Seven Hills outlines road, sewer and water plans; Broadview resurfacing slated for 2027
Summary
Mayor Tony Biasciotta said Broadview Road resurfacing is slated for 2027 with 80% funding from ODOT and a 20% local share split with Parma; engineering will be done by Parma.
Mayor Tony Biasciotta said Seven Hills will continue a multi‑year program of preventive pavement maintenance, targeted water main replacements and basin work and that the city is pursuing coordinated work with state and regional partners.
"We've developed the cadence," Biasciotta said of the city’s infrastructure approach, summarizing annual crack sealing, a reclamation product used in recent years, and a biennial program to resurface the worst streets. "If you get to the streets early enough, the cracks won't spread to bigger cracks, and you extend the life of your streets," he said.
The mayor announced that Broadview Road — the full length through Seven Hills — is slated for resurfacing in 2027 as an ODOT project. He said ODOT will fund 80 percent of the resurfacing work while the remaining 20 percent will be split between Parma and Seven Hills, and that the engineering work will be handled by the city of Parma.
"Now that's not part of the ODOT grant, but we were working on other sources of funding this," the mayor said, describing the city's plan to use the Broadview resurfacing as an opportunity to add catch basins, curbs and related sewer work. "If we don't get grants for the curbs and the sewers along Broadview, my commitment is we'll find the money internally," he said.
Biasciotta described recent water management work — adding basins, pipe lining and a schedule of sewer cleaning that moved from an eight‑year cadence to once every three years — and said the city will reconvene the water management task force heading into 2026 to prioritize additional projects. He said the city is coordinating with Cleveland Water on specific water main replacements (Skyview was cited as a candidate for a new main).
On traffic management during large projects, the mayor said construction contractors will be responsible for notifications and traffic control plans that must be approved by engineering staff. He did not provide lane‑closure details or a final construction phasing schedule.
No formal council action was recorded in the address. The mayor asked residents to report water problems so the city can map repeat issues and prioritize corrective work.
