Summary

The board approved a resolution opposing parking restrictions and directing sign placement on Greenwell Avenue and heard an update that the township won an OKI (US DOT-funded) grant for a traffic-safety project that will convert a nearby section to three lanes and add a sidewalk, with construction scheduled about a year out.

Delhi Township trustees approved Resolution 2025-71, opposing parking restrictions on Greenwell Avenue, directing placement of signage and authorizing required public notice under Ohio Revised Code section 505.17. Public works staff said they had received complaints about visibility at a corner and recommended removing additional parking spaces to improve sight lines.

Public works personnel also updated the board about a separate, OKI-funded traffic-safety project (OKI funds administered locally and funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation). The township received the grant after a multi-year application process and is working with an engineer on design. Construction is scheduled for roughly a year from now; staff said the work will include roadway reconfiguration and a sidewalk and that planners are coordinating timing with other nearby development projects. Public works staff compared the planned conversion to an earlier project on Old Park Drive in 2010 that converted a lane-and-a-half to three lanes.

The board dispensed with second readings and adopted the parking-resolution by unanimous roll call vote. Staff said the timing of the grant award was fortuitous, given completion schedules for nearby development and other road projects. Trustees asked staff to monitor traffic flows and construction timing to minimize disruptions.

Ending: Staff said more detailed plans, timelines and visuals will be shared as the engineering process proceeds; formal construction is not expected until about this time next year.
