RE: 1980 Signalization Improvements
Gentlemen:
Attached you will find an ordinance requesting $124,000.00 from the
Local Road and Street Account to be used toward the signalization of
intersections at four locations within the City of South Bend. These
intersections are:
Summit and Western Avenue
• Michigan Street and Donmoyer Avenue
• Angela Boulevard and Riverside Drive
Angela Boulevard and North Shore Drive
In 1979, two ordinances were passed appropriating funds from the Special
Local Road and Street Account toward intersection signalization improve-
ments at thirteen (13) various intersections. The moneys appropriated
were intended to be used as matching moneys for Federal -Aid Urban Funds.
It has now been determined that these Federal -Aid Urban Funds cannot be
applied to the Michigan Street and Donmoyer Avenue or Summit and Western
Avenue intersections, nor will they be available in the immediate future
in order to be used toward the upgrading of the other eleven intersections
listed. Based upon these developments, I have chosen to pursue the instal-
lation of signals at Summit and Western Avenue and Michigan Street and
Members of the Common Council

Donmoyer Avenue separately through the use of local funds. In addition,
I intend to reconstruct and actuate the signals at.Angela Boulevard and
Riverside Drive as well as signalize the nearby intersection of Angela
Boulevard and North Shore Drive.
The $124,000.00 requested in this supplemental appropriation will compli-
ment a total of $126,000.00 which is currently available for our use from
the 1979 appropriations.. Your favorable consideration is requested. Should
you have any questions in regard to this matter, please contact me at your
earliest convenience.
Ve ruly yours,
