At the November 15 meeting, the Lucas County commissioners approved the plans, specifications and cost estimate for the installation of a sidepath on Airport Highway at I-475 in Springfield Township.
Michael Stormer, chief deputy engineer, said they are estimating the cost to be $380,000.
“The project will enhance the safety for pedestrians along Airport from West Mall Drive to Holland-Sylvania Road,” he explained.
Plans call for a new asphalt pavement side path, curb ramps, drainage improvement, earthwork and pavement markings.
It will be fully funded using transportation alternatives funding through the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments and a joint agreement with Springfield Township, Mr. Stormer noted.
