<br />REPORT FROM TRAFFIC ENGINEER
<br />Common Council
<br />City of South Bend, Indiana
<br />Re: Traffic Signal Installation
<br />Gentlemen: at Sheridan and Western Avenue.
<br />On June 2, 1952 a request was made to the LaPorte District office of the State Highway Commission for the
<br />installati.on'of a traffic signal at Sheridan and Western Avenue as a result of, a petition filed with the Board
<br />of Public Works and Safety on May 22, 19529
<br />The gathering of data, by the State, necessary to reach a decision in the matter was somewhat delayed at that
<br />time due to the closing of Western Avenue between Olive and Kosciusko Streets for widening and improvement.
<br />I discussed this matter over the telephone with Mr. N. F. Schafter, Director of Traffic for the State Highway
<br />Commission, last Tuesday, June 16, 1953, and he informed me that all the necessary data has been gathered and
<br />that the signal is being recommended for installation to the Highway Commission. From all indications we should
<br />have a definite decision in the matter within the next two or three weeks.
