CITY OF SOUTH BEND South Bend, Indiana 46601 Jerry J. Miller Mayor Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. Director, Public Works Members of the Common Council 441 County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Gentlemen: Reply To: Department of Public Works July 9, 1975 The ordinance appropriating money for PROGRAM CD 4 includes funding for four projects. These are the curb relocation on the north side of Westmoor from Sheridan to Bendix, reconstruction of the retain- ing walls for the Walnut Street approaches to the G. T. & W. and the Penn - Central tracks, curb and sidewalk at the Bowman Cemetary site, and new curb for two blocks of Huron Street. The Westmoor Street curb relocation is being accomplished with the CSS & SB Railroad and Bendix Corporation. As a part of this over- all program, the CSS & SB Railroad will remove their tracks from this portion of Westmoor Street. This will not only eliminate the hazards of the train - vehicle conflicts, but will also simplify the problems of maintaining this hazardous and difficult to maintain section of street. The deterioration of the Walnut Street Railroad approach retaining walls is resulting in the loss of the pedestrian hand rails and erosion of the street. Reconstruction of the walls will correct these problems and will include a ramp for handicapped persons. Bowman Cemetary is a City cemetary. Replacement of the deterior- ated curb is a City responsibility. As a part of this project, a total of approximately one -half (2) block of curb will be replaced. Sidewalk will be replaced as required across City property.
