YOU'RE INVITED TO LEARN ABOUT THE MIDDLE AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT


Mayor Brinda and her staff cordially invite you to attend a public presentation regarding the Middle Avenue Reconstruction Project during MAYOR’S NIGHT IN on Thursday evening April 3 from 6:00 – 7:00pm at Elyria City Hall second floor City Council Chambers – 131 Court Street.   Scheduled to begin this fall and completed in the summer of 2015, this federally, state and city funded project will be a major improvement to the downtown area and the southern entrance to the City.

Come learn about how the project is designed to improve the functionality, safety and appearance of Middle Avenue between Broad Street and Oberlin Road.  The modern Complete Street concept is being used that encourages and supports different types of transportation including vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles.  In addition, the road will be resurfaced with asphalt pavement, new sidewalk curb ramps will be constructed applying ADA standards, and the boulevard will be reconstructed removing and replacing street lighting, pavement markings, bike lanes and constructing enhanced crosswalks.


The city’s project partners will also be present from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Northeast Ohio Area Coordinating Agency (NOACA) to answer questions at the meeting.  Please join us.  If you have questions about this project and cannot attend the session, please contact City Engineer Tim Ujvari or Kathy McKillips at 326-1444.
