Explanation

This consent legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to execute a Local Project Administration (LPA) agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the Morse Road Phase II project. The Federal Highway Administration has earmarked $1,491,150.00 to the City of Columbus for the Morse Road Phase II project from its appropriation within the 2004 Omnibus Transportation Act. The Morse Road project is designed to promote neighborhood livability, pedestrian friendliness and business retention and expansion. This roadway improvement project provides for landscaping, median, pavement and drainage improvements, bike lanes, sidewalks, mast arm traffic signals, traffic control signing/striping, street lighting, new curbs and other improvements. This phase of the Morse Road project extends from Karl Road to Cleveland Avenue. This agreement outlines the responsibilities of each party.

The City will assume and bear one hundred percent (100%) of the total cost of the project not covered by the Omni Transportation Act appropriation. The City will be the lead agent for this project. No financial participation is required by the City at this time.

Emergency action is requested to keep this project on schedule and budget.
