Bay Village applies for Safe Routes to Schools funding for three crosswalk projects, budgeted at $989,000
Summary
City staff submitted the updated School Travel Plan and will apply to ODOT for Safe Routes to Schools funding to install three crosswalk enhancements with rectangular rapid flashing beacons at school-area crossings; the construction budget prepared by Toole Design Group is $989,000.
Bay Village project manager John Rostash told the committee the City updated its School Travel Plan through a $50,000 Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) grant and is eligible to apply for Safe Routes to Schools funding by March 6, 2026. Rostash said Toole Design Group prepared a construction budget of $989,000 to install three crosswalk enhancements with rectangular rapid flashing beacons at Walker Road at Bradley Road, Bassett Road at Ednil Road (a high school exit), and Bassett Road at Foote Road.
Rostash said the Westerly School intersection (Wolf Road at Saddler Road) would receive pedestrian-focused signal improvements including a Pedestrian Recall Mode and ADA-compliant curb reconstruction. He noted the bridge behind Westerly School requires further preliminary due diligence and is slated for a separate application next year. Council members discussed grant eligibility requirements and Rostash said the inclusion of the high school in the updated School Travel Plan made the projects eligible for this funding round.
