SR235 Corridor Management Study

Project Description

The SR235 Corridor Management Study will examine ways to improve the transportation infrastructure for the 235 corridor from US Route 40 to the north and the Clark/Greene county line, just past Gerlaugh Rd, to the South.  These improvements may include access management along the corridor, bicycle and pedestrian use, streetscape improvements, economic development opportunities, and safety improvements.  The first open house was held in September 2011 and gave citizens the opportunity to give initial input on the corridor.  The upcoming open house will give citizens the opportunity to react to some proposed improvements that have been developed through continued cooperation with study stakeholders.  Proposed improvements will attempt to address all of the factors mentioned above.
