Matt Owen—No Comments
Scott Hawkins asked about the signal that is going in east of the round-a-bout. The signal will be installed
and controlled by INDOT, can we request this same type of cantilevered signal pole. Mr. Crouch advised
that INDOT likes to have all of their equipment standardized for easy repair and replacement. We will
most likely not be able to get them to upgrade the signal poles for intersections they will maintain. Mr.
Crouch advised he would make the request.
Mr. Hawkins also requested that Zoning Commission stick to their guns the parking plan in regards to the
residential projects surrounding the Big Four Station. The area really needs the parking that comes along
with the projects.
