The Indiana Department of Transportation wants to know what you think about the results of a new study on how it should modernize the city’s inner loop.

The study used comments collected at public meetings in Indianapolis last year as part of the agency’s ProPEL Indy program to evaluate transportation needs along I-65 and I-70 inside the I-465 loop.

The results of the study will be discussed at four meetings throughout September. Attendees will have a chance to ask questions and provide comments about the report.

Here are the meeting dates:

John Boner Neighborhood Center

🗓️ 5-7 p.m. Sept. 11
📍 2236 E. 10th St.

International District Community Center

🗓️ 5-7 p.m. Sept. 15
📍 3540 Commercial Drive

Indianapolis Public Library – West Indianapolis Branch

🗓️ 5-7 p.m. Sept. 23
📍 1216 Kappes St.

Ivy Tech Community College Culinary and Conference Center

🗓️ 5-7 p.m. Sept. 25
