Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This consent legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to execute a Local Project Administration (LPA) agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the Pedestrian Safety Improvements - Lane Avenue Sidewalks project. The City will be the lead agent for this project.

The project consists of constructing sidewalk and ADA curb ramps on the south side of West Lane Avenue from Kenny Road to Fyffe Road, milling and resurfacing West Lane Avenue from Kenny Road to east of Fyffe Road, adding a left turn lane eastbound at Kenny Road and westbound at SR 315.

In addition, this project includes ODOT's widening of the US 315 north and south exit ramps at West Lane Avenue and US 315 and upgrading the traffic lights within the limits of the project.

10 ADA ramps will be added or reconstructed in this project. Pedestrians would be mostly students residing in the Fisher Commons and occasionally people using the sports facilities west of Kenny Road.
The anticipated project schedule for construction begins on 6/13/11 and ends on 8/15/11.
