South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 28, 2012 <br /> 2. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> • Gentleman asked Mr. Durr what the <br /> current level of service is on Ireland <br /> and Fellows and what the projected <br /> service is for Options A and C. Mr. <br /> Durr responded that do-nothing plan <br /> would be a failure. For Option A, the <br /> city would have to retime the green <br /> signal on Fellows. The green time on <br /> Ireland was changed recently to <br /> reduce emissions as part of a"green <br /> grant." INDOT's opinion was that a <br /> left turn lane was not required. But <br /> INDOT looked at it again and said a <br /> left turn lane would need to be added. <br /> The gentleman asked what the current <br /> service was. Mr. Durr responded that <br /> there was very little traffic going <br /> south. All the traffic is either going <br /> through at Ireland or turning left more <br /> down to Fellows or coming south on <br /> Fellows and turning right or left. <br /> Businesses at the corner expressed <br /> displeasure of blocking entrances. <br /> Mr. Durr guesses at certain times, <br /> when there is heavy traffic, probably <br /> getting into Option D. <br /> • Michelle, a Fellows Street resident, <br /> thinks all Alternate B's are a win win <br /> situation for everyone. Alternate C <br /> will not eliminate the drainage <br /> problem. Also, she agrees with the <br /> previous speaker that we really know <br /> that all 8,000 cars are going to travel <br /> down Fellows through the <br /> neighborhood. She would like to see <br /> as few properties acquired. <br /> 17 <br />
