Plans have been developed to upgrade Wiley Park, but this project will <br />only move forward if grant funding is secured. Several applications are being submitted <br />to the State of Ohio and we will know later this year if they are successful. <br />Worton Park Culvert Replacement Project. Phase 1 of the Worton Park Culvert <br />Replacement Project, which includes replacing two culverts —one on Worton Park and <br />one on N. Woodlane Drive —started last fall. This phase was partially completed with <br />work resuming last week after a winter hiatus. Channel improvements are being made <br />between the new culverts and, with the help of the Sewer District, a property that <br />experienced substantial flood damage over the years was purchased and the home razed. <br />An expanded floodplain is being installed at this property to further improve drainage in <br />the area. $1.2 million was budgeted for this project and Great Lakes Crushing was the <br />low bidder at just over $873,000. Additional funds have been budgeted for Phase 2 of <br />this comprehensive improvement, which includes the replacement of three additional <br />culverts. <br />The Aintree Park Sanitary Relief Sewer was placed on hold last year, but funds for the <br />project have been set aside and the project will go forward later this year. The budget for <br />this project is $455,000 and work consists of the construction of approximately 670 ft. of <br />sanitary relief sewer to divert excess flow from the Aintree Park Drive sanitary sewer. <br />This relief sewer is expected to help alleviate basement flooding in the area. <br />Aintree Park Sidewalk Replacement. Mayfield Village Ordinances provide that the <br />maintenance of public sidewalks, driveway aprons and tree lawns is the responsibility of <br />the abutting property owner. The Village has a sidewalk reimbursement program to <br />assist residents with the repair or replacement of sidewalks in the event that damage is <br />caused by tree lawn tree roots. Many of the sidewalk blocks in the Aintree Park <br />neighborhood had become cracked or uneven, creating a potential safety hazard for <br />pedestrians. Rather than wait for residents to repair their sidewalks and request <br />reimbursement, I proposed to Council that the Village pay to repair or replace all <br />sidewalk blocks and driveway aprons that had been damaged by tree lawn tree roots or <br />utility castings. Residents were given the opportunity to share in our per block cost for <br />any blocks that were their responsibility, so that as many blocks as possible could be <br />replaced as part of the project. Council supported the project and I am pleased to report <br />that more than 60% of affected residents participated. A&J Cement Contractors <br />completed much of the work last November and is finishing up the project this spring. <br />Residents who did not participate and have blocks that remain out of code compliance <br />will be assessed later this year. <br />Aintree North and Sandalwood Sidewalk Replacement. Many of the sidewalks in the <br />Aintree North neighborhood and on Sandalwood Drive are also in need of repair, so we <br />
