South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting -October 20, 2006 <br />4. COMMUNICATIONS (CONT.) <br />for a small grocery and pharmacy. Improvements <br />including a sidewalk along the southern side of Lincoln <br />Way West would also increase access and improve <br />safety. <br />• Upgraded curbs, additional sidewalks, and possibly a <br />roundabout at the triangular commercial area located at <br />Bendix and LWYV could aid the flow of traffic, increase <br />safety for pedestrians, and encourage the stability of the <br />area. <br />OTHER CONCEPTS <br />1) Create pedestrian access over the railroad tracks to <br />LaSalle Park to connect the north and south sections of the <br />area. <br />2) Address drainage problems in the neighborhoods located <br />in the LaSalle Square area. <br />3) Make infrastructure improvements along Bendix Drive to <br />visually connect the LaSalle Square and Cleveland Road <br />developments. <br />4) Develop an interactive Science and Technology Center in <br />partnership with Bosch, Honeywell, the industries located in <br />the Airport TIF, and local universities. This center would be <br />designed to make area residents aware of science and <br />technology career paths, expose students to the skills needed <br />by industries in the area, and support the training needs of <br />area businesses. <br />Mr. Inks acknowledged receipt of the second letter <br />which was from Jerry Niezgodski, Chairman of the <br />Lincoln Way Nest Gateway Association. <br />Marcia I Jones, President <br />South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />227 W.
