CITY of SOUTH SEND ® ��� • � <br />ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor � • 2 <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING • SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 Y <br />DIVISION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />MARZY T. BAUER <br />Director <br />STEVEN F. COMPTON <br />Deputy Director <br />W113WRi; <br />TO: Members of the Common Council <br />FROM: Marzy Bauer _"�Y <br />SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Grant Submittal <br />DATE: April 9, 1980 <br />1440 County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />(219) 284 -9335 <br />On April 9, 1980, the City of South Bend, acting through the Division of <br />Community Development, submitted a preliminary application for bicycle <br />parking facilities to the Michiana Area Council of Governments ( MACOG). <br />Contingent upon Council approval, the City will submit a final application <br />through MACOG and the State Highway Administration to the regional office <br />of the Department of Transportation by May 1, 1980. <br />As you know, South Bend has aggressively and successfully competed for <br />federal assistance to aid in its improvement, and that the Community <br />Development Program has specifically sought to improve South Bend's central <br />business district (CBD) and the quality -of -life in our inner -city neighbor- <br />hoods. <br />The purpose of the "Bicycle Grant Program" is to locate and install bicycle <br />parking facilities which will: encourage safe, secure and easy access to <br />the CBD; create interfaces between bicycle and bus travel; and increase <br />the mobility of our low and moderate income families. <br />I believe that the "Bicycle Grant Program" offers South Bend an excellent <br />opportunity to initiate research into alternative modes of transportation <br />for the benefit of our inner -city families. <br />I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the grant application with the <br />Common Council. Should you require additional information or have further <br />questions, please contact me. I look forward to your favorable considera- <br />tion of the attached resolution. <br />MB /pain <br />Attachment <br />cc: Steven Compton <br />
