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 />April 17, 1978 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />441 County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Angela Hill Improvements <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />219/284 -9251 <br />The attached appropriation requesting $174,000 represents the cost of the <br />improvements proposed for Angela Boulevard between U.S. 31- Michigan and a <br />point east of this intersection with Iroquois Street. <br />The steepness of the hill located in this area and the sharp curves which <br />one must negotiate when driving this section, combined with a deteriorating <br />pavement, have created a most unsafe condition on the Angela Hill. Due to a <br />combination of all three factors, this office is proposing a complete re- <br />construction of the hill. <br />This reconstruction will flatten the hill and smooth out the curves to as <br />great a degree as is possible within the existing rights -of -way. A re- <br />constructed railcrossing at the east end of this project, near St. Joseph <br />High School, is also proposed. The total cost of this improvement is broken <br />down as follows: <br />Construction $162,000 <br />Engineering 12,000 <br />PROJECT TOTAL $174,000 <br />Your favorable consideration is requested. Should you have any questions <br />in regard to this matter, please contact me at your earliest convenience. <br />Ver ul y yours, <br />C <br />Patrick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director <br />PMMc:amc <br />
