Can someone explain: if 236th St. is SR47, why isn’t the State funding the safety improvement/widening of the road?
Then, can some county commissioner explain how the County contributing significantly to the “local match” for SR37 rebuild in Fishers is any different? (In view of the claim that it isn’t fair to taxpayers in Fishers and Noblesville for the County to contribute to Sheridan SR47 project?)
C’mon Commissioners…get over your petty feud with Sheridan folks and be leaders for the whole county.
I’ve read that INDOT has a cap of the miles of road it can maintain. So at times, they do try to pass roads onto local governments. Keystone north of 96th was a INDOT maintained road until Carmel took it over in 2007.
In looking at the INDOT maps, it appears SR 47 terminates where it meets SR38, which would lead me to think that the proposed project that the IBJ article is talking about is a county-owned and maintained road. To back this up further, you can see a previous INDOT project for SR 47 just east of this area on their website (second link below)
As to your question to the county commissioners about why they aren’t contributing to this project rather than other projects in the County, I think Commissioner Heirbandt’s quote about the county weighing a project’s beneficial use to all county residents is one of their key deciding factors when determining whether to provide county funding or not.
INDOT Map: https://www.in.gov/indot/files/Greenfield-Distict-RP-map2025.pdf
INDOT SR47 Project: https://www.in.gov/indot/about-indot/central-office/welcome-to-the-greenfield-district/sr-38-and-sr-47-improvements-within-the-town-of-sheridan/
The map is incorrect labelling 236th east of Sheridan as SR-47. After entering from the west, SR-47 terminates at the the SR-38 intersection. I don’t know historically if SR-47 extended further east, but it has not in the 15 years I have lived in central Indiana.
The funding situation is similar to Town of Winfield up in Lake Co. Town was established in the early-’90s to ward off possible annexation by Merrillville, but didn’t have means to handle road maintenance, including plowing, in the area of township it annexed and still barely can. That was with an interlocal for assistance from the county.
because the state doesn’t fund roads in and around Marion County and the surrounding counties…that would not comport with the state’s goals of only spending money making certain rural county roads are in great shape, and ignoring the roads in the heavily populated counties. Even in Hamilton County, which votes Republican. Which maybe makes some wonder why Hamilton County votes Republican, if Republicans at the state legislature won’t help support them…
I realize that the county is angry over the Sheridan consolidation. But the right long term move is for the county to take responsibility for 236th St. as a cross-county corridor (perhaps excepting downtown Cicero), the same way it has for 146th St. This is the next major cross-county arterial north of SR 32. As with 146th, the county can leverage taking over responsibility with planning commitments that ensures development along the road is appropriate and doesn’t result in something like the state of Rockville Road in Avon.
The long term challenge is the constraint at Morse Reservoir and Cicero, where the county and town will have to do some long term planning.
This (County should take responsibility for 236th) is especially true since the State put an interchange with US31 at 236th, and the County put in a sewer and water utility to serve the area. Pulling the funding back was a childish maneuver.
146th is a cross-county corridor because it is a county line road. 236th is not.
146th is not a county line.
Both 146th and 236th run all the way across Hamilton County west to east.
I don’t understand how The Commissioners think that the North-South road serving this development is important enough on a county level to get involved with funding improvements, but the East-West road serving it isn’t.
Wasn’t some of the reasoning behind Sheridan’s merger with Adams TWP to get away from annexation by “big, bad Westfield?” Funny how things can have unintended consequences.
This merger was not well thought out or planned. Sheridan doesn’t have the financial resources to make it work. It will be a beggar town for some time to come.
