1. BACKGROUND: To authorize consent and propose cooperation with Franklin County, Ohio for the FRA-TR229-1.89, (Winchester Pike at Bixby Rd. - Brice Rd) (PID 82404) roadway improvement project and to authorize Franklin County to acquire right-of-way located within Columbus’s corporate jurisdiction on behalf of Columbus and in Franklin County’s name, as necessary for the project. Upon completion of the project, Franklin County shall quit claim its interest in the right-of-way located in the City of Columbus’s corporate jurisdiction to the City of Columbus. This is a Franklin County project, with federal funding and oversight from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).
The purpose of this project is to reconstruct the intersection of Brice Road and Winchester Pike.
Because the project limits extend into the City of Columbus, ODOT has requested that the City of Columbus formally authorize consent through legislation for Franklin County to perform the work within Columbus’s corporate jurisdiction.
Construction is estimated to begin in May 2015, and conclude in October 2015.
2. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated project cost $4,000,000, with funding provided by FCEO and ODOT. No funding from Columbus is required for this project.
3. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency action is requested to provide this consent to Franklin County so the agency may maintain its project schedule.
