REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AND SAFETY: CTTY OF SOUTH BEYDj IP<DiANA ELECTRICAL DEPARTTFEYT TO THE HONORABLE COMMON COUNCIL CITY OF SOUTH M3END I'-,?DIANA. Gentlemen: November 1, 1035 Pursupnt to the request of this Council, the Board of Public Works and Safety have investigated various situations and conditions in the City of South Bend, in the interest of pbblic safety, considering both traffic and criminal hazards, and desire to submit their findings and. recom-mend stions as of this date. In view of the many traffic c2suelties cn arterial highways, passing through this City due, in a large measure, to dissimilarity, of design and location of traffic signels c =using confusion, especially to strangers, we recommend that all suspended type signals on princi- l streets be re placed with the corner post type signals, the acme as those in the business section of the City, It may not be possible to make all of these changes immediately, due to financial limitations, but we urge that the following changes be made with the least possible delay: The three suspend- ed type signals on Lincoln Way West, at Cushing Street, Wilbur Street and Oliue Street, be re.- placed with post type signals with double signals on each corner, That double signals be install ed on each corner at Lincoln Way West and William Street in place of the single signals now in- stalled. That the present inefficient signals ?t Chapin Street end Western Avenue, end. at Michigan and Bronson Stteets, be replaced by modern designs of higher color visibility. -We are confident that these changes will relieve much of the traffic hazard that now seems to exist. Il is estimated that the cost of the changes recommended for immediate consideration will not exceec 9$1200.00. There are some sections of the City th?t are entirely without street lights or so poorly lighted as to constitute a menace to life and. -oroperty from both traffic hazards ^nd the practices of the criminally minded. In these sections citizens h?ve expressed their dread of being on the street after nir-r end the fear of T--omen to remain in their homes alone Pfter night. The following locations, covered by petitions for street lights now on file, have been inveeti_gated end we recommend the installation of lights as herein indicated. ineesch case: There are no street lights on Brookfield: Street frorrl Vassar Street to Elwood Avenue -nd the blocks are exceptionally long. We recommend the installation of one 4000 lu3:en light in this section nt a cost of $37.20 per year. Werwinski,,yLongley and Sibley Streets dead -end at Wilber St., and there are no lights to indicate the end of the streets. In the interest of traffic safety we recommend that a 1000 lumen light be installed at each of these dead -ends end thft their supporting Doles be oa_inted white. Each of these lights will cost $19.80 per veer or a total cost for the three lights of $59:40 per y -ar. There ere no lights on Fremont Street from Ornnp;e Street to Bertrand Street, and the light at Fremont and Orange is only a 1000 lumen letup. We recommend -that ?nother.1000 lumen lamJ5.be in- stalled at Fremont and Lawton Streets at a cost of $10.90 per ,year. A 1000 lumen lamp, just enough light to break the intense gloom, would be. very helpful and 2pvreciated at Huey and Prast Streets, and we so recommend, The cost will 'be X10.,'O per veer. Van Buren Street dead -ends on S= =ncone Street with no visible indication to vehicle drivers at night. A 1000 lumen light, with pole painted white, would. add much to the safety of this location. The cost of the light will be $$19.SO-per year. It is extremely dark in the vicinity of Fox and Hoke Streets rs there are no lights for 'blocks around. We recommend the installation of a 4000 1-rnen light at a cost of $37.20 per year. The east end of Campeau Street is in total darkness and we recommend the installation of a 4000 lumen light at Campeau and Twyckenhrm Streets. The cost is $$37.20 per yerr. The intersection of South fiend Avenue and Duey Street is deck, and especially is it dark on Duey Street. A 1000 lumen light would be heloful at this location. The cost is $19.0.0 per Year. U. S. Highway No. 20, c -rries a vast amount of traffic. It turns off Colfax Avenue onto Jacob Street and. there is no light at this intersection: We recommend that a 4000 lumen light be installed at Colfax and. Jacob Streets. The cost will be #37.20 per year. There are n number of high -value homes on East Colfax Ave., end the street is totally dark except for ?norch lights thpt are kept burning. We recommend the installati -n of a 2500 lummen lip at Colfax and Esther Streets ?t a cost of $31.20 per year. At Colfax and Greenlawn Avenue we recommend the installation of a 4000 lumen light. The coy is $37.20 per year. At Colfax and Coquillard Streets a 2500 lumen light is needed and the cost is $31.20 per yet There are no lights on Ironwood Drive north of Jefferson Boulevard. and this street is exten- sively used. We recommend that n 4000 lumen light be installed nt Ironwood end Colfax, at a cost of $37• �0 per ye^r. We also recommend the installation of ? 2500 lumen light .at the entrance of Wilson Street into Greenlewn Avenue. This light will cost $31.20 per year. There is a 6000 lumen light now located at Indiana Avenue end Clyde Street that the New York Central Railroad has been paying for and which they have now ordered discontinued as they no longer maintain a crossing at this location. Because of the dead -end of both these streets here, end the many residences in this vicinity, we cannot entirely eliminate the street light. We recommend that the 6000 lumen_ light be removed end_ in its place a 4000 lumen light be install- ed, costing ;37'.20 per year. t This is Ps fer as our investigations have lend us up to this date, although there are many more petitions for street lights in our files. Tr_ ou:recommendztions we have kept in mind the fin- ancial stringency and only the very minimum of the requirements have been considered. The principal cost, as reflected in this report, would be $1200.00 for the equipment and material) necessary to change the traffic signals mentioned which, we believe, every citizennwho is inter- ested in the safety of vehicular traffic will agree as to the necessity. The street lights here- in recommended, which represent only the minimum of our requirements but which would add greatly to the safety and comfort of citizens in these locations and of others who use the streets, waa Td' make and additional burden unon the street lighting appropriation of only $492.60 per year.
