Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the City to reimburse the City of Gahanna in an amount up to $122,660.00 for the construction costs associated with the signal construction and pavement widening at the intersection of Taylor Station Road and Claycraft Road, and to reimburse the City of Gahanna in an amount up to $ 6,050.00 for construction costs associated with the signal construction and pavement widening at the Morrison Road and Claycraft Road intersection.

These improvements were identified through a traffic impact study conducted in 2004 in connection with the redevelopment of the Lucent site by Mount Carmel Health System, M/I Homes, and Continental Reality. The improvements identified in this impact study have been prioritized and the developers have contributed toward the cost of the improvements in accordance with the City's "Pay As We Grow" initiative. The two regional projects identified above are needed to mitigate the impact of traffic from this site, and are cooperative projects between the City of Columbus and the City of Gahanna. Future projects in this growth area include the improvement of East Broad Street to 6 lanes with a median, curb, and sidewalks.

Emergency action is requested to reimburse the City of Gahanna in a timely manner for costs associated with these projects.

Fiscal Impact: This project is budgeted in the 2006 Transportation Division CIB and funds are available within the Voted 1995, 1999, 2004 Streets and Highways Fund from the 2006 Bond Sale.
