Miller, Traffic Engineer presented reports on two petitions objec <br />to bus routes, as follows: <br />Board of Public Works <br />City of South Bend <br />South Bend, Indiana <br />Gentlemen: <br />and Safety <br />Re: Petition requesting that <br />the Miami bus be prohibited <br />from traveling on Irvington <br />Avenue between Erskine and Miami <br />Streets. <br />May 12, 1950 <br />In an effort to give better bus service in the area bounded by Fellow Street, Ewing <br />:venue, Miami Street and Donmoyer Avenue, the end loop of the Miami Street bus line was <br />extended or projected more to the center of this polulated area. <br />Being able to extend bus routes is one of the may advantages in bus mass transportati <br />service. Unfortunately these busses have to travel on city streets. In selecting the <br />streets for bus routes and extensions, the area is surveyed with two primary objectives <br />in mind: 1. Service to be rendered and 2. Safety of motorists and pedestrians along <br />the route. <br />Irvington Avenue was selected for the return route because it is the same width as <br />• other parallel streets and is exactly mid -way between Ewing and Donmoyer. The route was <br />extended west to Erskine for the same reason as this street is approximately mid -way bet <br />ween Miami and Fellows. <br />Since I.find no decided disadvantage in the streets selected in this extension over <br />other possible "streets in the area, I would recommend that no change in the routing of <br />I the Miami bus line be made at this time. <br />Very truly yours, <br />i <br />Signed: Ernest H. Miller <br />Traffic Engineer <br />
