	this route has seen a dramatic increase in ~~thhrough~~ traffic from I-74 to I-65 for interstate trucks and other travelers connecting to the north side of Indianapolis which is a vital region in the local economy. Additionally higher commuter traffic from Crawfordsville to Lebanon, Carmel, Fishers and the Indianapolis northside has added to this increased traffic. the current facility is only 2 lanes wide and lacks safety features necessary to handle the current volume of traffic that uses the corridor such as dedicated turn lanes at major intersections, passing lanes and widened shoulders. These can be added but it is much safer and more economically viable to construct a new facilty with interstate standards instead. This project would have the following economic benefits: Increased interstate traffic through and to the region, better access to the interstate for area businesses and commuters. Remove excess traffic from alternate or less safe routes, and better connection from Crawfordsvilel and I-74 to Indianapolis and Lebanon.		this route has seen a dramatic increase in through traffic from I-74 to I-65 for interstate trucks and other travelers connecting to the north side of Indianapolis which is a vital region in the local economy.

			This would continue the above project with a bypass connecting the freeway to I 65 and around Lebanon to connect to existing SR-32 2 miles east of Lebanon The ultimate routing of this bypass has not been determined.

			====Upgrade and Operational Improvements (in lieu of bypass)====
			Routing through and east of Lebanon on new terrain may be becoming increasingly difficult as new development is taking up land that could be used as a potential location for a new route bypass. It is entirely likely that a freeway route for SR-32 from Lebanon to Noblesville is unlikely due to this development and a new route should be considered several miles to the north where land is less developed. Instead the roadway should be widened to 4 lanes wide (2-2 configuration with center median) or 5 lanes wide (2-1-2 configuration with continuous two-way left turn lane). along the routing from Lebanon through westfield to the west side of Noblesville. Some of this widening is already underway in Westfield and Noblesville to the east of US-31. Widening to the west of US-31 beyond Springmill Rd will prove problematic due to the corridor constrictions around the villages of Eagletown and Jolietville. Also widening the route through the city of Lebanon would be nearly impossible unless the highway is rerouted around the city.

	Should a new terrain route be considered the new route would likely need to be built some 4-6 miles north of the existing SR-32 corridor and would likely carry a different route number such as SR-47 or SR-38 or other route number to be determined. This more logically would address long term traffic considerations for travel along the north side of the metro area than would considering a 32 upgrade. Making this route part of SR-32 may be impractical since it would cause the 32 routing west of I-65 to make a significant jog to the north in order to connect to 32 as it heads westward to Crawfordsville. It remains to be seen what INDOT will do following the CISTMS traffic study and it proposals to inprove highways around the metro area. this northern bypass would loop to the southeast once it passes north of Noblesville and connect to I-69 near Pendleton		Should a new terrain route be considered the new route would likely need to be built some 4-6 miles north of the existing SR-32 corridor and would likely carry a different route number such as SR-47 or SR-38 or other route number to be determined.

	This would continue the above project with a bypass connecting the freeway to I 65 and around Lebanon to connect to existing SR-32 2 miles east of Lebanon The ultimate routing of this bypass has not been determined.

	Should a new terrain route be considered the new route would likely need to be built some 4-6 miles north of the existing SR-32 corridor and would likely carry a different route number such as SR-47 or SR-38 or other route number to be determined. This more logically would address long term traffic considerations for travel along the north side of the metro area than would considering a 32 upgrade. Making this route part of SR-32 may be impractical since it would cause the 32 routing west of I-65 to make a significant jog to the north in order to connect to 32 as it heads westward to Crawfordsville. It remains to be seen what INDOT will do following the CISTMS traffic study and it proposals to inprove highways around the metro area.
