South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—April 10, 2012 <br /> 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> C. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> (6) continued... <br /> and bridge over the Indiana Toll Road <br /> connecting the intersection of Nimtz and <br /> Moreau to Cleveland and Mayflower. The <br /> design study would also look at the potential <br /> to incorporate or create joint access to the <br /> land parcels owned by the Indiana Toll Road <br /> (former state police post and ITR <br /> maintenance service point) along the <br /> roadway corridor. The roadway would allow <br /> connection of the Blackthorn Corporate Park <br /> to Hutsfield Square and Portage Prairie and <br /> create a new local road ITR cross point <br /> between Bendix Drive and Olive Road. <br /> The bridge concept is also an important <br /> linkage element for future pedestrian and <br /> bicycle circulation in the northwest corridor. <br /> The Nimtz Parkway Trail, proposed to be <br /> constructed from Moreau Court to the <br /> Blackthorn Golf Course entrance, would be <br /> able to connect into the network already in <br /> place in Hutsfield Square and along <br /> Cleveland Road. The bridge would be <br /> designed to incorporate pedestrian and <br /> bicycle access and allow a point of safe <br /> crossing over the Indiana Toll Road. Future <br /> trail sections along Nimtz would benefit from <br /> the bridge being in place providing additional <br /> connectivity. Staff requests approval of <br /> Resolution No. 3011 <br /> Mr. Downes asked if the intent is to have a <br /> couple of restaurants with access directly <br /> from the toll road, but also with access from <br /> Blackthorn Office Park. Mr. Scalliol <br /> responded that the intent is duel access. <br /> 28 <br />
