South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Rescheduled Regular Meeting -March 10, 2006 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />B.

For example, like the <br />East Bank Walkway. I can see structural <br />steel at the bottom of those piers. I know <br />that it needs attention. So, as part of our <br />development, that needs to be addressed. <br />Architecturally, it will become our front <br />street.
