City of South Bend Office of the City Clerk August 13, 2004 I am petitioning the City of South Bend to vacate the alley just North of Jefferson Blvd between 36th St. to the West and the North/West alley between Jefferson Blvd and Marshall Ave. to the East due to the danger involved in keeping it open. We have cars using this alley to bypass the stop light at Logan and Jefferson. Also, cars use this alley as a thoroughfare between 36th St and Logan at very high speeds almost injuring the elderly couple who owns the abutting property as they are walking or taking care of their property. Due to the disrepair of the alley, cars drive through the private parking lot adjacent to it to avoid the potholes and gravel on the alley. This is ruining the private parking lot as well as a danger to the cars using the private parking lot for the business's it is for. These cars deposit their trash, including bottles, as they are traveling through. Also, the cars from the car wash nearby use this private parking lot to dry their vehicles. Once this alley is vacated, I plan to put a berm, which will include dirt, grass and bushes at the end by the North/West alley and have the alley repaved. . ~---~ 9~ ohn J Stackowicz Petitioner Filed to Clerk's Office AU G 1 6 2004 JOHN VOORaE CITY CLERY., S0.
