week in whi h these residents on Wellington Street in the
<br />LaSalle Par< Project Area, R -57, had unanimously petitioned
<br />to keep the street open in lieu of the cul -de -sac construc-
<br />tion, It was reiterated again, as was expressed by the Com-
<br />mission at the meeting, the purpose of installing the cul-
<br />de -sac is (L) to prevent the traffic flow of commercial ve -.
<br />hicles from coming into the project area, and (2) to elimi-
<br />nate the residents of the proposed Greater South Bend Hous-
<br />ing Development from using Wellington as a thoroughfare,
<br />thus giving protection to the Wellington Street residents.
<br />Subsequentl , the staff has met with the -Area Plan staff,
