Event Description/Abstract
The US 231 relocation study capstone provides an opportunity to take a “soft” look back on the evolution of the planning, environmental assessment, design and ultimate construction of this important project in West Lafayette. What is a Capstone? INDOT used the US 231 relocation project as an opportunity to explore the value of using different approaches to the project development process including more robust coordination with the MPO, Purdue University, employing the first community impact assessment (CIA), developing context sensitive solutions and full engagement of a Community Advisory Committee. In this session we will evaluate how the project was developed after the completion of the environmental assessment and CIA work, what transpired during the design and land acquisition processes and ultimately how the commitments made during the study process came to be once the project was completed.
