Met with the City of South Bend and Transpo and reviewed Bus routes and the rerouting of the buses during the construction of the down town area. Also discussed the moving of pickup areas and placing temporary signage for the stops.
     Then went and looked at locations for the web cams, with Toy, Josh, Larry Lies and Scott Kirkpatrick. Placing the cams at Bartlett st., Marion Street, Century Center and the parking garage on Main Street.
     Then i met with Bob Strasbourg at the intersection of Marion and Michigan. We reviewed the overhead power lines that will need to be moved. The power pole on the north side of Marion just east of Michigan will, need to be removed by May 21 due to a pipe that will be running right next to it. This in turn will cause 4 street light on the east side of Michigan north of Marion to go down.
     I then talked to Tony Macias about Windstream on the east side of Michigan at Bartlett Street.
He is going to look into it and see if Windstream has a line at that intersection.

Met with Bob Strosburg from AEP, Jay Costello from ComCast and Toney Kaser from Reith Riley at Riverside and Bartlett.  Bob is going to remove the light poles on Bartlett from Riverside to West to the first street, next week. He will then place a temporary pole for the utilities running down the ally just East of Michigan road on the edge of the RW in the Park.Once the storm sewer line being placed by Reith Riley is run past the temporary service a permanent service will be placed under ground. Comcast also has a line running in the same area that is attached to the AEP Pole that needs removed. Comcast is intending to trench in a new line and bore a line deep enough to avoid the new sewer line.  A time line was not given on Comcast work.
       We then went to the South end of the project and met at Bartlett and Michigan St.(Jay, Toney & I). Jay explained how he was going to move the line along Michigan, Chippewa and Main. He informed me that it would be the first of May before this work can be completed. He then informed me that the lower line on the East side of Michigan running North and South was not his cable.
         Upon further investigation it was determined to be US Signals. I contacted Chris Olszewski of US Signal he confirmed he had a line in that area. He plans on having TurnKey get out there as so as possible. He then informed me that Windstream has a fiber line that is bundled with his lines crossing Bartlett. I informed Roger, Toy and Corbitt  of the city  because i did not know who to contact. I am now waiting on further instruction.

Then we had a meeting with Xavier Schools. They explained their concerns of the two way conversion. The time line of road closures was discussed in association with the school year. They talked about the pick up process of the children at the end of the day and how it will be affected. They requested the parking at the front of the school be redone to coincide with the new direction the traffic will be going. The city will have to look into that matter and get right of entry. Roger also informed Rich and Me to be aware of sight distance issues at intersections and drives with the new parking along Main and Michigan. Attendies Roger Nowrot, Toy Villa, Rich Estes, Chris Dressel, (Mrs Grimms, assistant Principle and Business Manager) Xavier School
