To Rethink 65/70 Coalition Supporters ---February 13, 2020
TODAY WE ARE ABLE to announce a major step toward getting a serious, objective study of the best options for the reconstruction of the downtown I-65/I-70 Inner Loop, aside from the North Split.

Announced in September, INDOT's current plan--Alternative 4c--will reduce the height of retaining walls and doesn't call for additional through-lanes, but it still doesn't go far enough to specifically increase connectivity between neighborhoods and areas of commerce divided by the interstate, or increase opportunities for inclusive economic development along the path of the interstate. We do applaud INDOT for modifying a portion of their plans due to community voices.
Kia Gillete, Environmental Project Manager, HNTB Corporation
Dear Ms. Gillete:
I appreciate INDOT's willingness to listen to community concerns and conduct a system-wide analysis of the Downtown Indianapolis interstate system. The seven concepts studied give us a sense of what's possible, based on traffic performance, cost, visual and connectivity impacts, and construction timeline.
