Three major infrastructure projects planned in Ada this year
By Monty Siekerman
Three infrastructure projects are planned for Ada this year. They are:
Klingler Road Improvement
This will be similar to recent work done on Lima Avenue and Lincoln Avenue with new pavement, gutters, and curbs. The old pavement will be removed, replaced by a new 28-foot wide road from the railroad tracks south to Lima Avenue. Lighting will be installed, and a sidewalk will be constructed on the west side.
• Cost estimate: $1.2 million
• How Funded: Ohio Dept. of Transportation grant. The Village cost is only $100,000.
• Timeline: Begin in April, completed by Sept. 15. Attempts will be made to keep the road open during the work.
Safe Routes to Schools Project
Improve sidewalks, curb approaches, and ramps to make walking and biking to school safer. Project takes in Highland from Johnson to Grand, and Grand from Buckeye to Montford. This includes about 1,000 feet of new sidewalk on the west side of Grand.
• Estimated Cost: Under $250,000.
• How Funded: A federal grant has been approved, funding the entire cost.
• Timeline: Begin in August; complete in October.
Repair Village Sidewalks
Council has approved $20,000 in this year's budget to help property owners replace sidewalks.
• Estimated Cost: $20,000 from the Village and $20,000 from property owners. In essence, property owners can get a new sidewalk for half price.
• Timeline: Property owners need to submit a request to the Village by April 1. Applications are available at the city building and online. If more projects are submitted that the budget allows, the worse and most traveled walks will be selected.
These three 2015 infrastructure projects continue a long list of improvements that have occurred in Ada, year after year, for a long time.
