South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —March 14, 2013 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS <br />C. West Washington- Chapin Development Area <br />(1) continued... <br />Mr. Relos noted that Resolution No. 3123 approves an Addendum to the Master Agency <br />Agreement for the William Streetscape Project. This project will remove and replace cross <br />walks, curbing, sidewalks, and tree lawns along the west side of William Street between <br />LaSalle and Washington. <br />The Commission currently owns the old Basic Machine property at the southwest corner of <br />LaSalle and William. The sidewalk along that half block has been slowly sinking for <br />several years. The project will repair that problem and add new tree lawns to match the east <br />side of William Street. <br />As part of the project, new ADA compliant cross walks will be installed at the intersections <br />of LaSalle, Colfax, and Washington, complimenting the recently announced City of South <br />Bend ADA Transition Plan. Funding for this project will be from the WWCDA TIF, with <br />an estimated cost of $130,000. Implementation will be overseen by the city's Engineering <br />Department. <br />Mr. Varner wondered if the cost was reasonable. Mr. Relos responded that a large part of <br />the cost is for the ADA ramps. Mr. Varner also asked if conduit was being installed at the <br />same time. Mr. Relos responded that there will not be because the tree lawn wouldn't allow <br />it for it. <br />Upon a motion by Mr. Downes, seconded by Mr. Alford and unanimously carried, the <br />Commission approved Resolution No. 3123 approving and authorizing the execution of an <br />Addendum to the Master Agency Agreement with the Board of Public Works (William <br />Streetscape Project) <br />D.

Over <br />the past several years, the City of South Bend has made plans to improve traffic circulation <br />and pedestrian accessibility within the Erskine Hills Shopping District / Ireland Road <br />Corridor. In the fall of 2012, the Commission approved the original addendum to target 5 <br />right -of -way (ROW) acquisitions to allow for planned ROW improvements on Ireland and <br />Miami. The ROW targets were at the intersection of Ireland and High, along the east side of <br />7 <br />
