Mr. Maxey <br />stated that the proposed alley to be vacated is used more as a <br />thoroughfare than as an alley. He noted that because of the <br />River Park Branch of the South Bend Public Library and Indiana <br />University at South Bend traffic through the alley has increased <br />as individuals utilize the alley as a cut -through. <br />Mr. Maxey submitted to the Board a letter from Mr. and Mrs. <br />Charles Whetstone, 925 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, <br />owners of Lot #42, stating their support of the alley vacation. <br />Additionally, Mrs. Lucille Quirk, 926 South 21st Street, South <br />Bend, Indiana, owner of Lot #7, submitted to the Board a letter <br />indicating her support of the alley closing. In conclusion, Mr. <br />Maxey begged the Board's indulgence of this vacation petition. <br />Mr. Bradley Richards, 922 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, owner <br />of Lot 46, addressed the Board and stated that he has lived at <br />this address for only a few months but has observed that the <br />alley is used quite a bit by fast moving vehicles of students <br />leaving I.U.S.B. <br />Mr. Robert Furlong, 914 South 21st Street, South Bend, Indiana, <br />owner of Lot #4, advised the Board that he and his neighbor, Mrs. <br />Perry, have small children and are very concerned about their <br />safety due to the number of vehicles utilizing the alley at a <br />high rate of speed putting their children in danger. <br />Mr. Owen "Butch" Morgan, 730 Brookmede, South Bend, Indiana, <br />representing Indiana Michigan Power Company, 100 East Wayne <br />Street, South Bend, Indiana, submitted to the Board a letter <br />which he read and which states that I&M has extensive facilities <br />located in the proposed alleys to be vacated and that vacating <br />the alleys could cause a great deal of problems for residents and <br />businesses that are supplied power via these facilities. I&M has <br />eight (8) utility poles located in the alley, of which three (3) <br />are switching poles. Switching poles are used to divert power <br />from one circuit to another circuit.
