Miller Mayor Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. Director, Public Works Members of the Common Council County /City Building South Bend, In 46601 Subject: Public Works Construction Projects Gentlemen: Reply To: Department of Public Works April 16, 1974 Revenue Sharing Funds are requested for three Department of Public Works construction projects. These projects are: 1. The signalization of the Miami - Ridgedale inter- section, $27,500. 2. The grading, paving and drainage of Inwood Road, $44,000. 3. Grading, paving and drainage of Denslow Drive, $44,000. The signalization of the Miami intersection is at the point where Ridge - dale intersects Miami to the east and Chippewa Street to the west. The heavy increases in traffic volumes on Miami, due to residential expansion to the south and the new Scottsdale Mall, make it extremely difficult and dangerous for traffic to enter onto Miami from the residential side streets. Signals are recommended to permit this residential traffic to enter onto Miami, and to provide gaps in the traffic for adjacent unsignalized inter- sections. This project is considered an important safety project. Inwood Road and Denslow Drive are County take over streets. During the past two Winters extensive deterioration of the surface on these streets has occurred. Both streets have severe drainage problems. On Inwood a Members of the Common Council Page 2 April 16, 1974 severe ponding condition occurs during storms, resulting in a partial blocking of the street and creating a serious traffic hazard. Over- flows from this ponding area are eroding earthwork onto other City streets in the Twyckenham dills area. The improvement of these streets is recommended to replace the deteriorating surface, to provide more effec- tive drainage control, to eliminate the erosion of silt onto the City streets and into the City sewer system, and to eliminate the hazardous ponding now occurring on Inwood.
