From The News Dispatch:
The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District has started reaching out to consultants to begin a $1 million study of potential South Shore Line routes.
NICTD spokesman John Parsons said Thursday he hopes NICTD and the city will have a consultant selected by the end of March to study four routes through town.

According to the scope of services described in the request for proposals, the city and NICTD want the study to result in a recommended, preferred alignment.The study will consider four routes: two northerly routes, a new 10th-and-11th Street route and a southerly route.
. . .
The request for proposals states consultants should be able to deliver: a description of each alternative, a report evaluating the alternatives, an alternative analysis report that includes a preferred alignment, a document identifying next steps for the project and descriptions of public outreach.
