Why can’t they relocate?
Tell us you know nothing about retail business without telling us you know nothing about retail business.
Dominic +1. They also don’t appear to know anything about real estate.
We love Wilson’s and regularly make the trip up from Carmel for their fried chicken, pretzel bread, pies and a half dozen other items. That said, the intersection is an accident waiting to happen…if ones haven’t already. Going 60mph northbound and then slowing down to near zero to make a right-hand turn, I’m always afraid someone behind won’t be paying attention and plow into me. And, crossing the two northbound lanes, waiting in the center to turn southbound on the way home is like playing a game of frogger. Eventually someone will be killed or seriously injured. I truly feel bad for the Wilsons and will continue to support them but in this instance (and perhaps with other businesses that line US 31, too), I wouldn’t frame what’s being done as “progress” but as making it safer for their customers and traveller, alike.
…and yet the business has been there since 1968.
@Dominic M. The population of Hamilton County went from 50,000 to 350,000 between 1970 and present day. Traffic has drastically increased as development spreads further north.
60mph… more like 75+mph. More people are driving 31 like 465 everyday.
It would be much better to just have a fast and frequent train between Indy & the South Shore Line. It would alleviate traffic on I65 and US31.
People will not give up their cars to take a train. How would they stop and support Wilson’s (or any other business) along the way?
Not, it wouldn’t.
It would alleviate unnecessary commuter traffic, thus reducing the need to continuously expand and widen roads.
I went to up South Bend and Michigan City yesterday. I would’ve killed to have been able to take a train.
And nobody would’ve been forced out of their cars. That’s a silly myth. If you still want to drive, just drive.
there is barely enough support to get a train to chicago. you and 4 other people might use a train to SB. I love the idea but the taxpayers don’t need subsidize anything else.
I would say also part of the money the state spends on subsidizing trucking with thousands of miles of multilane Interstate highways should be funneled toward making the freight rail system more efficient so there are less trucks, less road expansion, and less maintenance.
I know the US has always kept rail as private property, but the rest of the world has woken up to the fact that capitalism doesn’t always allocate resources in the most efficient manner.
This is the HamCo Machine funding itself and gladhanding contracts for unnecessary projects that won’t be completed in a timely fashion or done in a quality manner. The same “decision makers” are responsible for Allisonville & 146, Hwy 37, and soon — Hazel Dell & 146. The both 236th and 266th st flyovers have been under construction for 2 years with no sign of being close to being done. Complicated projects that are never completed on budget, on time, on original specification, or with any degree of long term quality.
I would wager that the targe of 256th street has more to do with not paying fealty to The Machine and not truly based on public safety.
This is a state project not city or county
I will follow Wilson’s wherever it moves. It is a must-stop whenever we drive up to South Bend snd back. That will not change.
And complicated projects often do require additional time. Inflation and supply chain issues have affected construction throughout the nation. Certainly, Hamilton County projects do not experience delays and cost changes to an extent significantly different that other localities. So how long should a project last? And if one checks with that county and state and construction managers, has a satisfactory explanation for the cause time and cost increases been provided? Have project documents regarding justification, analysis, and cost estimates been reviewed? Innuendo and suppositions do not reflect reality. However, the public input process is key; and interested parties have the right to be heard and for due process — and should continue in the quest to keep access to 256th.
Progress requires sacrifice. Hopefully the appraisal (call it what you want) comes in higher than expected. I have a friend that lost her home via eminent domain for the 465/I69 connection. The city bought about 12 properties. She received nearly 3x what the market value was for the house. Her moving expenses were also covered. She won the lottery tax free.
A property has a set value. A business on the property? That’s not given the same kind of value. It’s not “winning the lottery” to lose your family’s multigenerational livelihood, no matter how much they pay for it.
