sidewalks and then again
across 98th St. to Hope Church where paths or sidewalks should be installed along east
and south edges.
Path along 96th Street (to be constructed) as part of road improvement.
Path on west side of Lincoln between 96th St. and 98th St. (Aramore path)
(Could be done as part of the sewer project to run down Lincoln?)
