AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING USE OF PORTIONS OF . �' iYN L. BLOUGh1
COLUMBIA COURT BY MOTOR VEHICLES`: grN4 (Na
BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, that:
SECTION I. Finding of Fact. Certain hazards to the public
safety are found to exist in Columbia Court between Main and Michigan
Streets because of the large volume of pedestrian traffic flowing via
that route from the public parking garage at the southeast corner of
Main and Colfax Streets and the retail stores along Michigan Street,
the width of said street not being sufficient to accommodate both
pedestrian traffic in such volume and motor vehicle traffic. The
north -south alley between Michigan and Main Streets from Colfax to
Washington Streets provides all the access needed by motor vehicle
operators to the interior of said block and the public interest will
be best served by reserving Columbia Court between Main and Michigan
Streets exclusively for pedestrian traffic.
SECTION II. Prohibition. Motor vehicles hereafter may
not be used on Columbia Court from Main Street, to the north -south
alley between Main and Michigan Streets and from said north -south
alley to Michigan Street.
SECTION III. Improvements. The Board of Public Works and
Safety is hereby authorized to erect and maintain in the section of
Columbia Court closed to motor vehicle traffic such facilities for
the convenience and benefit of pedestrians as it may deem appropriate.
SECTION IV. Penalty. Any person violating the provisions
of Section II of this ordinance may be fined in an amount not exceed-
ing three hundred dollars or imprisoned for a term not exceeding
ninety days, or both.
SECTION V. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be in full
force and effect from and after its passage and publication as required
by law.
