In view of th fact that the City of South Bend has now converted the 100 block of West Madison Street for eastpound movement only, it is necessa y to make a change in the established State highway truck route i this area. You recommend that the southbound truck route be routed westbound over Marion Street, thence south on Main Street to the present route. This adds two blocks of city streets to the established truck route. I have learned that our LaPorte District Office is recommending a change in our existing truck route resolution dated July 11, 1960, whereby these two additional city blocks 1;ill be added to the State truck route system. The northbound'_trucks will continue to turn off of 1.1ain Street eastbound on Madison Street to the present State highway, and southbound trucks will follow the one-way street pattern, on Marion Street, thence south on Main Street, and pick up the present truck route on Main Street at the Madison Street intersection. Our division of traffic will make this change by official action as soon as this recommendation is received. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that We Will comply With your request in the estab•tishment of this change in our existing truck route.
