July 23, 1945
Board of Public Works and Safety,
City of South Bend City Hall,
South Bend, 5, Indiana
Gentlemen:
I have your cormnunication calling attention to a motion made at the July 9th
1945 meeting of the City Council, by Councilman Brannan and seconded by Councilman
Bishop, that the Board of Public -works and Safety instruct the Traffic :engineer to take
steps to install a. traffic light at the corner of Mishawaka Avenue and Twyckenham Drive
and if some definite action is not taken before the next meeting, a- resolution will b-e
prepared and presented to the Council.
I wish to report at this time that detailed studies are being made to determine
the type of control necessary to preperly safeguard the intersection and to have factual
data to present to the UVar Production Board when asking for priorities on controlled
material.
In order to investigate the problem at this intersection from all angles and
to -further my argument for controlled materials, studies should be conducted when school
is in session. Some delay therefore will be encountered in determining the type of
controll necessary.
GC: Common Council
Very truly yours,
(_) Ernest H. T.?iller, City Traffic Engineer
The Board also received a carbon copy of a letter sent to the Common Council
by Mr. Miller relative to the accident experience involving South Shore Trains at the
intersection of Johnson and Orange Streets. This letter was also sent to the Superinten-
dent of the South Shore Railroad Company.
