8 SJCA | City of South Bend | Safe Routes to School | DES 1900447 <br />. <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />PARKING RESTRICTIONS <br />Parking restrictions are needed to regulate parent parking, but care must be taken not to push motorists into adjacent <br />neighborhoods or deny parents appropriate and adequate space for parking and drop-off activities. Curb paint and signs <br />can be used individually or together to help convey messages regarding parking restrictions. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS <br />As shown in the graphic below, there are many environmental resources in the proximity of the project. We have listed <br />below those that are within the project limits defined by the City of South Bend. <br />The Scope of Work for this project consists of design replacement of sidewalks and handicap-accessible curb ramps within <br />the neighborhood. The neighborhood for this project is generally bounded by Vassar Ave to North, Lincoln Way West to <br />the South, Wilber St to the West, and Sherman Ave to the East. Resources which will have to be coordinated with are the <br />ones which are within this neighborhood. Below is the summary of these resources and potential impacts to this project. <br />Efficiently and successfully navigating the complexities of the federal-aid NEPA process requires a two-prong approach. <br />The first prong being a comprehensive understanding of all the procedural requirements that accompany projects using <br />funds from the federal-aid process, and the second being a keen interpretation for, and adeptness with, subtleties and <br />specifics that can expedite NEPA processing. Following the NEPA protocol hierarchy of avoidance, minimization and then <br />mitigation, the SJCA team, will strive to avoid as much land acquisition and environmental impacts as a first objective. We <br />will focus particular attention on project schedules, costs and potential Section 4(f) resource (i.e. historic resource, public <br />parks or recreational property) considerations. <br />A cursory review for potential red flags was completed for each project area by our Environmental Services staff using <br />IndianaMAP, Indiana StreamStats, National Park Service data and the Indiana Historic Buildings, Bridges, and Cemeteries <br />(IHBBC) Map.

Religious Facilities: Faith Baptist <br />Church, Greater Mt. Calvary Church, <br />Holy Cross Church, and Kingdom <br />Life Christian Cathedral are within <br />the neighborhood. Access to these <br />facilities will have to be maintained <br />during construction. Coordination with <br />these facilities will be necessary. <br />2.
