Summary: A private resident opposes the Mid-States Corridor Project, arguing that it is unnecessary given existing interstate connections. The commenter highlights concerns regarding the loss of farmland, the disruption of local traffic patterns, and the negative impact on residential neighborhoods and local businesses.
No to the Mid-State-Corridor. We have I 65 connecting Louisville to Indianapolis and I 69 connecting Evansville to Indianapolis. Running a limited access 4 lane road through the land of small towns and corn fields between I 69 and I 70 is not needed and certainly not wanted because of all the county roads it will cut across causing local traffic to travel to the nearest j hook crossing to get across this 4 lane. Of course then there's the amount of farm land lost and the calisnus of INDOT cutting through farms putting some out of business and others forever dealing with farming both sides spending more money to farm less land.....then there's the impact of taking homes and leaving homes to close for comfort next to a 4 lane and separating neighborhoods with a dangerous 4 lane road.......it will have little impact on traffic in the towns that 231 runs through because all business schools and residential areas are on or just a few minutes off of 231. .... Mid-State-Corridor will only saves a few minutes for the few people going to Indianapolis from these rural areas...... just not needed.
