Patrick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director, Public Works <br />CITY of SOUTH BEND <br />PETER J. NEMETH, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />March 7, 1979 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />441 County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Attention of Mr. Joseph Serge, Chairman, Public Works Committee <br />RE: Monroe Street, Main Street to Lafayette Boulevard <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />219/284 -9251 <br />Attached you will find an ordinance appropriating $69,500 from the <br />Cumulative Sewer Building and Sinking Fund and $70,000 from the <br />Local Road and Street Fund (a total of $139,500). <br />This funding is requested to enable the City to widen Monroe Street <br />to a width comparable with that section of Monroe Street which ex- <br />tends from Lincoln Way East to Main Street. This widening is neces- <br />sary to properly and adequately address present traffic demands. <br />Said demands are anticipated to increase sharply during the recon- <br />struction of the Colfax Bridge; these improvements are critical to <br />downtown traffic patterns when Colfax is closed. <br />In addition to the roadway widening, the sewer separation activity <br />pursued during recent years will be continued with this project. <br />Should you have any questions or require further information, please <br />contact this office at your earliest convenience. Your favorable <br />consideration is requested. <br />Very truly yours, <br />grick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director <br />PMMc:amc <br />Attachment <br />
