ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: The Engineering Department reported a communication received from Whitcomb and Keller., regarding a reduction in the width of Mishawaka Avenge from Twyckenham Drive west to the Grand Trunk Railroad underpass, along Sunnymede Addition. An additional thirty (30) feet of roadway was provided when Sunnymede was platted, which is not deemed necessary now, because the lots facing Mishawaka Avenue are being utilized as residentual instead of commercial property as platted. After contacting representatives of the School'City, Park Department and the Traffic Engineer, the Engineering Department recommends that a new curb be installed along the edge of the existing pavement and in the same location as the original curb, and that the now existing curb be left in place; and that the planting of trees in the area between these two curb lines te prohibited. This recommendation is made to permit the widening of Mish&waka Avenue, if and when it is deemed necessary, without excessive expense and the removal of trees. Upon motionduly made and seconded, the Board adopted the recommendation of the Engineering Department. A contractor's bond was received for Harry H. Verkler. This bond was approved and ordered filed.
