On June 8, 2007, the NOACA Governing Board approved the following regarding this project: Resolution No. 2007-019 Project Planning Review Resolution No. 2007-020 Plan and TIP Amendment Title: Resurfacing SR-17 in Brooklyn Heights and Independence and SR-21 in Valley View, Independence and Cuyahoga Heights Sponsor: ODOT 12 PID No: 81911 Estimated Total Cost: $1,727,000 Proposed Source of Federal Funds: ODOT History/Background: This project is included in the ODOT District 12 state fiscal year (SFY) 2009 Urban Paving Program. Current Conditions: SR-17 (Granger Road) is functionally classified as an urban minor arterial. SR-17 is a four-lane facility with a pavement width of forty-eight feet. The lanes are twelve feet wide and the sidewalks are six feet wide. The average daily traffic (ADT) on SR-17 is 11,170 vehicles per day with 2.6 percent trucks (2003 count). The speed limit is 35 miles per hour. SR-21 (Brecksville Road) is functionally classified as an urban minor arterial. SR-21 is a four-lane facility with a pavement width of forty-eight feet. The lanes are twelve feet wide. The average daily traffic (ADT) along this section of SR-21 is 16,600 vehicles per day (Cuyahoga County Traffic Counts prepared by NOACA, 2006). Proposed Project: This project involves mill and fill of SR 17 from the Brooklyn Heights west corporation line (WCL) to SR-21, in Brooklyn Heights and Independence, and also SR-21, from the CSX railroad bridge to IR-77, in Valley View, Independence and Cuyahoga Heights. The work will also include all the ramps in the cloverleaf. The estimated construction cost is $1,727,000. Eighty percent of the construction cost ($1,381,600) will be funded with State Surface Transportation Program (S/STP) funds. Cleveland will fund twenty percent of the construction cost ($345,400). The project is expected to be awarded in April 2010. Staff Comment (Summary): Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Team: The proposed improvement meets Goal #3 (Preserve and Improve the Efficiency of the Transportation System) of NOACA’s Connections 2030 and Goal #1 (System Preservation and Management) of ODOT’s Access Ohio. Move for committee and public review in order to obtain comments. Regional Transportation System (RTS) Team: The 2004 pavement condition ratings (PCRs) on the SR-17 portion of this project range between 67-86 (fair to good condition). If no maintenance work is done, the PCRs in 2009 (the planned construction year) is projected to range between 46-64 which puts this section of roadway in the poor to fair-poor categories. The 2004 PCRs on the SR-21 portion of this project range between 60-69 (fair-poor to fair condition). If no maintenance work is done, the PCRs in 2009 (the planned construction year) is projected to range between 40-48 which puts this section of roadway in the poor category. There is one bus route (No. 77F) on this section of SR-21 with 65 buses per day (2005 data). Information on shoulder width was not included on the Supplementary Form, but it was noted in the field that there were paved shoulders, ~4’ and wider. ODOT 12 reports that these will be paved along with the traffic lanes. RTS Team recommendation is to provide at least 4’ paved shoulders on SR-17. Plan Forecast Team: This is a preservation project in non-Urban Core Communities. Intergovernmental Review and Consultation (IGRC): If you are a representative of a governmental entity and would like to comment on this project, please email us. Public Involvement: NOACA encourages comments from the public on this proposed transportation improvement project. Please notify us if you would like to be added to our e-mail notification list for future updates. Committee Review: Bicycle Advisory Council (BAC): In addition to the RTS Team comment above, designate the 4’ paved shoulders as bike lanes by adding the appropriate markings. Regional Transportation Investment Subcommittee (RTIS)/Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC): No comments; recommended for amendment to NOACA's Transportation Plan and TIP.
