Dayton Street The Board was informed .that Mrs. Garnet Horner had called and asked for a continuance of two weeks because a settlement had not been made with the insurance company and it would take at least `two `weeks before settle- ment could be made. After discussion, it was decided that Mr. Liszewski could advertise for bids for the demolition of the structure at 125 East Dayton Street, and before bids could be awarded settlement should be made. This was done upon motion made, seconded and carried. 910 West Washington Street Mrs. Ruth Price, representing Southhold Restorations, Inc., appeared before the Board to ask that the structure at 910 West Washington Street not be demolished at this time. She stated this structure is within the Model Cities Neighborhood and there is a way it could be rehabilita- ted under Government Project 235-J. Mrs. Price presented a personal check in the amount of $25.00 to go to the Demolition' Contractor if the house is not demolished, inasmuch as bids have been received and a bid awarded. Mr: Liszewski was instructed by the Board to contact the demolition company ,Who holds the award and instruct him to hold up demolition pending notifi- cation of the Board. During this pendancy, the house must be boarded up. This matter has been continued until the next Board Meeting. DIAGONAL PARKING - MR. & MRS. MOO Mr. William Richardson, City Engineer, presented the following letter: February 10, 1972 Mr. & Mrs. Robert Moo 3101 Lincoln Way West South Bend, Indiana Subject: Your letter February 4, 1972 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Moo: The City of South Bend has programmed the intersections of Bendix Drive and Lincolnway West; Ardmore Trail and Lincolnway West; and Ardmore Trail and Bendix Drive for improvements under the TOPICS program. The preliminary drawings have been completed and the consulting engineer has been instructed to make the final drawings for this improvement. Upon the completion of the final drawings, we will be in contact with yourselves and the other property owners in the general vicinity that are going to be affected by this improvement. Athat time, we will be able to show you exactly the type of construction and the limits of construction that are going to take place. The problem that comes in is that the City will need the parkway area which is now being used for diagonal parking, as additional traffic lanes on Lincolnway. Whether paralle 1 parking will be allowed at this location has not been determined yet, but I am assuming that even the parallel parking will be removed from this area.
