South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br /> Regular Meeting—August 28, 2012 <br /> 2. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. South Side Development Area <br /> (1) continued... <br /> with Option A Mr. Durr responded 30 <br /> m.p.h. <br /> • Mr. St. Clair noted in relationship to <br /> the park that he does sympathize with <br /> some of the things said tonight. He <br /> takes Fellows Street home every <br /> night. He works at the O'Brien <br /> Center, Director of the Parks and <br /> Recreation Dept., and he wanted to <br /> make a few points about O'Brien <br /> Park. Each year they count each kid <br /> who participates in a program at each <br /> park. This past year at O'Brien Park <br /> there were over 8,000 kids. There <br /> were another 9,000 in summer camps <br /> there. The point is that there are kids <br /> in the park all day long. He would be <br /> concerned about the safety of those <br /> children with a highway running <br /> through the park. Also, when the <br /> property was deeded by the O'Brien <br /> family to the city, it was deeded for <br /> the property to be used as a park. <br /> But, first and foremost, his concern is <br /> safety. <br /> • Mr. Downes asked how soon the <br /> Options would be available online. <br /> Mr. Schalliol responded that they can <br /> be posted as early as Wednesday, <br /> August 29, 2012, on the city's <br /> website at southbendin.gov. There <br /> will be a link on the front page. <br /> • Woman asked when the houses would <br /> be taken or not. She said that since <br /> residents were told the city was <br /> taking the homes, renters won't rent <br /> 19 <br />
