CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> - Improvements could be made to the park near Nuner School. The park is technically <br /> owned by the School Corporation and would need their involvement in any upgrades. <br /> Currently the park is just a field with a track around it. Many nearby residents use the <br /> track for walking and running. <br /> - Multiple residents complained about speeding near and around Adams High School <br /> both on Mishawaka Ave. and Twyckenham Dr. Bad traffic occurs a half hour before <br /> school begins and a half hour after school ends. <br /> - There are no cross walks or turn lanes on Wall St. and Twyckhenham Dr. which is <br /> very dangerous. Parents stop on Twyckenham Dr. to let the students out and then they <br /> run across the street. Residents suggested prohibiting parking on Twyckenham Dr. <br /> during rush hours. <br /> - A large bush on Wall St. hinders traffic visibility. <br /> - There are no slow down signs or lights near Adams HS, the other three (3)high <br /> schools all have the signs. <br /> - The zoo is currently undergoing a refresh and retheme in areas. Committee Chair <br /> White stated a good solution was found on a new fire station for the area through <br /> community dialogue that will not take park land near the zoo. <br /> - Committee Chair White wanted to point out how the"basics" in the neighborhoods <br /> north of the river in the Third (3rd) District were better kept than south of the river. <br /> The curbs, sidewalks, and lighting are all better taken care of as well as the housing <br /> stock. <br /> - People use Longfellow Ave. as a shortcut to get east to west in South Bend. Residents <br /> wanted the type of speed humps installed on Sunnymede Ave. also placed on <br /> Longfellow Ave. <br /> - Councilmember Broden suggested a traffic study could take place for the entire <br /> neighborhood to view traffic patterns. <br /> - The School Corporation is in the process of renovating School Field by Jefferson <br /> School. On gamedays parking on South St. becomes a problem. Residents su gg ested <br /> a police officer help direct traffic on South St. like they do on Eddy St. during <br /> gamedays. <br /> - Residents were generally in favor of the "speed humps"installed on Sunnymede Ave. <br /> Sunnymede (I 100 Block South Street, Jefferson School)- Randolph Park(1809 Randolph Street) <br /> - On the way to Randolph Park the bus stopped at Progressive Baptist Church on <br /> Sunnyside Ave. There are issues with parking due to the church not having a parking <br /> lot. <br /> - Matt Emery (Sunnymede Neighborhood Association President) got on the bus to <br /> greet and speak to the residents. The neighborhood association was having a <br /> neighborhood cleanup with the help of residents and Adams students. Mr. Emery said <br /> the neighborhood has a good relationship with the church and the church allows the <br /> neighborhood to use their facilities and grounds for events. The only real solution to <br /> parking is mutual consideration. <br /> - River Park is having its own clean up on Saturday April 28th from 10:00 a.m. — 12:00 <br /> p.m. <br /> - Longfellow Ave. pavement is noticeably rough and a possible candidate for mill and <br /> resurface. <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 227 W.Jefferson Bvld I South Bend,Indiana 466011 p 574.235.9221If 574.235.9173 TTD574.235.55671www.southbendin.gov <br /> 2 <br />
