Thoroughfare Plan
In recent years, Whitestown has been the fastest growing community in Indiana. Since its previous thoroughfare plan was developed prior to this rapid growth, HWC was retained to prepare a thoroughfare plan that would accommodate forecasted growth. The plan’s first priority established access management and land use plans for the 146th Street extension from Hamilton County and the Ronald Reagan Parkway extension from Hendricks County. The plan also took into consideration a number of other concurrent planning efforts both within Whitestown and in surrounding communities.

Dearborn County Strategic Action Plan R1.0
Transportation challenges and other obstacles limited Dearborn County’s growth despite its location in the greater Cincinnati metropolitan area. Building on its previous experience leading local and regional planning efforts, HWC was tasked with developing a strategic plan to help Dearborn County communities reach their full potential. The county-wide Strategic Action Plan established eight economic development priorities. This innovative planning process utilized individual community plans as the foundation for the Strategic Action Plan. This enabled HWC to quickly identify common concerns and propose strategies that capitalized on the communities’ shared opportunities.

Seashore Water Park
HWC led the renovation of Seashore Waterpark from conception through construction. Beginning with a public survey and existing conditions study, concepts were developed, reviewed, and finalized alongside the parks department and an engaged steering committee. A major aquatics renovation, this project was implemented in two phases. Key features include an activity pool with toy structure, water slides, wave pool, current channel with vortex, and water walk. Sunbathing lawns and shade structure components complete the design. The city has also retained HWC Engineering to lead design efforts for an expansion of the facility.

US 50 HHA Overlay, INDOT Seymour District
HWC was selected to provide design services for the US 50 HMA Overlay project under the INDOT On Call contract in the INDOT Seymour District. HWC extended the functional life of the asphalt overlay by addressing cracks at joint deterioration and longitudinal cracks by construction of partial and full depth patching of the underlying concrete pavement and application of a 2” mill/fill of the asphalt overlay.
HWC also brought the curb ramps to current ADA standards, as well as updated the nine existing traffic signals to have APS devices installed where applicable.

SR 66/Rexing Road Intersection Improvements
HWC provided roadway design, erosion control permitting, IDEM water permits, small structure design, right-of-way plan development, and public hearing coordination services.
HWC worked with INDOT to develop a solution to keep SR 66 open during construction by utilizing temporary portable traffic signals during the phased construction of the box culvert and a multi-phased plan for the reconstruction of the intersection.
Project let in April 2018 at a cost of $1,300,000, which was 5% below the engineer’s estimate.
