| Abstract | Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore ("the Lakeshore") is a significant regional destination along southern Lake Michigan. The Lakeshore manages scenic, fragile dunes and other ecosystems within its jurisdiction. The Lakeshore’s transportation system supports access to not only its resources but also a number of gateway communities. This summary of existing transportation-related conditions provides an overview of multimodal access to and within the Lakeshore. The issues and concerns explored at the end of this document provide a framework for potential projects that can be implemented in the short term to address transportation issues. Key concerns at the Lakeshore include: (1) congestion and traffic safety; (2) parking lot capacity; (3) trail connections; (4) bicycle and pedestrian connections from rail to lake; and (5) underutilization of alternative modes. |
