Miller Mayor Rollin E. Farrand, Sr., P. E. Director, Public Works Members of the Common County /City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Subject Gentlemen: Council Mishawaka Avenue Signals Reply To: Department of Public Works April 16, 1974 We are requesting a total of $45,000 for the reconstruction of the signals at Mishawaka Avenue and Ironwood Drive, 26th Street and 30th Street. This funding will be divided as $40,500 LRSA money and $4,500 from CCIF. This reconstruction will provide a signal system that conforms to current standards for this type of installation. The present signals on corner posts have proven difficult for the motorist to see as is attested by the accident record at these intersections, including a fatality. It is the opinion of the Engineering office, including the Bureau of Traffic and Lighting, that this new overhead mast arm system will significantly improve the safety factor at these intersections. In addition, improved and more reliable controllers will reduce stop and go driving patterns which should increase driver comfort and reduce fuel consumption, a significant factor in this period of a fuel shortage.
