Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, April 17, 2023 Page 6 plan to follow the same program this year and will work with residents to get those neighborhood sidewalks in better shape. 2023 Road Program. If the car goes where the eye goes, then surely road maintenance is crucial to navigation. Village Engineer, Tom Cappello and Service Director, Scott Sipos, work together annually to survey and recommend streets in the Village that are in need of upgrading or maintenance. This year's road program includes resurfacing on Seneca, Highland, Metropark, Zorn and White Roads. The project is currently out for bids with work anticipated in late summer/early fall. Also, the County has started resurfacing Wilson Mills from Lander Road to Alpha Drive. This road work is expected to be complete by August, or sooner. Residents in the construction zone have been having difficulty receiving their mail, so Mayor Brunello in Highland Heights has put up a cluster of temporary mailboxes at Highland Heights Park for their use. Thank you to Mayor Brunello for the assist on that. Later this year, the Mayfield School District will be putting in a new driveway at Mayfield High School. The driveway will come out to Wilson Mills and will align with Miner Road to the North. Mayfield Village, as well as Highland Heights, have agreed to kick in $100,000.00 each toward the removal and addition of traffic signals, as well as required resignalization on Wilson Mills. The total cost for that portion of the project is estimated to cost around $360,000.00. A couple of additional projects, not being funded by the Village, are finishing up right now: Fisher Park. Dominion/East Ohio Gas is finally moving its measuring and regulating station from the east side of SOM Center Road, at Thornapple, to Village -owned property on the west side of SOM, behind Smokin'Q's restaurant. In 2019, the NE corner of Thornapple & SOM was designated as Fisher Park and plans were made to beautify the property, designate it with signage, and add landscaping and a couple of benches. All improvements, which will be done by our Service Department, were delayed until Dominion could complete its work. Now that the station has been moved, Service will begin to make these improvements this summer, as time permits. Plugging of Abandoned Natural Gas Well. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) determined that there was an abandoned gas well located on property owned by the Village at 6565 Highland Road. The well was to the west of the Greenway Trail, north of the Highland Road tunnel. ODNR is plugging this well as part of its Orphan Gas Well Program, funded by the State of Ohio, and will restore the area upon completion of the project.
