Foster, P.E., PTOE, Civil Engineer Summary Memo Re: Resolution No. 14 -16 — A Resolution Consenting to the City of Dublin Working Cooperatively with the Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation for the Upgrade and Maintenance of Traffic Signals The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Mid -Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPQ have been working with local communities throughout the region to identify low -cost safety improvement opportunities. Based on their analysis of crash data in the City of Dublin, they proposed to upgrade the traffic signal pedestrian displays with new Countdown Pedestrian Displays utilizing LED technology. MORPC and ODOT provided a list of potential intersections for consideration based on recent pedestrian - involved crash data. Eleven (11) locations were selected based on higher than average levels of pedestrian and bicycle traffic in proximity to parks, schools or traffic signals with features for pedestrians with accessibility issues. The primary treatment suggested by the project is for signalized intersections to replace existing pedestrian signals with new LED pedestrian signals with countdown displays that are active during the flashing upraised orange hand display. The intent of the countdown display is to inform the pedestrian how much time remains to complete their crossing of the roadway in the crosswalk. One unsignalized intersection was included to enhance the pedestrian markings to improve the visibility of the crosswalk to motorists turning across the pedestrians' and bicyclists' path. Post Road at Kilgour Place, which is shown in the map on the next page (Cj. This intersection is Resolution 14 -16 - Consent Agreement with ODOT for Upgrade /Maintenance of Traffic Signals March 3, 2016 Page 2 of 3 Ten (10) intersections, which are shown below, are proposed to receive the countdown pedestrian displays: O Shamrock Boulevard at West Dublin - Granville Road; O Avery- Muirfield Drive and Perimeter Drive; O Post Road and OCLC driveway; O Hard Road and Emerald Parkway; O Muirfield Drive and Tara Hill Drive; O Avery- Muirfield Drive and Perimeter Loop /Hospital Drive; O Rings Road and Blazer Parkway; O Emerald Parkway and Perimeter Drive; O Frantz Road and Metro Place North; and O Frantz Road at Paul G.

Resolution 14-16 - Consent Agreement with ODOT for Upgr tenance of Traffic Signals March 3,, 2016 Page 3 of 3 ODOT is currently working to design and begin construction for the project in 2017.
