The application for the Indian Trail Corridor sets up the issue for why they are applying for an LCI grant.

The Bypass Alternatives Study examines Copeland Street and Hood Street as two corridors... The Bypass Alternatives Study examines Copeland Street and Hood Street as two corridors offering bypass potential to improve mobility and connectivity. The objectives of the Study are: To provide a solution to alleviate traffic congestion in McDonough’s Downtown Square and to minimize its role as a “commuter” thruway; To determine the best alternative for alignment and connectivity to accomplish improved vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle safety and mobility; and To serve as a catalyst for future City LCI implementation efforts related to this critical high priority transportation need. Based on the analysis, the Study recommends Copeland Street as the bypass alternative choice. Factors supporting this recommendation are: Copeland Street extension would affect fewer parcels of private land, fewer older, possibly historic structures, and would minimize disruption to property owners, residents, and businesses; It would provide a lower cost solution, with lower right-of-way acquisition costs, fewer new intersections, and less linear feet of new roadway construction; A Copeland Street extension would improve safety along Atlanta Road and Lawrenceville Street and provide needed pedestrian and bicycle linkages between the northern residential neighborhoods, Alexander Park, and the Square; and The Copeland alternative offers the east/west connectivity to more efficiently serve the northern residential areas of McDonough.
