PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
Staff requests approval of a project budget of $200,000 from the River West Development Area
for engineering costs for Western Avenue streetscape improvements.
As part of its implementation of the West Side Main Streets Revitalization Plan, the City of
South Bend proposes to make continued streetscape improvements to Western Avenue to
create an environment more inviting to commercial and residential investment. This project
includes the four -block section of Western Avenue between Falcon and Dundee Streets. This
work will complement the streetscape improvements completed between Dundee Street and
Bendix Drive in 2015 and between Bendix Drive and Olive Street in 2017.
Curbs, sidewalks, driveway approaches, and street pavement will be replaced. Street trees,
other landscaping, and decorative lighting will be added, and new sections of water main and
storm sewer may be installed.
Engineering work will proceed through early 2019. Depending on funding availability,
construction would begin in spring 2019 or 2020.
