Summary

APC staff said it is updating MPO bylaws to add more local representation on the Technical Transportation Committee, and reviewed INDOT's 18-month letting list with projects affecting Tippecanoe County such as US 52 auxiliary lanes, North 9th Street phases and a North River Road pavement-marking safety project.

APC staff presented several informational items to the policy board on Nov. 13: a planned update to MPO bylaws and a summary of INDOT's 18-month letting list that includes multiple projects in Tippecanoe County.

Tim (APC staff) said the MPO bylaws need revision to reflect organizational changes that occurred when the administrative committee became the policy board and to add representation from smaller towns such as Dayton, Battleground and Clarks Hill. The update is a work in progress, Tim said, and will be reviewed by attorneys and by federal partners before the board sees a final proposal early next year.

Doug then reviewed INDOT's 18-month letting list. He said there are no district-level lettings this month but a lineup next month and in subsequent months. Highlights included additional auxiliary lanes on US 52 in the southeastern part of the county, the State Road 225 reconstruction, Lafayette's North 9th Street project (phase one of two) and a North 9th Street bridge-deck replacement, soil-nail repair on MSE wall failures, traffic-signal work including emergency-vehicle preemption west of the Wabash River, ITS traffic management projects, a Tippecanoe County North River Road pavement-marking project funded through INDOT safety funds, and districtwide raised pavement markings and signing repairs.

No public comments were received during the citizen-comment period. A board member proposed experimenting with Microsoft Teams instead of GoToMeeting for future virtual meetings; staff said they would email members to gauge preference.
