4 thoughts on “City considers building $72M road in Decatur Township

  1. It’s pointless to do this project without also widening the existing Southport Road to four lanes across White River to the forthcoming I-69 interchange. (If that is part of the proposal, the story doesn’t say.)

  2. No new roads.

    I would rather see this money raised for the repair and maintenance of existing infrastructure. This new road, out in the fringes of the county, will only add to the burden of maintenance we face when it falls into disrepair in 30 years. Even with some additional tax revenue from new development that *may* happen (and would possibly have happened elsewhere in the city anyway), it will not cover the cost of building the road and it definitely won’t cover the cost of its maintenance.

    This is not a financially sound investment. I would love to see detailed numbers to prove that anyone has done the forecasting to show otherwise.

  3. New terrain Southport Road is likely to face significant opposition from several subdivisions that border the proposed ROW. Have the designers considered upgrading Mills Road and Mann Road instead?

  4. why are we about to waste 72 million on a useless road when we had to dip into the rainy day fund to help pay for road repair last year?

    did indy win the lottery?
