Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance amends previously approved ordinance 2106-2021 by correcting the project identification number (PID) assigned by the Ohio Department of Transportation and correct the project name where applicable.
Ordinance 2106-2021 authorized additional funding to acquire the various property rights necessary to complete the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - SR161 - I71 to Cleveland Avenue Phase I Part 2 PID 110376 PID 114254 project.
The Department of Public service is engaged in the Arterial Street Rehabilitation - SR161 - I71 to Cleveland Avenue Phase I Part 2 PID 110376 PID 114254 project. The project will consist of design improvements to Parkville Street south of State Route 161 (Dublin-Granville Road) including a new mini roundabout just south of SR161, along with improvements to Spring Run Drive north of State Route 161 including a new mini roundabout at Fuji Drive. Sidewalks will be added to both sides of Parkville and Spring Run. The project will also include a new Shared Use Path on SR161 from Maple Canyon Drive to Cleveland Avenue. Improvements include pavement, curb, sidewalk, shared use path, traffic signals, lighting and drainage.
