BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with John Eramo & Sons, Inc. for the Marion Road Stormwater System Improvements Project and the Lockbourne Road Stormwater System Improvements Project. The purpose of this project is to alleviate drainage issues in the Marion Road and Lockbourne Road area.
This is a joint project with the Department of Public Service. This area of Lockbourne Road does not have sidewalks and was designated by Public Service to receive sidewalks as part of the safe route to school program.

The Public Service portion of the project will also provide sidewalks along Marion Road from Parsons Avenue to Lockbourne Road. Currently, pedestrians walking from Parsons Avenue and needing to reach the shopping area south of Frebis Avenue or the schools in the area must walk in unsafe, uneven areas along Marion Road. This work will be done in the Near South community planning area.
