Marquette Plan Phase II
and
Porter County Transportation Corridor Plan
In recognition of
the importance of Lake Michigan as an asset for
development and redevelopment, and as an
unparalleled opportunity and challenge, NIRPC
conducted a Feasibility Study for Marquette Plan
Phase II extension and identified a different
set of issues for the shoreline from the Port of
Indiana to the Michigan border. It identified
the need for broad stakeholder involvement and a
desire by communities to engage in the Marquette
Plan Phase II visioning process in an effort to create a
comprehensive land use vision. Officially the
project is an extension, or Phase II, of The
Marquette Plan: The Lakeshore Reinvestment
Strategy (2005). NIRPC also identified the need
to
enhance the region’s economic future by
providing a stand alone plan, the Porter County
Transportation Corridor Plan, for the future
development of US 12 & 20.
Currently, NIRPC is working with a team of
consultants (JJR, SEH, Cambridge Systematics,
and JF NEW) to develop a regional comprehensive
land use vision and a plan for US 12&20 for a
select group of communities within the study
area in Indiana’s Lake Michigan drainage
basin.
The Marquette
Visioning Plan
Phase II
is a regional visioning strategy that creates a
comprehensive land use vision for the Lake
Michigan drainage basin and a strategy for
implementation of that vision. The visioning
plan will provide for the needs of the coastal
communities and their collectively identified
issues.
The Porter County Transportation Corridor
Plan will evaluate the existing
transportation condition, land uses, and the
existing land use plans and develop a land
use/ transportation plan for US-12 and US-20 and
its surrounding areas.
The Porter County Transportation Corridor Plan
will function as a stand alone project, but it
will become part of the Marquette Plan Phase II
Lakeshore Redevelopment Framework Plan for the
areas in Porter and La Porte Counties.
