TO: Members of the Common Counci
FROM: William J. Richardson dl
SUBJECT: R &S 57 - McKinley ghway, Logan Street and Hickory Road
Intersection Project
On March 12th you will hold a public hearing on subject project asking
for'an appropriation of $251,500.00 from the Local Road and Street Fund
and $187,500.00 from the TOPICS program fund. This project is a com-
panion project to the one that Mishawaka is completing. We were ori-
ginally scheduled to start the construction in this area last summer
but due to right -of -way problems that cropped up on Hickory Road, we
were unable to meet the schedule. The plans were originally done under
the previous administration and has carried very high priority in the
overall transportation system for the City. We have now negotiated the
right -of -way and have submitted the final plans to the State Highway
Commission in the hope that we can get an April letting and construction
to start in May or June and have it finished yet this year.
TOPICS funds 500% of construction costs. From LRSA funds we would ask
for the other 50% of the construction funds which is $187,500.00, plus
the additional costs for the right -of -way and the final engineering
'costs to complete the plans.
The project will begin at Manchester Drive in an eastward direction and
ultimately ending up at Hickory -Logan intersection with a 5 -1ane pave-
ment and with curbs, gutters and new drainage along McKinley. On Hickory
Road, the project will begin where the pavement narrows down at the south -
side of the Ayr -Way's property south to McKinley Highway. The work on
the east side of Hickory will be borne by the City of Mishawaka. On
Logan Street, the work will begin approximately at the south property
line of Bethel College and continue north into McKinley Road again,
with new curbs, gutters and drainage.
Most of the storm water on this project will be dumped into the new
Hickory -Logan storm sewer that empties into the 36th Street lagoon south
of Bercliff Estates. The storm water on the east end of the project will
be dumped into the large ravine in that area near Manchester Drive and
is being coordinated with the McKinley Terrace storm sewer project which
is now under design.
