December 2014 - January 2015
Dear Neighbor,
T$8�.
, , BEND
1865
South Bend has made strong progress in 2014 by signing 23 major economic development projects that will bring
1,350 new jobs —with nearly 400 of these jobs filled this year —and $186 million in new private investment to the
community. We're on track to extend our momentum into 2015 and beyond.
During the holiday season, I encourage you to take advantage of Downtown South Bend Incas new gift certificate
program that supports locally owned businesses. Downtown Dollars work just like cash and are redeemable at
over 50 businesses, including restaurants and entertainment venues. This initiative drives investment in our
community, providing additional incentive to take advantage of the vibrant downtown area. For more information,
visit dtsbdowntowndollars.com.
We got an early harbinger of winter this year and, as always in such hazardous conditions, City employees worked
hard to keep roads safe. South Bend's Snow Removal and Winter Storm Recovery Process is divided into two
overlapping systems. The City's primary and arterial streets form the first system. These roads, which carry a
majority of traffic and provide the interconnection of neighborhoods, are plowed from curb -to -curb and receive
salt for the duration of a storm. During those times, crews plow 24 hours a day to keep these roads open. The
second system involves residential snow routes. These streets are provided a passable lane and are salted on hills,
curves, and intersections. Crews address the neighborhood and residential streets after the primary and arterial
streets have been made navigable.
There are approximately 2,200 lane miles of pavement to be plowed. Residents are asked to wait to call the 311
Call Center to report unplowed streets until 36 hours after snow has stopped falling. This allows snow removal
crews adequate time to complete sufficient passes on all of their assigned snow routes.
The City also reminds residents to take steps to prevent pipes from freezing. In extreme cold, leave a little water
running —a stream about the diameter of a toothpick —at one or two spots in your home. A small stream of
running water has a minimal effect on water bills and helps prevent the major damage that frozen pipes can
create.
I wish everyone a joyous holiday season and a happy and productive 2015.
Sincerely,
Mayor Pete
