South Bend Redevelopment Commission Regular Me ting - March 20, 1981 5. PUBLICIHEARING (continued) We haVE a few other items that we would like to note that WE are recommending for changes. Originally we had be (n anticipating widening Bronson Street from "Marie to to Lincolnway ". We'are going to recommend instea that the language in our plan be changed to "Columbia and Lincolnway ". At the intersection of Bronsori with Lincolnway we are going to attempt to purchase the property so that we can line up that intersection and install a traffic light at that intersection. We think that that will facilitate access to both the Edgewater and Monroe - Sample neighborhoods. We also think that that will facilitate us in attempting to restrict traffic out of the in- dustrial area that we are wishing to establish so that it doe n't intrude further up Lincolnway. Certainly Lincolnway functions as a major artery and will always carry hat type of traffic, but we think we can limit the traffic that is generating from the area we are establ shing somewhat if we can provide easy access off Bronson Street through a traffic light. Originally we also had Columbia and Carroll Street south of Bronson as being listed as vacated. We have a number of different property owners along there that may or may not choose to have that vacated, and we have decided to withdraw that at this point from our list. Should that be pursued `in the future, it can be pursued simply by a petition from those property owners. We felt that it wasn't necessary to include that in our plans at this time. We wil also be acquiring some properties in order to in- stall ome turning radii at Columbia and Bronson, and Fellow and Bronson, so that traffic which will come from Fellow3 can move over easier than they can right now up Columbia Street. One of the positive things that has come f rth recently is that TRANSPO will be running a bus li a down Columbia and Fellows, providing that we make t ese adjustments. They are currently using Fellow3 Street and they find it to be a very dangerous inters ction at the north end and would like very much to be able to utilize the Columbia Street entrance into the neighborhood. 14ith a traffic light at Columbia, it makes it a good deal safer. We are also noting that George Avenue will be vacated, which qas overlooked in our original submission. Clinton Street from Bronson Street to Frontage Street will be va- cated, that is a new item we have added as well. Various
