Public Notice (Des. No. 2301077)

Public Notice (Des. No. 2301077) The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is planning to undertake an intersection improvement project, funded in part by the Federal Highway Administration. The project is located at the intersection of SR 38 and Prairie Baptist Road in Wayne Township, Hamilton County, Indiana. Under the preferred alternative, the proposed project would involve replacing the existing four-way stop with a single-lane roundabout (RAB). The RAB will feature raised splitter islands, deflection curves to slow traffic, and improved signage. The preferred alternative also includes improved intersection geometry, stormwater drainage improvements, and adjustments to utility lines. The project will require the acquisition of 4.58 acres of right-of-way from adjacent properties; no relocations are proposed. The proposed action does not impact properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The INDOT, on behalf of the FHWA, has issued a "No Historic Properties Affected" finding for the project due to the fact that no historic properties are present within the Area of Potential Effects (APE). In accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act, the views of the public are being sought regarding the effect of the proposed project on the historic elements as per 36 CFR 800.2(d), 800.3(e) and 800.6(a)(4). Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1), the documentation specified in 36 CFR 800. 11(d) is available for inspection in the offices of Michael Baker International Inc. Additionally, this documentation can be viewed electronically by accessing INDOT's Section 106 document posting website IN SCOPE at http://erms12c.indot.in.gov/Section106Documents. This documentation serves as the basis for the "No Historic Properties Affected" finding. The views of the public on this effect finding are being sought. Please reply with any comments to Katherine Molnar, Michael Baker International, Inc., 3815 River Crossing Parkway, Suite 300, Indianapolis, IN 46240, or at Katherine.molnar@mbakerintl.com. no later than April 5, 2026.
