City enters joint cooperation agreement with township for Monroe Street resurfacing; council approves ordinance 97-2025
Summary
Sylvania authorized a joint cooperation agreement with Sylvania Township and Lucas County for a multi-jurisdiction resurfacing package that includes a Monroe Street segment; the overall project is estimated at $2.7 million with the city’s share around $661,500 and an OPWC request for $194,484 of the city portion.
Sylvania City Council on Sept. 2 authorized a joint cooperation agreement with Sylvania Township and the Lucas County Board of Commissioners to pursue resurfacing projects that include the Nantucket/Hembridge Woods subdivision and a Monroe Street segment between Main Street and Harroun Road.
Public Works Director Shaw explained the agreement is part of coordinated applications for Ohio Public Works Commission funding. Shaw said the total project estimate across jurisdictions is roughly $2.7 million; the city’s estimated portion is $661,500 and the city will request $194,484 of that amount from OPWC. The joint cooperation agreement defines responsibilities for engineering, construction and financial participation and is intended to improve the city’s competitiveness for OPWC funding.
Shaw told council engineering work will be done in the 2026 budget year and construction is planned for 2027. He said the agreement was brought forward early to allow time for reviews by the Lucas County Prosecutor’s Office, county commissioners and township trustees before OPWC’s November decisions. Council discussed how the Monroe Street resurfacing ties to other downtown projects and interchange work, and several council members thanked Shaw for interjurisdictional coordination.
Council considered and passed Ordinance No. 97-2025 as an emergency measure authorizing the mayor and finance director to enter the joint cooperation agreement and appropriate funds as needed. No public opposition was recorded at the meeting regarding this item.
