It is assumed that the development of the Central Business District will stabilize this adjacent area and provide sufficient traffic to make this area a viable business location. Until this development has progressed to the point at which it will have the anticipated beneficial effect, some effort appears necessary on the part of the City to insure the interim viability of this area. The City, through the Department of Public Works, has presented alternate Michigan Street improvement plans to the Indiana State Highway Commission that include revised signal systems, signage and traffic islands. A final generalized design layout has been approved by the Indiana State Highway Commission that can be anticipated to provide the necessary traffic ser- vice to this area. The funds being requested in this ordinance provide funds for the pre- paration of engineering plans based upon the above referenced schematic drawing, and for the necessary construction to implement this design. Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended. Very truly yours, Rollin E. Farrand, P.E.
