Page 42 - Valparaiso, IN U.S. 30 Corridor Plan
P. 42
Adopted July 25, 2011
Perhaps the most needed public improvement in this section is a realignment of Silhavy
Road which is a combination north-south through-street and truncated service road.
The fact that Silhavy has no western outlet forces all through traffic onto Highway 30
and causes traffic back ups at the existing traffic signals at Highway 30. The City should
continue to examine ways to relieve this problem by either realigning Silhavy well to the
north of its current path so that it can tie directly in to Sturdy Road and/or to connect its
extreme western end to Sturdy Road via Warbler Drive. The latter should be part of any
redevelopment project(s) affecting the western end of the frontage road.
Right and below: New
development should
frame the intersection
at Sturdy Road creating
a formal entry to the VU
campus and the City.
