Regular Council Meeting <br />8/16/93 . . Page Ten ' <br />Mr. Chokel said he agrees. Half the problem is probably bettered by this plan. <br />Many residents in the audience voiced agreement that it was a nightmare (trying to get <br />out of Worton Park). <br />Mayor Rinker said no one will dispute that. He asked that we let 1Vgr. Hovancsek <br />address this since he is a little more familiar with some of the .facts. <br />Mr. Hovancsek said the reason a light has not been placed there is because the spacing <br />is just too close to the light at Alpha Drive. I <br />Mayor Rinker said if Mr. Hovancsek has had a chance to look at any reports or figures <br />to date, he would like to be enlightened and he thinks everyone would--as to what <br />specifics we lcnow, what questions we still have. <br />Mr. Hovancsek said there has not been any data submitted by the Traffic Consultant for <br />Progressive on the possibilities of a light there. Regarding the entire concept, the plan <br />itself calls for adding some additaonal lanes on the south side of the street starting with <br />the taper west of Worton Park and ending up going into the drive of Progressive. <br />Instead on one lane into Progressive, there will be 2lanes into Progressive. <br />Mr. Chokel pointed out•the area Mr. Hovancsek described on the map. <br />Mr. Hovancsek continued to explain that there will also be an additional lane that will <br />go to the east onto the "on ramp" to I-271. There is a widening of a lane there in the <br />Progressive drive. One of the problems with the presentation, is we want to know a <br />breakdown of the preliminary cost estimate of the work that will be done in Mayfield <br />Village and Highland Heights on Wilson Mills Road and on the dedicated portion (a <br />small portion) and the undedicated (or private portion) of the Progressive drive. <br />Mr. Chokel said they just received that information today. We first received an estimate <br />for the plan of one million one. We got it down to $687,000. We gave it to Steve and he <br />worked it some more and in total we are down to $556,000. That is if the contracts get <br />awarded at.the expected prices and if they go within budget. Of the cost of $556,000 <br />(the latest estimate we have for the total) $94,400 is strictly in Highland Heights; <br />$191,200 is strictly in Mayfield Village; $230,900 is Progressive's front end of the drive <br />which is a dedicated road in Mayfield Village; and $39,000 of the total $556,000 is totally <br />Progressive's. Our part is less than 10% of the total and we have been offering to pay <br />25% of the total.
