South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 28, 2012 <br /> 2. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> B3 requires the acquisition of 18 properties. <br /> Mr. Durr said that Option D is a hybrid of <br /> Options A, B, and C. Option D addresses the <br /> primary issue of additional traffic from U.S. <br /> 31 by enlarging the intersection at Fellows <br /> and Ireland and providing an alternative <br /> route through park land to Michigan Street. <br /> It also reconfigures Fellows to address the <br /> problem intersections at Teri, Barbie and <br /> Chippewa. By moving the additional traffic <br /> to Michigan Street down Walter and through <br /> park land, it returns Fellows to a residential <br /> two lane road with on street parking. It will <br /> solve all the drainage issues existing issues <br /> on Fellows and Barbie. On-street parking <br /> would be available for Fellows and for <br /> Chippewa. It does require the use of park <br /> property and requires the acquisition of 19 <br /> properties. The majority of properties are in <br /> the north quadrant near Chippewa, Teri and <br /> Barbie. <br /> Mr. Durr noted that the drawings show what <br /> total acquisitions would be needed for the <br /> project, but not where partial acquisition <br /> would be needed. The drawings will be put <br /> on the city's Web page, <br /> www.southbendin.gov <br /> Mr. Durr offered to take questions from the <br /> Commissioners at this time. <br /> Mr. Varner said that he prefers a plan that <br /> keeps traffic on a commercial street(Ireland) <br /> and minimizes the number of property <br /> 8 <br />
