RE: A Resolution of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, Approving,
and Adopting the West Side Main Streets Plan
Dear Councilman Davis:
I am attaching for filing a resolution that adopts West Side Main Streets: The
Revitalization Plan for Lincoln Way, Western Avenue, and West Side Neighborhoods.
This plan, developed through the participation of the Redevelopment Commission, Urban
Enterprise Association, and west side business owners, property owners, and residents,
provides a market -based revitalization strategy and land use plan for these two key streets
and their adjoining neighborhoods.
On November 18, 2014, the Area Plan Commission adopted the West Side Main Streets
Plan and recommended that it also be approved by the Common Council.
I will present this resolution at the Community Investment Committee meeting and the
full Common Council meeting on December 8. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact me at 235 -5843 or mdivita @southbendin.gov.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Divita
