Administration begins bus‑stop review with Metro; bids recommended for Yosemite and Ridge Acres work
Summary
Village administration reported ongoing infrastructure work: municipal building construction and kitchen renovation, a recommendation to accept a low bid for Yosemite and Ridge Acres street improvements, and a planned meeting with Metro on March 26 to identify bus‑stop locations and shelter options.
The village administrator reported on March 24 that multiple infrastructure projects are moving forward and that staff are starting a coordinated review of bus stops with Metro.
Administration recommended accepting the lowest bid for the Yosemite and Ridge Acres street improvements; the engineer recommended Enlita Inc. as the low bidder and the administration told council the project should start in May pending contract authorization and final scope work. The project will include speed humps and planned sidewalk improvements that still need final scoping by public works and the engineer.
The administrator said municipal building improvements are starting at the end of the week, with parking directions to be provided as phases proceed; kitchen renovation work is under way and expected to complete in late May or early June. The Second Floor mezzanine schedule is not yet set because maintenance resources are focused on seasonal tasks.
On transit, the administration said representatives from Metro will meet with village staff on Wednesday, March 26 to identify and confirm bus‑stop locations inside the village, discuss seating and shelter types used across Hamilton County, and review funding options and requirements. The administrator said the village counted about 13 bus stops in the field and wants to reconcile that with Metro’s records and online listings. Staff aim to incorporate bus‑stop strategies into short‑ and long‑term road‑improvement planning, particularly if major work on Losantiville (Los Angelesville in transcript) proceeds in 2027.
Why it matters: Road projects affect residents along Yosemite and Ridge Acres and will require resident notifications and construction scheduling. The bus‑stop review could affect transit shelter access and pedestrian safety and is tied to longer‑range road planning.
Next steps: Administration will publish resident notices for affected streets, finalize sidewalk scopes with the engineer and public works manager, and follow up after the Metro meeting to report recommendations and funding options to council.
