Rick Helwig, Assistant City Manager/Development Director May 27, 1997 Temporary Signalization -Three Intersections Initiated By: Mary L. Bearden, Economic Development Coordinator As an ongoing effort to support the City's economic vitality, emphasis has been placed on addressing concerns of our existing business community and being the best possible host for their business in Dublin. We are "listening" much better to the existing businesses of our city as we attempt to address their needs on a timely basis. ~ Transportation remains a major issue as companies move thousands of employees in and about the city. Signalization needs at various intersections are either in the CIP or have been identified in the City's traffic studies, but are usually not programmed or funded until related road improvements are completed. As a result of our aggressive road improvement campaign, traffic circulation may be curtailed during road construction. For this reason staff is suggesting the installation of three (3) temporary signals to help alleviate congestion and to address safety concerns. The intersections and associated costs are as follows: Blazer @ Rings $20,000.00 Rings @ Frantz $20,000.00 OCLC/Marriott entrance @ Post $20,000.00 The basis for the first two signals request is to help accommodate the increased traffic that will be generated at Tuttle with the opening of the mall, Ashland Chemical occupying their new 120,000 sq.ft. building, and the ever increasing employment by Nationwide. We have an Economic Development Agreement with Ashland Chemical, Inc. which contains a promise to provide improved Signalization at these two intersections. Please note that permanent improvements will be a part of the Rings Road widening project which will be triggered by Duke's second Rings Road building scheduled for 1998 or 1999. The road improvements may not be completed until the year 2000. The third signal is warranted in order to provide OCLC access to Post Road efficiently. Post Road improvements are scheduled to commence in July of this year and during construction it will be extremely difficult for OCLC's 1300+ employees, as well as businesses to the South, to access Post Road. The Frantz/Post Road improvements are scheduled to take a year to eighteen months to complete. Staff is recommending the installation of these three (3) temporary signals. Mary Bearden and I have discussed in recent weeks these longstanding needs with Mr. David D'Antoni of Ashland Chemical and Mr. Don Muccino of OCLC. We will be glad to prepare appropriate legislation for approval by the City Council to ensure that our local business community has a clear message of our highest commitment to economic development. cc: M Bearden arsha Grigsby
