Delhi Township trustees approve street-rehabilitation spending, authorize Delhi Pike traffic improvements
Summary
The Delhi Township Board of Trustees on Feb. 11 adopted resolutions to begin a 2026 street rehabilitation project (estimated under $1.3 million), authorized state-funded traffic work on Delhi Pike, and certified township road mileage at 54.62 miles; all measures passed by the trustees present.
At its Feb. 11 meeting the Delhi Township Board of Trustees voted to move forward with a larger 2026 street rehabilitation project and to authorize traffic improvements on Delhi Pike.
An official speaking for township engineering said the street-rehabilitation project is expected to come in “under $1,300,000,” and staff said the scope will be advertised for bids in the coming weeks. The board adopted Resolution 2026-12, declaring the project necessary and dispensing with a second reading so work can proceed on the standard timeline.
The board also adopted Resolution 2026-13, described in the record as authorizing state spending authority for traffic improvements on Delhi Pike at “Calumny” (as stated in the meeting record). Staff told trustees the local match for that work was originally expected to be about $400,000 but was reduced dramatically to “$2.60,” with only modest additional engineering costs anticipated.
Trustees further approved Resolution 2026-14 to authorize and submit the township’s 2025 highway system mileage certification. Township staff reported the township’s certified mileage at 54.62 miles and said the figure may increase next year as a subdivision wraps up.
All three resolutions were moved, seconded and adopted by the trustees present through roll-call votes.
Why it matters: The street-rehabilitation and Delhi Pike projects are the primary near-term capital works announced by township staff; moving now to dispense with second readings allows the township to advertise for bids and, if grants and contracts proceed, begin construction this summer.
What happens next: Staff said the street-rehab work will be advertised to contractors in the next few weeks; the Delhi Pike work is tied to state grant authority and will proceed according to the state and engineering schedules.
Quote: “We estimate it coming in under $1,300,000,” an official responsible for the project told trustees during the discussion.
