SUBJECT: Budget Request – Trail from downtown to ND
Funding Source* (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General
*Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller,
then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect.
Purpose of Request: This budget request is for $78,325 to develop a conceptual plan for a
bicycle and pedestrian trail connecting downtown South Bend to the University of Notre Dame
campus. A comfortable path for people walking or biking does not exist between the two
destinations and much of the current sidewalk infrastructure is deteriorated and feels unsafe to
residents and visitors alike. The plan will explore options to enhance the connectivity between
the two and make the route appealing to its users through branding, lighting and other
landscaping amenities.
