<br />REPORT OF TRAFFIC ENGINEER
<br />Members of the Common Council
<br />City Hall
<br />South Bend 5, Indiana
<br />Gentlement
<br />June 7, 1948
<br />Attention: Mr. Korpal
<br />I have investigated the hazardous conditions at the southwest corner of Colfax Avenue and Michigan Street due
<br />to the location of the Indiana Cab Stand, as requested at your last regular Council Meeting, May 24, 1948.
<br />At present three. -cabs park at this location, the first within 10 feet of the Michigan Street Crosswalk.
<br />In leaving the,stand, considerable hazard and confusion is encountered with regular traffic on Colfax Avenue,
<br />:especially whesf cabs make a left turn north into Michigan Street or when Colfax traffic turns south into Michigan
<br />Street.
<br />Indiana Cab Company officials have agreed to a reduction in the number of cabs from three to two at this location,
<br />thereby holding the first cab 30 feet back of the Michigan Street crosswalk. This will provide for'better
<br />maneuverability at this location. The Cab Company•officials further agreed to instruct their drivers to use
<br />extreme caution when leaving this stand so as to avoid conflict with moving traffic on Colfax Avenue.
<br />fn
<br />Very truly yours,,
<br />ERNEST H. MILLER
<br />City Traffic Engineer
