South Ben I Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular M eting — August 28, 2012 <br />2. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. South Side Development Area <br />(I� continued... <br />Gentleman asked Mr. Durr what the <br />current level of service is on Ireland <br />and Fellows and what the projected <br />service is for Options A and C. Mr. <br />Durr responded that do- nothing plan <br />would be a failure. For Option A, the <br />city would have to retime the green <br />signal on Fellows, The green time on <br />Ireland was changed recently to <br />reduce emissions as part of a "green <br />grant." INDOT's opinion was that a <br />left turn lane was not required. But <br />INDOT looked at it again and said a <br />left turn lane would need to be added. <br />The gentleman asked what the current <br />service was. Mr. Durr responded that <br />there was very little traffic going <br />south. All the traffic is either going <br />through at Ireland or turning left more <br />down to Fellows or coming south on <br />Fellows and turning right or left. <br />Businesses at the corner expressed <br />displeasure of blocking entrances. <br />Mr. Durr guesses at certain times, <br />when there is heavy traffic, probably <br />getting into Option D. <br />Michelle, a Fellows Street resident, <br />thinks all Alternate B's are a win win <br />situation for everyone. Alternate C <br />will not eliminate the drainage <br />problem. Also, she agrees with the <br />previous speaker that we really know <br />that all 8,000 cars are going to travel <br />down Fellows through the <br />neighborhood. She would like to see <br />as few properties acquired. <br />17 <br />
