South Bend Redevelopment Commission 215 S. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Room 301, South Bend, Indiana Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item DATE : June 11, 2026 FROM: Leslie Biek, Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: 2026 Rebuilding our Streets – Arterial Roads Budget Request Funding Source* (circle) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington; RDC General; Riv. East Res. * Funds are subject to the City Controller's determination of availability; if funds are unavailable, as solely determined by the City Controller, then the authorization of the expenditure of such funds shall be void and of no effect. PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Additional funds to pave arterial roadways within TIF districts SPECIFICS: This is a request for funding from the River East and South Side TIF Districts to support the City’s Paving Program. The Rebuilding our Streets plan focuses primarily on road condition and typically does prioritize the amount of traffic the road carries. This has been great for residential roads that are often neglected for the maintenance of higher volume roads. After 6 years of carrying out the plan, the major roads could use additional focus to make sure they don’t fall into costly repair. We evaluated the arterial roads in the city and estimated the cost to pave the lowest rated roads. The budget request is based on these estimates and will directly support street resurfacing and reconstruction projects within each TIF boundary. Funding is requested from each TIF District as follows: River East Development Area $1.0M South Side Development Area $1.3M ______________ ___________Pres/V-Pres ATTEST: __________ _______ _ Date: _____________ _______ APPROVED Not Approved SOUTH BEND REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION June 11, 2026 
