The National Park Service’s planned Dunesview improvements at Porter Beach
will be the subject of a June 28 open house at the Indiana Dunes Visitor
Center, 1215 N. State Road 49 in Porter.
Public input is being sought for preparation of a draft Environmental
Assessment and Traffic Improvement Plan for visitor-use upgrades at the
Wabash Avenue site.
The proposed project would be for redesigning the area at the Lake Michigan
terminus of Wabash Avenue to improve traffic flow, reduce the impact of
visitor traffic on residential areas, improve access for emergency vehicles,
and provide better visitor services at the beach.
The open house takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. and this format allows the
public to arrive any time during the event. A brief, 15-minute presentation
will be given at 6:30 p.m. to explain the plan’s purpose and need,
objectives, issues and the NPS planning process.
Park staff and contractors will be available June 28 to accept comments and
input for the development of the plan; informational displays about the plan
will be featured. For more information about the open house, contact
supervisory park ranger Bruce Rowe at 395-1609.
