INDIANA <br />Memo to: Members of the Common Council <br />January 6, 1971 <br />Subject: Appropriation of Road and Street Funds for Topics <br />(Traffic Ope=rations Program for Increasing Capacity <br />and Safety) Program <br />Per our previous discussion I am submitting an Ordinance for the <br />appropriation of $417,048.50 as the City',s share of construction <br />and engineering for TOPICS. These funds are to be appropriated <br />from Local Road and Street.Funds to "Services•Contractual" within <br />that Fund. <br />Our Engineers have revised the estimates of the original seven. <br />projects plus the addition of Project 7A (which is.the Ardmore - <br />Bendix intersection). <br />TOPICS is funded by 50% local funds (R & S Funds) and 50% Bureau <br />of Public Road Funds. <br />The design engineering must be funded 100% locally with 75% coming <br />from local R & S Funds and 25% from Cumulative Capital Improvement <br />Funds. <br />It is anticipated that bids will be taken for construction of the <br />eight projects in late April or early May with construction to be <br />completed in the 1971 construction season. <br />We expect that these projects will not only increase the safety . <br />and capacity of the various intersections, but will have a visual <br />impact on the community in our continued street improvement program. <br />e Tayl o <br />r r <br />LST:td <br />
