South BendlRedevelopment Commission <br />Regular Me ting - November 2, 1979 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS. <br />a. Mr.l Ellison continues... <br />details and numbers. The secondary charge was to look <br />at the Odd Fellows Building in its relationship to the <br />existing office market and also take into account the <br />relationship of it as an economic entity and a physical <br />structure in relationship to the Century Mall development, <br />It seems to me that that was a comprehensive enough <br />ch rge to assure that he took into account essential <br />fa tors. <br />Ms. Jeanne Derbeck: The Mayor said something about <br />thE plans for the bus terminal. <br />Mr. Nimtz: We had a meeting, and the Transpo people <br />had a meeting, with the Mayor and with Gruen and <br />Associates. At this meeting we saw the proposed plan <br />for the new Federal Building and where the Transpo <br />facility would be. We did not have a joint meeting, <br />but it is my understanding they (The Transpo Group) <br />re lly had no objection to the proposal as to where <br />th y would be located. <br />Mr. Ellison: That's correct. Essentially, the Transpo <br />terminal would be situated along property that is <br />currently vacant, that is, there is no impediment that <br />I am aware of. Part of the reason I answered the <br />qu stion that way Jeanne, is that if you're looking <br />foo a relationship between the Odd Fellows Building <br />and the Transpo terminal, there is none. <br />Ms. Derbeck: It was described by March Kovas of the <br />Tribune, between Jefferson and Washington three open <br />lanes, and I just wondered how, between Jefferson and <br />Washington. <br />Mr. Nimtz: Well, it would be just east of the rear <br />enc of the Odd Fellows Building to the service drive. <br />Th re'd be three lanes for buses, two going south <br />anc one going north. <br />Ms. Derbeck: Would the lanes extend from Washington <br />to Jefferson? <br />Mr.1 Ellison: Yes, the length of the block. <br />Ms. Derbeck: The Transpo terminal will not run on <br />Main? It will be east of the Odd Fellows Building <br />Ar a and probably the GSA Building. I might add it's <br />co fusing, to me that seems to cut off that whole <br />ar a from the mall. <br />-13- <br />
