CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Jerry J. Miller <br />Mayor <br />Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. <br />Director, Public Works <br />Members of the Common Council <br />441 County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Gentlemen: <br />Reply To: Department <br />of Public Works <br />July 9, 1975 <br />An appropriation ordinance is being submitted for funds to provide for <br />the extension of Donmoyer Street from its present terminus at Mich- <br />igan Street westward to Main Street. Donmoyer Street is the first <br />street north of Ireland Road that provides access through the area <br />east of Michigan to Miami and the residential area beyond. Traffic <br />restrictions have been placed on Donmoyer to enable its use as a <br />collector street. <br />Because of the one way pair on Michigan -Main Streets, southbound <br />traffic must make a circuitous movement to get to Donmoyer. A con- <br />siderable volume of traffic now uses the alley that lies in the <br />path of the proposed construction. This alley is not designed to <br />handle this volume of traffic movement and exits onto Michigan at <br />a hazardous intersection. <br />This connection will also provide some relief to businesses fronting <br />on Michigan Street who should benefit from easier access from South- <br />bound traffic. <br />Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Rollin E. Farrand, P. E. <br />Director <br />REF:dsr <br />
