On December 14, 2007, the NOACA Governing Board approved the following regarding this project: Resolution No. 2007-042 Project Planning Review Resolution No. 2007-043 Plan and TIP Amendment Title: Resurfacing SR-3 in Medina County Sponsor: Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)-District 3 PID No: 25683 Estimated Total Cost: $1,653,100 Proposed Source of Federal Funds: Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Current Conditions: Outside the City of Medina, SR-3 (Wooster Pike) is functionally classified as a rural minor arterial. SR-3 is a two-lane facility with lanes twelve feet (12’) wide and shoulders one foot wide. The existing pavement width is 26 feet. Within the City of Medina, SR-3 (South Court Street) is functionally classified as an urban minor arterial. It is a two-lane facility with lanes twelve feet (12’) wide (three lanes, twelve feet wide at the intersections) and sidewalks five feet wide. The existing pavement width varies between 26 and 36 feet. The width existing right-of-way is 60 feet. The posted speed limit is 55 miles per hour (mph). Average daily traffic (ADT) is 10,330 vehicles per day with seven percent trucks (2004 count), and the projected (i.e. 2014) ADT is 11,360 vehicles per day. Proposed Project: This project involves resurfacing 7.16 miles of SR-3, from 0.11 mile south of the I-76 ramps, to US-42 (Lafayette Road) in Seville, Guilford Township, Montville Township and Medina. The total construction cost is estimated to be $1,653,100. Eighty percent ($1,322,480) of the construction cost will be funded from State Surface Transportation Program (S/STP) funds. ODOT will fund the twenty-percent ($330,620) non-federal share of construction. The sponsor estimates the project can be awarded in State Fiscal Year 2008. Staff Comment (Summary): Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Team: Project will satisfy Goal #1 (System Preservation and Management) of ODOT’s Access Ohio and Goal #3 (Preserve and Improve the Efficiency of the Transportation System) of NOACA’s Connections 2030. Advance to committee and public review with the understanding that the sponsor will make a good-faith effort to address questions and comments. Regional Transportation System (RTS) Team: The 2006 pavement condition rating (PCR) ranges from 53-65 (Fair-Poor) and is projected to degrade to 47-55 (Poor) in 2009. This section of SR-3 is categorized as for intermediate cyclists at the north part in the City of Medina, and for experienced cyclists only on the rest of this section of the roadway on the Medina County Bike Transportation Map. 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. "The State Route 3 resufacing project in Medina County is definitely a much-needed improvement. I travel this road daily and have seen significant degradation in the road surface in the past two years. I support this project. I am not familiar with the other proposed project in Medina County. Thank you for the opportunity to comment". - Medina County Park District 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) This project is resurfacing only and there are no restriping options. There is no recommendation at this time. When major reconstruction work is done, provide at least 4’ wide paved shoulders. Regional Transportation Investment Subcommittee (RTIS)/Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC): No comments; recommended for amendment to NOACA's Transportation Plan and TIP.
