Councilman Limpert Chairman of the Streets & Transportation Committee: The Streets & Transportation Committee met on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 at 8:30 p.m. Present were committee members Limpert, Kelly and Glassburn; Council members Hemann, Schumann and Williamson; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Planning & Development Lieber, consultants from Mott MacDonald and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2020-111. A Resolution authorizing and directing the Director of Planning & Community Development to make application to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) on behalf of the City of North Olmsted for funding for safety related improvements to Clague Road; and further authorizing funds for the required local match; and further authorizing the Mayor to accept the grant if awarded and to execute a contract for the same, and declaring an emergency. The committee received a presentation of a safety study performed by Mott MacDonald for improvements on Clague Road. The City is eligible to apply for safety funding through ODOT with the condition of 10% local match. The consultants addressed their recommendations and reasoning for why they didn't recommend other options. They expect a 30% efficiency increase by adding a turning lane at Maple Ridge and Clague Road. Committee member Kelly expressed his desire to have a turning lane available at Alexander. Committee member Limpert and Councilmember Glassburn requested an estimate to add a turning lane as the consultants believed it wouldn't be within the scope to get 90/10 financing from ODOT. Councilman Glassburn also asked about safety concerns of water pooling on the street and if that was evaluated as part of the study. The committee voted 3-0 to hold in committee. Councilwoman Hemann asked for a moment of personal privilege. I would like to report the sign has gone up at the corner of Canterbury and Butternut Ridge for the pocket park installation. It went up yesterday, I think. I am waiting to see as the work begins and how it starts to progress. I'd like to thank everybody of course for having that little project. I know it was a little bit of work for us all to accomplish the vote, but I think it will be a nice edition for us at that corner.
