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.
INDOT publicly unveiled six alternatives for reconstruction of I-65/I-70 as it holds a listening session for the community. Rough estimates for inclusion of each alternative as well as estimated time-savings on each alternative are also unveiled.
Listening to presentations by INDOT? Here's what you need to understand:
The grassroots movement to rethink I-65/I-70 has grown! The coalition has developed a dedicated website for a high level view and resources. There's an excellent FAQ (frequently asked questions) section for a quick summary at present. Be sure to check back for ongoing updates.

The I-65/I-70 North Split is being reconstructed in Downtown Indianapolis. INDOT has announced plans that will deeply impact historic neighborhoods and potentially harm our city's beauty, livability, and transport.
Historic Neighborhoods were pleased Marion County voters agreed that the Transit Plan needs to move forward. On February 27th the City County Council approved by a vote of 17-9 mass transit funding for the community. Mass transit passed November's referrendum by a 60+% margin, moved forward from the County's County's Rules and Policy Committee and rexeived final Council approval on Feb 27th. The Council authorized the full .25 cents for every $100 of Income option proposed by the November 2016 Referrendum.
