City moves forward with $2.4 million concrete street program focused on Ward 6; OPWC provides $1.6 million
Summary
The Public Service Committee approved a resolution of necessity to repair concrete pavement on multiple streets, emphasizing work in Ward 6 and noting the program received approximately $1.6 million from the Ohio Public Works Commission toward a $2.4 million project.
The Public Service Committee approved a resolution declaring it necessary to repair concrete pavement on segments of multiple streets — work that the department said will be concentrated this year in Ward 6.
Public Service Director Chris Luddle described the item as the city’s annual concrete street program and said the resolution of necessity starts the assessment process for benefiting property owners. “This first piece of legislation that we put before you is, is just our, our notice of, resolution of necessity, which means we will send all the benefiting property owners in these segments of street she just read for their assessment,” Luddle said. He estimated the administrative timeline as about eight to ten weeks to complete the process and bring a notice to proceed back to council.
Luddle said the program budget for the project is roughly $2.4 million and that the city received about $1.6 million from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC). He noted the city has expanded concrete repairs since Issue 4 in 2017 and highlighted recently completed work including Thornton Street and Patterson Avenue, which supports a new community center and raised crosswalks.
Councilman McKittrick thanked staff, saying the work was long awaited in his ward. The committee approved the resolution on consent.
