MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Tim Hansley, City Manager
DATE: February 16, 1994
SUBJECT: Resolution for 1-270 and US33/SR161 Interchange Landscaping
INITIA TED BY: Mary Newcomb, Graduate Landscape Architect
.
At the February, 1993, goal-setting session, Council identified the landscaping of the 1-270 and
US33/SR161 interchange as a goal for that year. Proposals for a conceptual landscape plan for
the interchange were sent out to a number of Landscape Architecture design firms in the spring
of 1993. After consultation with the Tree and Landscape Advisory Commission, the City
contracted with William Behnke and Associates, Landscape Architects, for the preparation of
the conceptual plan. Behnke and Associates completed the plan and, after receiving comments
from Staff and the Tree and Landscape Commission, is in the process of revising the plan.
On February 1, 1994 the City submitted an application for outside matching funds through the
Transportation Enhancement Program to finance this landscaping project. This program is
administered by the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the Ohio
Department of Transportation (ODOT). The application requires a resolution from Council
stating the City will share in the cost of the project and take responsibility for its maintenance.
The Transportation Enhancement Program is an 80/20 match. The estimated cost of the project
is $600,000 ($480,000 grant request from ODOT, $120,000 City qf Dublin share). A request
for bed tax funds in March, 1993, for this amount was turned down by the Finance Committee.
The Finance Committee recommended that the funds comes from the general fund. If funding
is received for the project, it is anticipated that the project will be started in the spring of 1995.
