Mr. Miller from HNTB discussed the transportation plan Work an the plan began in May of 2006 and ended in December of 2006. The steering committee had twenty three members with five meetings. Just because a route is in the plan doesn't mean it will happen. The Plan Commission was really interested in Highway 267 and routing it out of Mooresville on North Indiana Street. Mr. Miller stated environmental issues will probably keep 267 from going over to 67 closer to Plainfield, but maybe it could happen on County, Line Raad, studies would have to be completed. Right of way needs were identified, not taking from existing residences, but from new developments. The Plan Commission wanted to prioritize projects. 1VIr. Miller said goals not projects should be prioritized. Another way suggested was to bring 267 down south of Mooresville. Joe Beikman, Street Department, was satisfied with the definitions of streets and right of way as far as stone water and rule 13. To approve this plan is to adopt as a part of zoning ordinance and change to include right of ways. The Flan Commission would be doing this separately with public hearings. Councilman Shields asked if they risked having the plan put on a back burner and saying 267 is a priority. Mr. Miller said he would rewrite the whole page to say #267 and #42 as tap priority and other projects as other priority projects. Councilman Shields said this was basically getting him where he wanted to be. He did not want a lot of issues to not get funded just because of the Plan. Commission's main concern. Attorney Currens asked Mr. Miller if state and federal funding should be mentioned. Mr. 1Vliller answered, yes. Council President Worthen wants page 41 to go ahead with priority projects and move three dawn into another title to get rid of wording. Mr. Miller said he would group 2nd and 3rd tier together as other concerns and not necessarily in any order. Councilman Shields agreed. Mr. Miller thought having.#267 and #42 projects would solve Indiana Street and Indianapolis Road.
