This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract for the construction of the Federal Aid Routes 2009 Resurfacing Project. This project will be funded entirely with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 funds through a Local Public Agency agreement between the City and the Ohio Department of Transportation.

c. Miller Ave. from Cole to Livingston Ave.
d. Mooberry St. from 18th Street to Fairwood Ave.
e. Mt. Vernon from Champion Ave. to Taylor Ave.
f. Taylor Ave. from Mt. Vernon to Leonard Ave.
g. Tussing Road from Brice Rd. to Highland Park Drive (Corp. Limit)
h. Woodcrest Rd. from Noe-Bixby Rd. to Livingston Ave.
