Madison Street drainage work underway; library asbestos assessment, EV charging plan in progress

South Bend City Council · January 28, 2025

Summary

City staff reported about 1,200 feet of compromised 18-inch corrugated metal pipe replaced on Madison Street (funded in record as 'grama'); library contractors completed asbestos cost estimates for insurance review and an EV charging survey yielded design plans forthcoming.

In the department reports, staff said the Madison Street safer route-to-school drainage project has required replacing about 1,200 feet of compromised 18-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP). According to the report, the work is funded by "grama" (as stated in the meeting record) and crews were granted an extra 15 days to complete remaining work.

The library remains under review by the city's insurer after contractors assessed asbestos removal costs; staff said they expect an update from insurance next week. Staff also reported an EV charging-station survey by a consultant (Damian Toder's group) and said design and engineering plans are expected to follow, enabling the city to pursue grant-funded installation if eligible.
