Plainfield, IN
Thoroughfare Plan
As a result of rapid growth in the community and the resulting demands on its transportation network, there was a need to update Plainfield’s thoroughfare plan. HWC led detailed traffic modeling of all roadways in Plainfield and evaluated multiple development scenarios to identify transportation improvements that provided the greatest return on investment. The plan also evaluated the feasibility of a future Interstate 70 interchange west of SR 267.

Franklin, IN
Interstate 69 and King Street Corridor Plan
The primary gateway from Interstate 65 into Franklin was such an eyesore that local economic development officials brought prospective businesses to the city along local roads. HWC’s economic development plan recommended strategies to redevelop 420 acres at the interchange and to create a dynamic gateway experience into the community. Since these corridor improvements, the City of Franklin has attracted new restaurant, retail, and commercial investment totaling over $21 million.

Whitestown, IN
Thoroughfare Plan
In recent years, Whitestown has been the fastest growing community in Indiana. Since its previous thoroughfare plan was developed prior to this rapid growth, HWC was retained to prepare a thoroughfare plan that would accommodate forecasted growth. The plan’s first priority established access management and land use plans for the 146th Street extension from Hamilton County and the Ronald Reagan Parkway extension from Hendricks County. The plan also took into consideration a number of other concurrent planning efforts both within Whitestown and in surrounding communities.

Thoroughfare Plan
With Interstate 69 construction on the horizon, Morgan County needed to adapt and plan for the interstate’s impacts. To assist in this effort, HWC was retained to lead the county in updating its comprehensive plan and thoroughfare plan. The thoroughfare plan included roadway classification updates throughout the county reflecting differences in corridor access and traffic volumes. This planning effort also included the creation of an overlay district ordinance along the Interstate 69 corridor to establish land use and development standards.

KIPDA CR 311 Corridor Plan
In an effort to address increasing congestion and promote economic development, Clark County officials turned to HWC to develop a corridor study of County Road 311 between County Line Road and US 31. Funded by the Kentuckiana Regional Planning & Development Agency (KIPDA), HWC evaluated existing conditions along the corridor and made recommendations to mitigate traffic congestion, improve safety, address the logistical needs of the Transit Authority of River City (TARC), and incorporate strategies for improved bicycle and pedestrian access.
