City authorizes ODOT overhead sign work on SR‑57 and SR‑113; no cost to Elyria
Summary
Elyria agreed to an ODOT agreement for overhead sign‑support improvements on State Route 57 and State Route 113; Engineer Schneider said ODOT requested an emergency clause and that there is no cost to the city.
Engineer Schneider told the Utilities & Environment Committee that ODOT will perform overhead sign‑support improvements on State Route 57 and State Route 113 and requested the mayor be authorized to sign the agreement. Schneider said the signs are maintained by ODOT, that there is no cost to the city, and that ODOT prefers an emergency clause to have the agreement in place by early October.
Council members asked about night‑time visibility and broader signage improvements; Schneider said those sign upgrades were not part of a recent repaving project and estimated a higher cost if the city pursued larger upgrades. The committee approved an ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter the agreement; members asked staff to coordinate with the city street department and traffic technician for any complementary local work.
