Traffic study to investigate
expansion possibilities
From Staff Reports
Within the next two to three months, a traffic
study will be conducted in order to make changes in compliance with
the expansion of West Lafayette's City Hall.
The study will look at the possible relocation
of Navajo Street and the possible expansion of City Hall's parking lot.
There is also the possibility that a new street will be added that could
connect Navajo Street to State Road 52.
"This could be the solution to improving traffic
flow," said Steven Hardesty, branch manager of Bernardin—Lochmueller
and Associates, Inc., the company that will conduct the study.
Hardesty said that there is heavy traffic congestion
on Salisbury Street and along State Road 52. He said the traffic study
might help to improve the congestion as well as the difficulty of entering
and exiting business along State Road 52.
Josh Andrew, director of West Lafayette's Department
of Development said that the cost of the study was estimated at $64,000
at the West Lafayette Board of Works meeting on Tuesday.
