Main trunk highway route urges northern Indiana link
City Engineer Harry M. Miles urges a main trunk highway through Gary East Chicago Hammond and Michigan City as the best cross state route. He proposes eliminating grade crossings along the Chicago road from Baillytown to the Lake Shore line and notes potential links to Michigan routes and the National Dune Park area. He compares population served by the two routes, claiming 162000 along the old Michigan and Chicago roads versus 30000 along the Lincoln highway corridor, arguing the former offers greater local benefit.
