As you are well aware, Western Avenue is one of the busiest corridors into <br />Second District South Bend. This Resolution would designate Western Avenue as a top priority for the <br />development of creative and sustainable revitalization. It is similar to the Lincoln Way <br />Valerie ism West Resolution which the Council unanimously adopted at our last Council meeting. <br />Third District g• <br />Fred Ferlic In light of the new Community and Economic Development Director, Scott Ford, now <br />Fourth District coming on board to serve the citizens of South Bend, we have an opportunity to begin <br />new dialogues and create new partnerships, and revitalize existing ones. So that you <br />David Varner have a chance to review efforts attempted by the City, we have filed one (1) copy of the <br />Fifth District 50 -page Western Avenue Commercial Corridor Revitalization Action Plan, dated June <br />1999 and the 4 -page City of South Bend Directory of Neighborhood Based <br />Oliver J. Davis Organizations, Historic Districts and Commercial Corridor Groups, with the Office of <br />Sixth District the City Clerk. These documents are also available on -line. <br />Derek D. Dieter <br />At Large We believe that the adoption of this Resolution would help jump -start needed <br />discussions, so that positive growth initiatives can be identified and pursued along <br />Gavin Ferlic Western Avenue. We seek your support and look forward to discussing this in greater <br />At Large detail with you and the City Administration at the Community & Economic <br />Karen L. White Development Committee meeting on June 11, 2012. Thank you. <br />At Large Sincerely, r--\ <br />Henry D Jr., 2n /0*M+�'ct Council Member <br />ber <br />Attachment <br />
