Explanation

This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into an agreement to participate and fund a portion of the S.R. 3 (Westerville Road) Traffic Study. This study will be undertaken by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and will be funded by Columbus, Franklin County, and State of Ohio. The study area will reflect a current safety project effort by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) from S.R. 161 to I-270. Using existing and projected traffic volumes and recent crash history, MORPC will identify conceptual design alternatives that will address traffic flow and any safety deficiencies in the corridor. A strategic implementation plan will also be developed.

MORPC's contract compliance number is 311009675 and expires 7/19/09.

Fiscal Impact: The City of Columbus will be responsible for thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the cost of this study with the Franklin County Engineer and ODOT being responsible for the other sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%). Funds for this study in the amount of $25,000.00 are available within Streets and Highways Improvement Fund in the Roadway Improvements category.
