This resolution authorizes the Village Manager to submit a Letter of Interest to the Ohio Department of Transportation to request funding for the construction of a sidewalk along Burg Street.  

On January 6^th, the Ohio Department of Transportation announced that it would be accepting Letters of Interest for potential projects to be funded through the Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program.  Projects funded through the TE program are intended to enhance the transportation experience, but are not “highway projects.”  Eligible projects include acquisition of historic sites that have a relationship to transportation, rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings including historic railroad facilities and canals, establishment of transportation museums, acquisition of scenic easements and scenic sites, scenic highway programs including the provision of tourist and welcome center facilities, and the provision of bicycle and pedestrian lanes, sidewalks, and bridges.

As part of its announcement, ODOT stated that Letters of Interest for potential projects would need to be submitted by February 1^st for consideration during the current round of funding.

After the Letter of Interest is submitted, ODOT will review the information and make a determination on whether the proposed project meets the eligibility requirements.  If the project meets all of the requirements, the Village would then be asked to prepare a full application.  It is anticipated that the application packets would be released by ODOT around March 1^st with the full application due by May 1^st.  A decision on which applications are selected for funding would be expected by late summer or early fall.  Funding would be released for selected projects in the State’s 2015 budget year.

If the Village is authorized to submit a full application, the design of the preliminary plans would be prepared for the project (to ODOT’s specifications) and those plans would be prepared with input from the Burg Street neighborhood and the community.

A submission of a Letter of Interest does not bind the Village to submit a full application or to proceed with the project if approved; but without the submittal of the Letter of Interest, the project would not be eligible for Transportation Enhancement funding. 

All legislation is available for review at the Village Offices during regular business hours, which are normally 8:00am - 4:30pm, Monday through Friday. The Village Offices are located at 141 East Broadway.
