Re: Post Road/Industrial Parkway/Eiterman Road Intersection Improvement
Request for City of Dublin Cooperation
Summary:
The Union County Engineer, Steve Stolte, P.E., P.S., has requested cooperation from the City of Dublin
in solving a mutual traffic concern existing at the Post Road/Industrial Parkway/Eiterman Road
intersection. Currently, all adjoining roads to this signalized intersection are two-lane with no
designated left-turn lanes. Additionally, the signal is not interconnected with those signals on Post Road
at the U.S. 33 interchange. Regarding jurisdictions of the adjoining roads, Post Road is State Route 161
under the responsibility ofODOT, Eiterman Road is within the City of Dublin corporate limits and
Industrial Parkway is Union County Road 1.
In 2000, ODOT funded an Intersection Operation Improvement Study to analyze the intersection and
determine if the intersection warrants signalization, and to recommend improvements to the traffic
signal and traffic control devices within 1000 feet of in each direction of the intersection. The
completed study dated August 2000 concluded the intersection warrants signalization, exclusive left-turn
lanes should be constructed on all approaches, the signal timing should be improved, and the length of
taper on the westbound approach should be increased from one lane to two to reduce the risk of rear-end
collisions (see attached exhibit). The estimated cost of the improvements is approximately $600,000.
Certainly ODOT recognizes the need for the improvements, however the project has not yet been
programmed for implementation. ODOT has indicated the project programming may occur sooner
based on local commitments and is willing to allow Union County to lead the project from design
through construction. Additionally, the Union County Engineer has had several discussions with
representatives of the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) regarding the availability of funds for
a portion of the improvements and preliminary indications are $150,000 may be available. Union
County has committed $50,000 toward construction, with ODOT expected to fund the remaining
$400,000.
The Union County Engineer is requesting the City of Dublin provide all the necessary professional
services up to and including the preparation of the detailed construction plans and specifications for the
project, estimated to be approximately $75,000. Also, construction inspection assistance by the City of
Dublin during the construction is being requested. Once the City of Dublin has indicated their
commitment to the project, the Union County Engineer and the Dublin City Engineer will approach

ODOT regarding the project programming. Thereafter, coordination with ODOD will commence and
the City can proceed with securing the engineering services necessary to design the improvement.
Recommendation:
Staff is requesting Council approval of Resolution 15-03 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an
agreement with the Union County Engineer for the purpose of improving the Post Road/Industrial
Parkway/Eiterman Road intersection. Further, Resolution 15-03 will authorize and direct the City
Manager to enter into any agreements as may be necessary and appropriate for obtaining financial
assistance for the improvement from either ODOT or ODOD.
