South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—September 13, 2012 <br /> the acquisition appraisal process and begin <br /> developing relocation packages. Also, staff <br /> will continue to review ways to add traffic <br /> calming measures or design elements into the <br /> roadway to minimize the impact of the <br /> roadway and increase pedestrian and <br /> vehicular safety. While its understood that <br /> this alternative may not meet 100% approval <br /> from all involved, we will work to <br /> accommodate schedules and other issues as <br /> best as possible to make the transition as <br /> smooth as possible. <br /> Mr. Downes asked whether the surveys were <br /> supposed to be responded to by a certain <br /> date. Mr. Schalliol replied that staff asked <br /> that all responses be returned by first thing <br /> today. <br /> Mr. Inks asked if this was intended to be an <br /> update today with no action by the <br /> Commission. Mr. Schalliol responded that it <br /> was intended to be an update, but he would <br /> like to get a sense of direction in order to <br /> know how to proceed. <br /> Mr. Downes said that he would like to have a <br /> more complete response from those <br /> surveyed. <br /> Mr. Varner noted that he doesn't think the <br /> fact that Alternative A is nearly ready to <br /> move on and would cost less than Alternative <br /> C are good reasons to select it. That should <br /> be a lesson for the future to not make <br /> administrative decisions without enough <br /> input. It's an expensive mistake to move to a <br /> 90% design without enough pubic input or <br /> Commission buy-in. He prefers Alternative <br /> C because it is least disruptive to the <br /> neighborhood and requires fewer <br /> acquisitions. <br /> 24 <br />
