Jefferson Boulevard, stated, We also own 1042 and 1035 West <br /> Jefferson Boulevard. The home owner near the alley has written in support of this proposal. If <br /> this were to get approved,there are nearby north/south rights-of-way six hundred(600) feet west <br /> and east of the alley, so no one really needs it as a drive through. She then expanded upon details <br /> with supporting pictures from the presentation (available in the Office of the City Clerk). She <br /> continued, The Engineering Department has signed off on this proposal as well. We plan to <br /> move the foundation of our house over to the lot next door, and create a lifted-bed garden on the <br /> old parcel. We have planted twenty-two (22)trees and have beautified the area to create a park <br /> area for the local kids in the neighborhood. A long-term goal of ours is to create pedestrian <br /> walking access to the Civil Rights Heritage Center. Right now,the alley has no traffic <br /> indications and it is very dangerous for children to be crossing the alley. Also, the telephone pole <br /> is at the end of the alley and we've spoken to the company, the vacation will not limit their <br /> access. <br /> 455 County-City Building•227 W.Jefferson Boulevard•South Bend,Indiana 46601 <br /> Phone 574-235-9221 •Fax 574-235-9173•TDD 574-235-5567•www.SouthBend[N.gov <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN ALKEYNA M.ALDRIDGE JOSEPH MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> OPERATIONS <br />
