just east of the eastern boundary of the Sample -Ewing Development Area. <br />Ewing is, for the most part, surrounded by residential development, park, <br />open space and educational uses, including Riley High School. <br />6. The alley west of Miami Street serves as the eastern boundary of the <br />Sample -Ewing Development Area. Miami Street runs north and south <br />from its intersection with Lincolnway East near the Sample Street and <br />Lincolnway East intersection. This arterial is one of the community's <br />major north -south corridors. For the most part, Miami Street remains a <br />strong commercial strip with relatively good economic activity and physical <br />condition. Although it is not in the boundaries of the Sample -Ewing <br />Development Area, it has a very strong impact on the area. <br />Within the balance of the Sample -Ewing Development Area, the street <br />pattern is basically a standard grid pattern. This grid pattern is especially <br />evident in the Southeast and Rum Village neighborhoods. Since the <br />neighborhoods are two of the oldest in the community, the grid pattern's <br />residential streets are, for the most part, narrow, two -lane streets. Some <br />of the major streets (connectors) in the area include Indiana Avenue and <br />Calvert Street which run east -west throughout the entire Sample -Ewing <br />Development Area; and Fellows Street, a narrow, two -way street which <br />carries heavy traffic north and south through the Southeast Neighborhood. <br />While the street pattern is primarily a grid system, the system is <br />interrupted in several areas, most notably by: <br />a. State Road 23, running on a southwest - northeast diagonal line <br />through the Rum Village Neighborhood. <br />b. The Army Reserve Center, located in the heart of the Rum <br />Village Neighborhood; <br />C. A number of large industrial physical facilities (EWI, South <br />Bend Lathe, and the Studebaker Foundary) disrupt the east -west <br />grid pattern in the Studebaker Corridor fringe area, which lies <br />between Franklin Street (west), Michigan Street (east), Sample <br />Street (north), and Indiana Avenue (south) and falls between the <br />Rum Village and Southeast Neighborhoods. <br />d. The Southeast Neighborhood park and educational facilities also <br />break up the standard grid pattern. The parks that are astride <br />the grid pattern in the Southeast Neighborhood include Dean <br />Johnson Park, Studebaker Park and golf course, Riley High <br />-13- <br />12/17/93 <br />
