1. BACKGROUND
This is consent legislation with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a pavement repair project. The project proposes to perform partial depth repairs, plane and resurface pavement with asphalt concrete, and replace pavement marking and loop detectors. Overall Project Limits extend on US 40 (Broad Street) from the US 42 interchange in Madison County to east of Galloway Road in Franklin County (approximately 12 miles). The portion of the project which is located in Columbus is from west of Doherty Road to east of Galloway Road (approximately 0.4 miles). (MAD/FRA-40-7.84/0.00 PID 76356)
This is an Ohio Department of Transportation resurfacing project and there is no new curb ramps, sidewalks or bike paths associated with the City of Columbus portion of this project to be constructed. All existing bus stops will be preserved and/or maintained and maintenance of traffic plans take into account active bus stops for the project throughout construction.
Since a portion of this project lies within the City of Columbus, this consent ordinance is necessary. Construction of this project is scheduled for Summer 2010. This legislation also authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into the necessary agreements to complete this project.
