Outer Drive Plan Aims for Three State Highway Rail
The Little Calumet river valley landowners pledge 12 miles of 200 foot right of way from Indiana to Illinois for a Milwaukee to Michigan City route via Gary and Hammond. Local banks offer to act as trustees for land deeds, with sectors to be studied and engineers to draft land descriptions. Route begins near the river line and crosses to Gary to avoid new subdivisions, driven by Burns ditch drainage and growing subdivision demand.
