Comprehensive Plan Town of Munster, IN

As part of the new Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Munster, GINKGO is developing a detailed Master Plan for anew 200 acre T.O.D. around a proposed train station. Working closely with town officials, landowners, NICTD, and other regional agencies, the master plan is creating a long term framework that can be built over time. The mixed use master plan will create a new walkable downtown for the town, with public squares, regional trails and a variety of land uses. In addition GINKGO will develop a detailed corridor plan for Calumet Avenue looking at specific transportation improvements along the corridor, including new overpasses and underpasses and bike trail and pedestrian connections.
