Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Transportation has been working with Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Village on the design of an upgraded traffic signal at the intersection of Bancroft, Indian & Secor. The existing traffic signal equipment is in worsening condition, and there are currently no pedestrian signals. As part of the project, the Village wishes to have decorative traffic signal poles/mast arms and pedestals installed to comply with their aesthetic standards. Since ODOT will not fund decorative items for this project, the Village has agreed to cover the cost of these items in the amount exceeding the cost of standard or non-decorative poles/mast arms and pedestals.
The Division of Transportation is requesting the acceptance, deposit, appropriation and expenditure of $43,163.60 from funds provided by the Village. This money will be used to purchase decorative poles/mast arms and pedestals for the intersection to comply with the Village’s aesthetic standards.
