Vine and Erkenbrecher project to begin spring 2008

Work on a new segment of the Vine Street Improvement Project will begin next spring and should wrap up by December 2008.

The $4.6 million project will rebuild Vine Street between Nixon and Erkenbrecher avenues.

A major portion of the job will be the realignment of the Vine-Erkenbrecher intersection. Other work includes the widening of Vine Street to five lanes with a continuous left-turn lane, and new curbs, sidewalks, trees, lighting and traffic signals. Curb lanes will be bike-friendly.

Recently, City Manager Milton Dohoney submitted to Council a resolution declaring the City's intent to acquire portions of six properties along the eastern side of Vine Street for the project.

Land to be appropriated includes portions of the following*:

* 3250 Vine St: 20,258 square feet of 16.66 acres (4 parcels)
* Vine St: 1,546 square feet of 0.419 acres (1 parcel)**
* 15 Erkenbrecher Ave: 195 square feet of 0.173 acres (1 parcel)

The project is funded by a $2.61 million Ohio Public Works Commission grant and City capital funds.
