Update-AEP Maggie Beggs, Community Affairs Manager for I&M with offices located at 2929 Lathrop Street, stated, We've got some work we're going to be doing in the network area that is going to start in July. Those are a more routine kind of inspections, taking a look at our equipment and looking at our equipment to be sure everything is up to par. At that point,you might see some activity if there are repairs on things that need to be made. We've got our Central South Bend Reliability Project that you guys may be aware of. That is the substation on Colfax. That will be an underground line that will kind of weave its way around the business to the west side of Niles and it will continue along by the dog park and along the trail up to Angela. It then goes west on the north side of Angela,underneath the St.Joseph river,go down Elwood and then go to a new Muessel substation that will go across the street from where our current Drewrys substation is. So, we are working on that right now where we basically are doing some preconstruction activities. So, you might see our right-of-way agents out talking to landowners and things of that nature. The demo for the Colfax substation will start this fall, probably around September. It will last until about May of 2020. The underground line, like I said, we've got preconstruction activities going on now, but the actual construction will start in the next three(3)to six(6)months.We will be sure to communicate when we assign an actual contractor. At that point, we will have a plan and will be communicating with the City on the details of what that is going to look like such as traffic control plans and things of that nature. We are anticipating to get some information out to the public through a media release once we get to that point, so, a little bit closer to the dates so folks don't forget. That will start in INTEGRITY' SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BIANCA L.TIRADo JOSEPH R.MOLNAR CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov
