South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -August 25, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />A. Public Hearing <br />() continued... <br />Lincolnway West. We urge you to table this <br />vote until you and your commissioners meet <br />with the stake holders in and around LaSalle <br />Square area to determine where the <br />boundaries should be extended to the south <br />of Lincolnway West. As the enclosed petition <br />states, "as the gateway to our city, <br />Lincolnway West and LaSalle Square area <br />offer the first impression of our town to our <br />visitors. Infrastructure improvements to <br />LaSalle Square and the surrounding area will <br />allow the City to jumpstart revitalization of <br />the Lincolnway West corridor and LaSalle <br />Square. The neighbors and business owners <br />o f the Lincolnway West Gateway <br />Association look forward to working with <br />you to make South Bend's west side an area <br />of which we can all be proud. In the petition <br />itself, we note, again, that we oppose this at <br />this time. We are not anti-growth at all. To <br />reiterate everything you heard, if you are <br />doing on the fringes, recognize the need and <br />the opportunities that could be created by <br />expanding the TIF southward to the LaSalle <br />Square and Lincolnway West area. Thank <br />you for your time. <br />GREG JONES: I work at the Indiana Plan, <br />315 N. Lafayette Blvd., and I live at 53384 <br />Olive Road. I am just going to reinforce a <br />couple of points that were made earlier <br />regarding a transportation plan. When the <br />Blackthorn Development projects were being <br />done, the Holy Cross Health Services were <br />building a building and some of my trainees <br />from Indiana Plan had to walk a mile from <br />26 <br />
