REPORT: TRAFFIC ENGINEER I WALK -WAIT SIGNALS, Sfilva)LE & CHAPIE STREETS
Following a request by Dr. Alex Jardine of the South Bend Community School
Corporation fortiralk-wait signals at intersection of Chapin and Sample
Streets, referred to the Traffic ET ineer for investigation and recommen-
dation, Iv1r. Hazinski, Traffic Engineer, submitted his report together with
a letter from Indiana State Highway Commission in which the request for
such an installation was denied.

signals at Chapin and Sample Streets. However, in accordance with the

from the State Highway Commission, together with the Board's ruling, to
Dr Jardine.
