At the direction of the Mayor, the Department of Public Works is proceed-
ing with the planning phase of a project for the widening of the Colfax
Avenue -St. Joseph River Bridge, and the reconstruction of the east bank
of the river to a point just upstream of the South Bend Dam. In coopera-
tion with the Planning Bureau of the Department of Human Resources and
Economic Development, the Department of Public Works is completing the
application for Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment
Program funds for the construction of this project.
The guidelines for the use of these funds require that the Common Council,
as the legislative body of the City of South Bend, concur in this project
and the funding application. A Resolution has been presented to you for
your consideration authorizing Mayor Nemeth, as Chief Executive Office of
the City, to prepare and file this application.
The justification for these projects has been reviewed with you in a public
hearing at the time money for engineering design fees was appropriated.
This justification is not repeated here. However, I remain available to
discuss these projects with you at your convenience.
Your favorable consideration of this Resolution is recommended.
Very truly yours,
CLERK'S OFFICE
