A plan to close Furnessville Road for a rerouted Calumet Trail has neighbors concerned about driving safely elsewhere, and they told officials as much during a Tuesday meeting about the plan.
They would rather be able to drive north to U.S. 12 than go south to U.S. 20. “I have sat at Highway 20 for five to 10 minutes before I could even make a right hand turn,” one resident said.Traffic on U.S. 20 typically is much faster than the posted 55 mph speed limit, residents said.
Porter County and the National Park Service are proposing to reconfigure the trail to remove it from NIPSCO’s property so the trail won’t have to be repaved whenever NIPSCO works on the pipeline under the existing trail. The new trail, part of the Marquette Greenway, will route users though some of the most scenic areas in Indiana Dunes National Park. The Marquette Greenway, stretching from Illinois to Michigan, “is about a $110 million regional investment,” Wilkinson said. “It’s something we’ve wanted now for more than 40 years,” he said.
A bike rider at Tuesday’s public hearing at the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center told of his tire popping off because of large gravel NIPSCO used on the trail. He acknowledged the existing muddy conditions. “I rode the Calumet Trail a lot,” he said. “You had a brown stripe on your back when you were done.”David Hawk, who lives on Veden Road near Furnessville Road, has been hiking through that area for decades.
