"The City is <br /> pleased to see the Corridor Committee being fully engaged in improving Lincoln Way West," said Mayor <br /> Luecke. "We are very proud of our partnership with a group of dedicated volunteers who worked diligently to <br /> bring this beautification project to fruition."The Committee hopes to attract interest from local residents and <br /> business owners who will sponsor planter maintenance after the first year, using the standards adopted by <br /> the Committee to preserve the uniform appearance of the Corridor. <br /> The goal of the planter project is to assist in improving the image, identity, and marketability of South Bends <br /> Lincoln Way West Commercial Corridor. "We are very excited about this project, which serves as a <br /> continuation of the Committee's ongoing beautification and marketing efforts," stated Jack St. Pierre, Lincoln <br /> Way West Land Use and Marketing Subcommittee co-chair. "We believe that the planters will complement <br /> the positive things that are happening on the Corridor." <br /> http://www.ci.south-bend.in.us/Press/Releases 2005/092705 LWW.htm 1/13/2006 <br />
