Mayor Jones says Dover Center, Clague roads to be resurfaced; Dover Center work to last about six weeks
Summary
Mayor Dailey Jones told Council that Clague Road (southbound) and Dover Center Road (Lorain to Westlake line northbound) will be resurfaced; Dover Center is expected to be a six-week project starting in the next few days and will overlap the Aug. 21 North Olmsted school start, prompting coordination on bus routes.
Mayor Dailey Jones reported to Council that the City will resurface two road segments this month: Clague Road (southbound) and Dover Center Road from Lorain to the Westlake line (northbound). She said the Clague resurfacing is expected to last a couple of weeks, while Dover Center Road will be a six-week project that will commence within the next few days.
"It will be when school starts, unfortunately. School starts here in North Olmsted on August 21st," Jones said, adding that the administration is working directly with the school district on bus routes and notifying affected parents. She said all department directors are coordinating communications to residents and that while the construction will be challenging, the result will be a drivable Dover Center Road the city will be proud of.
The Mayor said the city located a contractor able to perform the work this year and that moving funds to complete the Dover Center work was an unexpected but necessary action. Council did not record an exact dollar figure in the spoken report; the Finance Department later referenced the appropriations item that supported equipment procurement.
