South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 30, 2012 <br /> 7. PROGRESS REPORTS <br /> to look at options other than realigning Fellows. There <br /> were three other alternatives presented, A, B, and C, <br /> plus some variations on B. Mr. Varner thought <br /> Alternative C seemed to be doable and affordable. <br /> Lower concerns were sewers, curbs and sidewalks. His <br /> personal objection was the number of homes to be <br /> acquired, which he found excessive and extraordinary if <br /> there was another alternative. In his opinion alternative <br /> C is a very logical step. <br /> Ms. Jones noted that the Commission still has to <br /> investigate Alternative C which would make a dramatic <br /> difference in the neighborhood with cul-de-sacs that cut <br /> Fellows off from Ireland. The issues are safety, <br /> emergency vehicle access, etc. There is still homework <br /> to be done. <br /> Phil St. Clair expressed his concerns over impact on <br /> O'Brien Park. <br /> Mr. Downes said the main thing he heard was the desire <br /> to make the decision and move on. <br /> Mr. Ford thanked the Commission for being there. He <br /> thought it was an informative meeting and that staff <br /> received a lot of good feedback. He also noted the <br /> expedience concerning this project. He said the city's <br /> main issues are public safety and cost. <br /> 8.
