REPORT OF STREET DEPARTMENT MEMO TO: Mrs. Freda Noble, City Clerk SUBJECT: Utility Cuts on Mishawaka Avenue August 23, 1957 In compliance with the request made by the South Bend Common Council at their meeting on August 12, we wish to submit the following report on the condition of utility cuts and patches made on Mishawaka Avenue. 1. The only serious condition on Mishawaka Avenue exists on the north side of the Street from Eddy to 31st.St. In this stretch we have counted a total of 677 cuts. It is our opinion that approximately -60% of these cuts are in bad condition. 2. In order to correct this condition, we feel it would be necessary to remove a large majority of these cuts com- pletely and repatch. We feel, however, that the cost.of materials and labor expended on this operation would make the -job prohibiti*,e. .r 3. As an alternative to the above mentioned solution may we suggest that the City Engineer's Office obtain a cost estimate of a 1k" asphalt capping 12' wide and immediately north of the 2 center strips which have been recently recapped. This stretch for best results should run from Eddy to Logan St., a distance of 2.1 miles. 4. The next best':solution we feel would be to use the above mentioned capping on only those areas which should have immediate attention as follows: a. From Eddy - Street thru Greenlawn Avenue a distance of .8 miles (337 cuts should be replaced in this stretch). b. From 24th St. to 27th St. a distance of .1 miles (39 cuts in this stretch). c. From 29th St. to 31st St. a distance of .2 miles (61 cuts in this stretch). This alternate capping project would extend 1.1 miles. The three above mentioned stretches of pavement are such that they should have attention in the very near future. To go in a nd remove these cuts using air hammers to lower where necessary or raise as the case may be would require a tremendous outlay of labor in addition to the cost of labor expended for repatching since these cuts were patched with a 6" concrete subsurface and a 2" asphalt topping. All of these cuts were repaired by a firm on contract with the utility company concerned. Respectfully submitted we remain, Yours very truly, South Bend Street Department /s/ Dan W. Richardson DWg;MAD Dan W. Richardson, CC: Board of Works Commissioner Stanley C. Korpal, Council .President Ray Andrysiak Councilman Carr moved that the report be accepted and placed on file.
