signalized intersections, bridge replacements, sanitary lift

Douglas Road Reconstruction
DOUGLAS ROAD ALIGNMENT
•Alignment shifted south of existing roadway centerline to avoid impacts:
–Warren Golf Course (Notre Dame)
–Wetlands along the north side
–AT&T Utility, eligible for reimbursement ($750,000).
–2 houses on the north side of Douglas Road, east of Juday Creek,
would have required total acquisition and relocation of residents.

PROPOSED LIFT STATION LOCATION
•Proposed Lift Station location was selected based on:
–As close to existing lift station as practicable and minimizes the
amount of existing infrastructure to be reconstructed.
–Maintains direct exit route for the force main.
–Must be on east side of Juday Creek for gravity sewer to work.
–Parcel already owned by City of South Bend (Utility owned by
City)
–Relocation to the north side would have required a total take
and relocation of resident.
–Initially it was assumed the City would be responsible for the
cost of lift station relocation, including any Right of Way
acquisition required for construction of the facility, therefore it
was economical to utilize City owned property.
