South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —July 12, 2012 <br />*A new traffic light will have been installed at the <br />intersection of Main and Ireland. This light will control <br />all traffic at that point. It will also provide for priority <br />left turns onto Ireland from Main. <br />*All lights at the intersections of Main /Ireland; <br />Ireland/Michigan and Ireland /Fellows are <br />appropriately synchronized for priority to north and <br />south bound traffic to and from the Freeway. <br />*Optional: The current left turn light from Main, east <br />onto Chippewa; to Michigan may remain. <br />North -bound trade from the Freeway (south of <br />Ireland) will proceed north on Fellows to the <br />Ireland /Fellows intersection. There, it will turn left <br />(west) at a priority left turn signal onto Ireland. It will <br />proceed west on Ireland for .3 mile to the <br />Ireland /Michigan intersection where it will turn right <br />(north). From there it will proceed north on Michigan <br />and beyond. <br />Note: <br />*A right turn light at the Ireland /Michigan intersection <br />will provide priority to north bound Freeway traffic <br />from Ireland onto Michigan and beyond. The current <br />It, <br />ft turn light remains and will be appropriately <br />synchronized. <br />This Option's advantages: <br />• Minimal road modification required at present <br />• Accommodates Freeway traffic as soon as <br />needed <br />• Prompt current resolution of the Freeway issue <br />• Fewer, if any, acquisition delays <br />• Minimizes current traffic intrusion during <br />construction <br />• Minimal construction time <br />• Minimal upfront cost <br />• Easy access to Erskine Commons Shopping Area <br />on west Ireland from southern communities <br />• Maker use of existing 4 lane commercial City <br />6 <br />
