RESOLUTION ,
Concurring in Local Road Revisions required by _
the construction of State Route 23 in South Bend,
St. Joseph County.
WHEREAS, the Indiana General Assembly in an act approved March 6, 1957,
provided that, the line or actual location of a state highway may deviate from the
location of the public highway as actually traveled at the time such public highway
was, under this act, designated as a state highway as may be deemed expedient by
the State Highway Commission in order to shorten distance, to eliminate steep grades
or sharp turns, to widen narrow portions or otherwise to promote public convenience
and safety. Such portion of a public highway as may be abandoned because of the
changes herein described, shall no .longer be considered as a portion of a state high-
way, and such abandoned portion of such highway may be maintained as other town
or city streets and county highways are now maintained by the respective governmental
units in which such abandoned portion of said highway is located; and
WHEREAS, the Indiana State Highway Commission proposes to reconstruct
State Route 23 to modern standards in South Bend, St. Joseph County, and
WHEREAS, certain portions of the reconstructed State Route 23 may be on new
locations removed from the existing traveled highway and the State Highway Commis-
sion, acting through its' authorized engineering staff may designate that portions of
the existing traveled State Route 23 shall no longer be considered as a State Highway
and the same shall be abandoned to the City; and
WHEREAS, the Indiana State Highway Commission, as an established policy,
will place such portions of the traveled highway which are to be returned to local
jurisdiction, in a reasonable state of maintenance, compatible with anticipated usage;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the
City of-South Bend, does hereby agree to accept the abandoned portions of
the traveled highway into the city maintained system of streets upon com-
pletion of the proposed relocation and upon notification of said abandonment
action by the Indiana State Highway Commission.
