Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into an agreement to participate and fund a project with the Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) to study of the extension of Gemini Parkway to connect with Polaris Parkway or Worthington Road as part of the redevelopment of the old amphitheater site. As part of this project land use information within the review area will be updated and 2009 traffic volumes will be developed using MORPC's regional travel demand model. Also, several transportation network alternatives will be developed to represent the different possibilities for extending Gemini Parkway eastward. Future year traffic assignments will also be performed.

Upon completion of the project MORPC will deliver a final report documenting all land use, traffic forecasting and analysis information.
