redbud, witch hazel, smooth sumac, winterberry, red elm or
various species of willow. Trees growing on moist former swamp
land are primarily sugar maple, beech, green ash, red oak.
tuliptree, black cherry, buckeye and hackberry. The drier
swamp land is covered by white oak, black oak and shagbark
hickory. Other vegetation that may be found on the least disturbed
land consists of Christmas fern, fragile rattlesnake
fern, spinilose wood fern, trilliums, jack-in-the-pulpit,
white baneberry, sweet cicely, bloodroot, spring beauty, hepatic,
bellworth, Dutchman's breeches, wild ginger, jewelweed, sneezeweed,
monkey flower, turtlehead ragweed, columbine and skunk
cabbage. On more distrubed land millet, sedges, rughes, asters,
goldenrod and blackberry or similar shrubs can be found.
Cattails, sedges, rushes, gray and red osier dogwoods, poison
sumac, trembling aspen, cinnamon and royal ferns, marsh marigolds,
bulk buttercress, arrowhead and cardinal flower can be
found in low lying areas near wetlands. The removal of natural
vegetation will further reduce the diminishing wildlife habitat
in the corridor study area. Erosion control methods will be
required at disturbed stream banks and various other locations.
Utilities
Among the responses in Appendix "A" is Indiana & Michigan
Electric Company's listing of conflicts between the proposed
corridor and their transmission lines. General Telephone
Company of Indiana provided a map locating their underground
conduit in the Study area. Copies of the map are available
from the Indiana State Highway Commission. Northern Indiana
Public Service Company mentioned in their response that projects
such as the one being considered usually involve conflicts with
their equipment. The Northern Indiana Fuel & Light Company
indicated on existing 6" gas line running along the north
edge of Union Chapel Road that would be affected by the proposed
highway. Close coordination before and during construction
will avoid disastrous conflicts.
Education Facilities
East Allen County Schools indicate that the construction of
a by-pass would disrupt their transportation routes and suggest
that the development of a by-pass be as far east of New Haven
as feasible. Fort Wayne Community Schools indicate that there
would be some impact created from a project of this sort, but
they feel that it would be nominal. Responses from these
agencies indicate that the proposed by-pass would encourage
planned growth in East Allen County, provide a more desirable
transportation system toimprove traffic flow and have a positive
impact on the entire community.
