Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into an agreement with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) to undertake the I-270 West Outerbelt / US 33 Major Investment Study (MIS) to develop a strategic plan for Northwest area freeways and supporting arterial roads and alternative modes. Officials from the cities of Columbus, Dublin and Hilliard, the Franklin County Engineer's Office, the Union County Engineer's Office, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and MORPC have identified the need to improve the transportation system in the northwest portion of Franklin County and other nearby areas, but especially I-270 north from I-70 to US 33 and US 33 west from I-270.

Since a portion of this project lies within the City of Columbus, this ordinance is necessary. This study is scheduled for 2004-2005. The consultant for this study will be selected by MORPC, with the City of Columbus paying a share of the costs. MORPC will invoice the City on a monthly basis.

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $6.5 million in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for Federal / State Match projects. There is $45,000 specifically budgeted for this study within Fund 704, the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund. The City of Columbus is contributing $100,000.00 to MORPC for this study. The remaining $55,000.00 will come from surplus monies budgeted for right of way acquisition for the Norton Road widening project. Since both of these sources are within the Federal / State Match Project, Project Number 530208, no project transfer is necessary.
