Bedford Heights council approves solicitations for 2026 asphalt and concrete programs; staff outlines three resurfacing projects and QR-code notices
Summary
Council authorized staff to go out to bid for the city’s 2026 asphalt and concrete repair programs and heard that three projects (Meadow Lane, 50 Lane, and Halley Road) will start; staff demonstrated QR-code project signage linking to the city’s Community Alerts page for resident information.
Council authorized city staff to solicit bids for the 2026 asphalt repair program and the 2026 concrete repair program after motions and seconding on May 26. The motions to go out to bid passed by roll-call vote as recorded in the transcript.
Don, the city civil engineer, told council that three projects are already starting or soon to start: concrete repairs on Meadow Lane and asphalt resurfacing on 50 Lane and Halley Road. Don said staff is working to improve resident notifications by using project signage and door hangers that explain the step-by-step process for residents.
Jonathan demonstrated a large QR code that will appear on project signs and directed residents to the Community Alerts section of the city website, saying, “When you load up the webpage, it's just a little white box in the corner. It just says community alerts. That's where it is residing at right now.” The QR code links directly to that information and staff offered assistance to residents who cannot access it.
Council members asked whether leftover sidewalk work from 2025 would be scheduled once contracts are signed; staff said schedules will be provided after contract execution. The motions approved at the meeting allow bid solicitation to proceed; final contract awards and construction scheduling will return to council for approval.
