Mayfield Heights approves $2.0M ODOT signal upgrade for Mayfield Road; federal CMAQ funds cover part of cost
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance consenting to ODOT's Mayfield Road traffic-signal upgrade. The estimated construction cost is $2,000,719, with $425,000 funded by MPO CMAQ and the remainder charged to the city; staff said work likely begins in July with staged traffic disruptions.
Council voted to adopt an ordinance authorizing the Ohio Department of Transportation to advertise and bid a Mayfield Road traffic-signal upgrade project that includes new signal poles and mast arms at select intersections, updated wiring, new control boxes and an interconnect system tied to the police department.
Director Tunney and staff described the estimated construction cost as $2,000,719; $425,000 of the total is federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding from the metropolitan planning organization and the remaining cost will be the city's responsibility. Council was told the city budget includes the local match.
Officials said only three of the signal mast arms west of Landerbrook need full replacement; every signal along the Mayfield Road corridor will receive updated technology, wiring and control boxes. The upgrades will include fiber connections and additional cameras; city staff said the new interconnect will allow police to view and adjust signals remotely.
Staff said the project will require staged traffic interruptions and that ODOT will hold a pre-construction meeting with the city and the awarded contractor after bids are opened. Construction was expected to begin around July after the bid, award and pre-construction steps. Councilmember Manno said residents had reported timing problems at the Golden Gate area; staff said the new equipment should make remote timing adjustments easier once installed.
The ordinance passed on a roll-call vote; staff will coordinate timing, pre-construction meetings and public notifications once a contractor is selected.
