Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, has operated the Paving the Way program since 1990. This program provides up-to-date roadway construction information to the public and to the media, including information on road closures, detours and alternative routes, technical advice for construction-related activities and safety tips. A website (www.pavingtheway.org) is updated daily.
Partial funding for the program is provided by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the federal government [latter funding passed through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)]. Ordinance #1654-2000 passed by City Council on July 10, 2000 authorized the Public Service Director to execute agreements necessary for this purpose.
This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to extend these agreements as appropriate through July 31, 2004. No additional funding is required at this time.
Emergency action is requested to provide for agreements being extended as soon as possible to memorialize present working arrangements.
