Summary

Before the Secretary acquires land or land rights in Unit VII–D, the Secretary must talk with the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation to find out what land the State needs for 15th Avenue improvements (including the Old Hobart Road extension) and for rebuilding and moving the 15th Avenue and State Road 51 intersection so the federal purchase will not block those planned projects. Before the Secretary acquires land or land rights in Unit I–M, the Secretary must talk with the same Commissioner to find out what land the State needs for State Road 49 improvements and for rebuilding and moving the State Road 49 and U.S. 20 interchange so the federal purchase will not block those planned projects.
