we believe that we paid for about forty percent or more of the amount of these improvements. <br />Our traffic system is bad end our mein street is absolutely unusable. <br />Especially during the Notre Dame Football games the-,-traffic at the corner of Portage <br />Ave. and Angela Blvd. was so heavy that cars were driven over lawns as there were no traffic <br />officers Rvs.ilable end there isn't -any traffic signal. Then two blocks Away the Angela. bridge <br />over the St. Joseph River is too narrow to take care of the amount of traffic t ha.t.pa.sses over <br />it especially during these.gemes. It is really dangerous not only to people driving but also <br />to pedestrians we have to use the very narrow walk provided only on one side of the bridge. <br />If there Pre any-new bridges to be built the first one should be on Angela. Blvd. <br />Now Gentlemen, every one of you a. member of the City Council, before you give your <br />vote for the next improvement that improvement should be on Portege Ave. This street is so <br />bad that -if -it stays the way it is we will be forced to hang red lanterns out at night to warn <br />drivers of the holes. And according to the condition its in we are afraid that there would <br />have to be almost as many lanterns as bricks in the pavement. <br />We, the undersigned, residents and property owners of this section of the city ask <br />every member of the City Council to take advantage of the Federal money available to improve <br />the following conditions in the North -west section of the City of South Bend. <br />1. Pave Portage -Ave. from Navarre St. to Keller St. with concrete and asphalt pave-' <br />ment. Widening street two feet on each side if necessary. Replace street car with bus service <br />2. Build a new concrete viPduct to replace the wooden one which is in a. very bed <br />condition, over the rPilroed on Portage Ave. <br />3. To install an electric traffic signal to regulate traffic on Portage Ave. where <br />Diam ^nd Ave.,_Blaine And Angela enter it. <br />U•. Widen or build. a new bridge at Angela. Blvd. were it crosses the St. Joseph River. <br />It is therefore the prayer of the undersigned that your Honorable Council sees to <br />make these improvements.
