Senate Ave. <br />Indianapolis, IPJ 46204 <br />Dear Sir or Madam: <br />I am writing on behalf of the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend <br />and St. Joseph County, concerning the U.S. 20 bypass from U.S. 31 to .the eastern <br />boundary of St. Joseph County. The Commission strongly urges the highway depart- <br />ment to follow a route for the bypass which destroys the least number of trees <br />and natural foliage. A bypass of scenic views from its cloverleafs, rights of <br />way, and the road itself would be a significant asset for the county as well as <br />a credit to the Indiana Department of Highway and Cole Associates. <br />• The Historic Preservation Commission, as one of its concerns, attempts to <br />preserve as much of the area's cultural landscape as possible including natural <br />habitats, forests, and full grown individual trees. Based on this mandate, we <br />strongly suggest your favorable consideration of this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />C/—�W P <br />John H. Oxian <br />Vice President <br />JHO/EJF <br />
