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 <br />County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Subject <br />Gentlemen: <br />Council <br />Mishawaka Avenue Signals <br />Reply To: Department <br />of Public Works <br />April 16, 1974 <br />We are requesting a total of $45,000 for the reconstruction of the <br />signals at Mishawaka Avenue and Ironwood Drive, 26th Street and 30th <br />Street. This funding will be divided as $40,500 LRSA money and <br />$4,500 from CCIF. <br />This reconstruction will provide a signal system that conforms to <br />current standards for this type of installation. The present signals <br />on corner posts have proven difficult for the motorist to see as is <br />attested by the accident record at these intersections, including a <br />fatality. It is the opinion of the Engineering office, including the <br />Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, that this new overhead mast arm system <br />will significantly improve the safety factor at these intersections. <br />In addition, improved and more reliable controllers will reduce stop <br />and go driving patterns which should increase driver comfort and reduce <br />fuel consumption, a significant factor in this period of a fuel <br />shortage. <br />Very truly yours, <br />Rollin E. Farrand, P. E. <br />Director <br />REF:amc <br />
