Mayfield Heights approves final resolution for Mayfield Road signal and fiber upgrades; state bidding to begin in July
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-28 to request ODOT proceed with Mayfield Road improvements, including signal replacements and fiber optic connections; council discussion clarified local and NOACA funding and that the city must submit local funds to the state.
The Mayfield Heights City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-28, authorizing the Ohio Department of Transportation to proceed with improvements to Mayfield Road from Iroquois Avenue to Gates Mills Tower Drive, including traffic-signal replacements and fiber-optic connections for signalized intersections.
The council passed the final resolution required for the project to move to the state bidding process in July. Mr. Schmidlin presented the resolution and council members voted to suspend the rules before approving the measure.
Councilmember Balestreya asked about project financing. Director of Finance Mrs. Scully said the city received a “small amount” of NOACA funding and that she would follow up with the exact NOACA portion. Schmidlin said the city must initially “cut the check for this $2,000,000 to ODOT” and that NOACA funding would later reduce the city's net share.
Mr. Balestreya pressed for the funding breakdown because the council was approving the total dollar amount subject to offsets from state and regional funds. No detailed dollar split was provided during the meeting; Mrs. Scully said she would report back to council with specifics.
The roll call on the motion to approve recorded unanimous yes votes from council members present and the resolution was adopted.
No construction schedule was announced at the meeting; the council indicated the state will proceed with bidding following adoption of the resolution.
