NOACA Board Adopts Revised Resolution 2007-035 Approving the Avon Interchange PPR and Plan Amendment on October 12, 2007 Background The city of Avon, Ohio, has proposed the construction of a new interchange on I-90 at Nagel Road in Lorain County and has engaged professional consultants to prepare a Major Investment Study (MIS) for this project. Here are some pertinent facts related to the interchange proposal. The proposed interchange is to be constructed using local funds. No federal funding has been requested. The project is located on the federal highway system and is, therefore, subject to the metropolitan transportation planning process. NOACA is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) serving a five-county region that includes Lorain County. Therefore, the NOACA Governing Board must decide if this project should be added to the region’s transportation plan, Connections 2030. The City of Avon and its consultants have submitted substantial documentation for this project. Due to the complexity of this proposal, the NOACA Governing Board called for an analysis of the proposed interchange in relation to the agency’s adopted principles and goals. NOACA’s Executive Committee has selected a consultant to conduct this analysis. The scope of services for the consultant contract and documentation from the City of Avon’s consultant, plus presentations to NOACA’s Board and TAC are available on the Documents and Feedback page.
