December 7; 2009 <br />City of South Bend <br />Community and Economic Development <br />1200 County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Attn: Bill Schalliol <br />RE: PROPOSAL FOR CORRIDOR ANALYSIS OF WILLIAM STREET & <br />LAFAYETTE BOULEVARD TWO-WAY CONVERSION <br />Dear Bill: <br />Thank you for contacting Wightman Petrie, Inc. (WPI) regarding the traffic evaluation and <br />striping plans for the William Street and Lafayette Boulevard Two Way Traffic Study Area. With <br />the completion of the conceptual streetscape improvements in the study area, the corridor <br />analysis should now be prepared before the City implements two-way traffic on both William <br />Street, and Lafayette Boulevard <br />Keeping that in mind, we are very pleased to provide you with the following proposal for your <br />consideration: <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />WP understands the City of South Bend would like to convert both William Street and Lafayette <br />Boulevard from one-way streets to two-way streets. In order to insure this is done properly, the <br />City desires a corridor analysis be performed to determine the best configuration of the new <br />roadways. This analysis would need to include traffic modeling of the two corridors along with <br />an evaluation of the existing infrastructure, including existing signal equipment. <br />As part of the final report, recommendations will need to be made as to the recommended traffic <br />control at the intersections within the study area (i.e. traffic signal, 4-way stop, etc.), along with a <br />striping plan for the two roadways. The City also desires an estimate of the cost to implement <br />the plan. A preliminary estimate will also need to be prepared to serve as a place holder in the <br />City's annual budget. <br />i <br />,_` <br />V~II~HTI"~~ ~~ ETF~kE <br />SURVEYING ENGINEERING ENVIRpNMENTAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE <br />
