South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -March 3, 2006 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS <br />Mr. Inks reported that we are pushing ahead with the PROGRESS REPORTS <br />improvements to West Ireland Road and Michigan <br />Street next to the Erskine Commons site. Some <br />construction is already proceeding on West Ireland. We <br />have an obligation to complete that in the fourth quarter <br />of this year. ~Ue expect to see development on that site <br />as well later this year. <br />Mr. Laurent reported that staff closed on the Huckins <br />property last week. We are already working with <br />Engineering to get the demolition specifications written <br />so we can have the building demolished as quickly as <br />possible. <br />Mr. Laurent also noted that on February 24 we had the <br />kickoff of the Stamping Plant demolition. There were <br />about 90 people there. Congressmen were there. The <br />building they started on is already gone. <br />Mr. Williams reported on the progress on the Main and <br />Colfax parking garage. There are to be four phases in <br />the rehabilitation. At the northeast entrance near the <br />Palms Royale, all the concrete work is done. The <br />pedestrian access that leads to the elevator is finished. <br />They are now working on the northwest corner. They <br />are making a pedestrian ramp to keep pedestrians out of <br />the driving ramp. They are at least on schedule, maybe <br />a little ahead of schedule. They are to be substantially <br />completed by August 16, fully complete by <br />September 1, 2006. <br />Mr. Inks noted the great job that has been done <br />matching the new work with the existing building. It's <br />hard to tell where the old leaves off and the new begins. <br />8.
