110 CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br /> Ms. Beggs replied, Yeah, preconstruction work is going on now, so I imagine they are doing it, <br /> but I will look into it. <br /> Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, I have a couple questions. I'm the fourth (4th) District <br /> Council Member. Are there any trail closures related to the reliability line that is going along the <br /> East Bank Trail? When do you anticipate those? I'm sure they will be part of the communication <br /> plan but I'm just trying to get an idea. <br /> Ms. Beggs replied, I don't know exactly when we'll be at that point where we will be at the actual <br /> trail. We are not going to tear up what we can't fix that night. We don't want open trenches that <br /> folks could get hurt in. I don't know, exactly, when we'll be at the trail, but we have been <br /> communicating with the City. All of our projects do have project websites, but we will have a <br /> website dedicated to the trails, so folks can go on there. We will work with the City so that trail <br /> users are aware. Those details will be communicated. <br /> Councilmember Broden followed up, Ok, thank you. And then will the building at your Colfax <br /> substation remain? <br /> Ms. Beggs replied, Yes. <br /> Councilmember Broden then asked, Ok, is that an historic site or not? <br /> Ms. Beggs replied, It is not considered an historic site right now, but we've talked to the City and <br /> they really wanted us to keep it. <br /> Councilmember Broden stated, And then you mentioned the quick turn-around on the forty-three <br /> (43) lights reported. Was that a backlog of reports? <br /> Ms. Beggs replied, We got the forty-three (43) reported on Wednesday, so, I don't know if the <br /> person who reports had a back log. I don't know. I just know we got forty-three (43) reported in <br /> and had a pretty good turn-around on getting those fixed. <br /> Councilmember Broden stated, That is an awesome turnaround. Thanks! I appreciate it. <br /> Councilmember Voorde stated,I know you've got crews out there that assess the need for trimming <br /> of trees or whatever needs to be done. A couple of fellas knocked on my door and they were very <br /> nice. They said they would be in my backyard. <br /> Councilmember Scott stated, During the Polar Vortex, we had a power shutdown. Was that due to <br /> everyone running power at one (1)time? Or were some of these substations outdated? <br /> Ms. Beggs replied, The outages for the Vortex were not related to any problems as far as our <br /> systems or any potential overloads go, or anything of that nature. So, no. Our system is built to <br /> handle that. There was a power line that came down at one(1)point but that wasn't an overload. <br /> Councilmember Scott stated, We are working on another part of Light Up South Bend. So, it's <br /> looking like the first(1St) District and the fourth(4th) District might be part of it. The one(1) thing <br /> we have reported with 311 is the online process.
