Phone: 614 - 410 -4400 • Fax: 614 -410 -4490 Memo To: Members of Dublin City Council From: Marsha Grigsby, Interim City Manager Date: October 21, 2010 Initiated By: Paul A. Hammersmith, PE, Director of Engineering/City Engineer Jean -Ellen M. Willis, PE, Engineering Manager - Transportation Re: Resolution No. 51 -10 ODOT Consent Legislation — Median Cable Barrier Background The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has identified the need to install median cable barrier on US -33 from SR- 161 /Post Road in Union County to I -270 in Franklin County. Median cable barrier was first approved for use in Ohio in 2003 on I -75, between Cincinnati and Dayton. Since 2003, ODOT has installed about 275 miles of median cable barrier. Median cable barriers in Ohio are installed to prevent cross -over type median crashes. This barrier system helps "capture" vehicles to prevent them from traveling across the median into oncoming traffic or from bouncing back into traffic traveling the same direction. Locations where cable median barriers have been installed commonly see an increase in the total number of crashes involving the median. This increase results from motorists straying off the roadway and paved shoulder, and continuing into the median contacting the cable barrier before being able to attempt to regain control of their vehicle. However, these crashes are far less severe than the cross - median crashes that cable barrier prevents. Currently, median cable barrier is installed on I -270, from the I- 270 /US -33 /SR -161 interchange south through Hilliard. Prior to installation of the median cable barrier, the average number of cross -median fatalities was one per year. Since the installation of the cable barrier in 2004, no cross - median fatalities have occurred. However, the barrier is struck by vehicles approximately 44 times per year. All costs associated with the State's highway improvement project will be paid for one hundred percent (100 %) by ODOT. Any features requested by the City of Dublin, which are not necessary Res. 5 1 -10 - ODOT Consent Legislation — Median Cable Barrier October 21, 2010 Page 2 of 2 for the improvements, as determined by the State and Federal Highway Administration, will be paid for one hundred percent (100 %) by the City of Dublin. Staff has not requested any features be added at this time. As indicated in the legislation, upon completion of the median cable barrier installation, ODOT will be responsible for the on -going maintenance and repair of the median cable barrier. In particular, ODOT will be responsible for the re- tensioning and repair of the cable barrier after being damaged or disturbed by an accident or contact by a vehicle leaving the freeway. The City of Dublin will continue to perform the mowing, litter collection and removal, snow plowing and removal, and pavement marking maintenance along this segment of US -33 /SR -161. Recommendation Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 51 -10 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement between the City of Dublin and the Ohio Department of Transportation for the installation of a cable barrier in the median of US -33 from SR -161 /Post Road to the I- 270 /US- 33 /SR -161 interchange, in accordance with the legislation from ODOT.
