Urban Area Transportation Enhancement Program
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) annually allocates a portion of the state’s Transportation Enhancement (TE) funding to OKI for distribution within the region. During the period from 2000 through 2010, a total of 33 projects in OKI’s four Ohio counties, utilizing $14.1 million in TE funding, had been completed. In addition, five more are scheduled for sale in fiscal year 2011, three more are programmed for FY 2012, and one more is programmed for FY 2013. Two additional projects have been approved by the OKI Board and tentatively scheduled for FY 2013, but have not yet been programmed by ODOT. Furthermore, about five more projects are considered to be in active stages of development, and several of these should be ready for funding later in 2011. Finally, staff continues to work on an on-going basis with potential applicants/sponsors to advance their projects to the point of funding eligibility.
Specific projects completed during 2010 included streetscape projects in the Village of Glendale and Springfield Township, sidewalk projects on Buckwheat Road in Miami Township and on US 22 in Deerfield Township, and construction of a portion of the Ohio River Trail between Sutton Road and Five Mile Road in Anderson Township.
New projects, which are scheduled for construction during 2011, include streetscapes along Wooster Pike in Terrace Park, SR 4 in Fairfield, and SR 28 in Miami Township, and sidewalks on SR 28 in Miami Township and on Asbury Road in Anderson Township.
Projects scheduled to begin construction during 2012 include a gateway/streetscape at I-75 and SR 63 in Monroe, a portion of the Williamsburg - Batavia Trail in Williamsburg Township, and restoration of an historic covered bridge over Stonelick Creek in Clermont County.
