South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 28, 2012 <br /> 2. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> children. Mr. Davis noted that the <br /> woman was just asking for <br /> clarification as to whether she was <br /> going to lose her home. <br /> • Woman noted that kids are only in the <br /> park in the day time. Perhaps a <br /> walkway for the kids? And people <br /> don't want to lose their park, but <br /> better to lose a park vs. a <br /> neighborhood. <br /> • Someone said that with 8,000 <br /> additional cars coming in to the <br /> Fellows/Ireland intersection, he <br /> thinks they may not all be wanting to <br /> go on into downtown, but rather <br /> intend to do shopping along Ireland. <br /> Spending $6 million to do all this <br /> before we know we need to is an <br /> awful a lot of money. There are street <br /> counts that he's gotten from up in <br /> Mishawaka that Ireland can handle <br /> the amount of cars that are projected <br /> to go each direction. Why not wait <br /> and see if there really is a problem? <br /> • Gentleman asked Mr. Durr if Option <br /> A, from an engineering standpoint, is <br /> the best choice. Mr. Durr responded <br /> that Option A is an optimal choice. It <br /> meets everything that's needed to be <br /> done. But it is also important to get a <br /> decision made and go forward with it. <br /> People are tired of not knowing. <br /> • Woman requested that the city just <br /> take the houses. It's been over two <br /> years and the residents are tired of the <br /> indecision. <br /> 16 <br />
