South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting —April 24, 2012 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br />C. Airport Economic Development Area <br />(10) continued... <br />Road to Pine Road at the intersection with <br />Lincolnway West. The St. Joseph County <br />Airport Authority is underway with <br />acquisition of a tract of land that would <br />allow, with the City's purchase of one parcel, <br />to construct the connector roadway necessary <br />to link this roadway network. With this work <br />complete, a continuous roadway corridor can <br />be developed from Adams Road to Western <br />Avenue /SR 2. These additional funds will <br />help finalize plans through the future airport <br />property and complete some intersection <br />redesign at Lincolnway West. Staff requests <br />approval of Resolution No. 3026. <br />Mr. Davis asked whether the homeowners on <br />Olive Road were supportive or opposed. <br />Mr. Relos responded that most of the right - <br />of -way has already been acquired. <br />Mr. Davis inquired about the additional <br />traffic to come down Olive. Mr. Relos <br />responded that connector only effects the east <br />side of Olive Road. <br />Mr. Davis expressed his concern for the <br />change in traffic patterns directing traffic <br />away from current businesses. Mr. Relos <br />said he thought anyone wanting to go north <br />now uses the bypass to do so. The connector <br />would provide another option for going <br />north, but would not likely lure customers <br />away from Western Avenue businesses. <br />23 <br />
