North Ridgeville wins $700,000 state grant for roundabout; city updates on water, bridges and paving
Summary
Mayor announced North Ridgeville will receive $700,000 from the Ohio Highway Safety Improvement Program for a roundabout at Bainbridge and Root roads; city engineer updated council on water-meter replacements, bridge projects, resurfacing and stormwater code corrections tied to Ohio EPA audits.
Mayor told council on July 7 that North Ridgeville was awarded $700,000 through the Ohio Highway Safety Improvement Program to construct a roundabout at the Bainbridge Road and Root Road intersection. The mayor said North Ridgeville was one of three Lorain County municipalities awarded funding and one of 26 roundabout projects statewide, and described expected benefits including reduced serious-injury crashes and improved traffic flow for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, school buses and emergency responders.
City Engineer reported the consumer confidence report required by the Ohio EPA has been posted on the city website and the July newsletter. Engineer provided project updates: US-20 bridge replacement between Mills Creek and Barton and the State Route 83 bridge repairs are scheduled to complete later this fall; a Turnpike westbound off-ramp to Lorraine Road will remain closed for another month; a catch-basin rehabilitation project is underway and full-depth concrete pavement replacement and resurfacing projects are scheduled to start soon.
The engineer also reiterated that the Ohio EPA audit of municipal facilities and ordinances identified deficiencies related to the city's NPDES/MS4 compliance, prompting the ordinance adopted at the meeting to address illicit discharges. The engineer said additional code revisions will be required in coming months to address other items delegated by the agency.
