Yes, they are keeping SSL on 11th St which required widening the street and demolishing quite a few homes. Not a great decision especially since Michigan City already has so much vacancy and empty lots. However, there is a pretty nice TOD proposal planned right at the new SSL station, separate from the hotel-focused plan shown above.

The hotel proposal is right next to the Amtrak station on the other end of downtown, but they just quietly closed that station a few months ago. Apparently Michigan City is not as important as places like Naperville, Glenview or Joliet that have both commuter rail and Amtrak service... they said only a few people use that station each day, but could it be because they sold off the stationhouse years ago and now riders have to wait in a single shitty bus shelter?
