08 City of South Bend, Indiana | Safe Routes to School (SRTS) – Kennedy Academy | February 14, 2023 <br />RIGHT OF WAY PLAN DEVELOPMENT & RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION <br />Based on the project layout and our understanding of the goals for the <br />project, the acquisition of additional right of way is not anticipated. <br />However, if unavoidable right of way impacts are determined, <br />our team will be ready and able to handle the situation. Volkert has been <br />responsible for acquisition of over 100 parcels for INDOT in the last two years. <br />PUBLIC OUTREACH <br />Based on the project requirements a Public Hearing is not anticipated. <br />However, if desired by the City, Volkert is experienced with, and can <br />hold, Public Information Meetings. The goal of the Public Information <br />Meeting would be to present the proposed project, the proposed improvements <br />including the pedestrian and bike facilities and associated features, as well as <br />the Maintenance of Traffic Plan. The proactive approach of informing the public <br />about the project and including them in the project development process <br />would be consistent with the efforts the City has made with the Kennedy Park <br />Neighborhood Plan. <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />Longley & College: Curb ramps missing, no Detectable Warning Surface (DWS). <br />“Brian and the Volkert team are committed to improving safety and striving <br />to meet state and federal safety goals of reducing the risk of death, or <br />serious injury resulting from traffic crashes.”
