Authorizing the expenditure of $20,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund District Improvement Program for the South Toledo Gateway Project; authorizing the Mayor to execute the necessary contracts; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The South Toledo Gateway Project aims to elevate one of the City’s primary gateways from Maumee through the installation of repurposed TOLEDO letters positioned prominently above the Anthony Wayne Trail on the Chessie Circle Trail bridge. This collaborative project is being undertaken in partnership with Metroparks Toledo, which will install complementary signage adjacent to the City’s iconic letters, further enhancing the significance of this gateway into the City. The District Improvement Review Committee convened on December 7, 2023, and recommended approval of this application in an amount of $20,000.
