Cuy SR 252-4.11 project in North Olmsted – the BPAC recommended that the sponsor includes high visibility crosswalks and pedestrian signals on Country Club Blvd. and at the Waterbury Apartments. The sponsor replied that all signalized intersections within the project limits will have and continue to have crosswalks for pedestrians. The project will include high visibility crosswalks through the use of lateral crosswalks. The sponsor stated adding pedestrian crossings to signalized intersections that do not currently have pedestrian signal heads are out of the scope and budget of this project. Mr. May stated the Transit Council supports this project and recommends the addition of a bus pad in the southbound lane for GCRTA’s bus route 75. ODOT District 3 IR-71 exit ramp project – the BPAC recommended that the sponsor includes a pedestrian warning sign for vehicles exiting I-71 at Route 303 as pedestrians approach the crosswalk. Regarding the safety program, Mr. Wong asked if there were funds available for an abnormal number of crashes between bicyclists and vehicles or pedestrians and vehicles. 7 Mr. Kubek informed Mr. Wong he would have an ODOT representative contact him with that information. Regarding the resurfacing project on SR-44, Mr. Bruce Landeg asked if the project would be coordinated with the Auburn-Crile Road Connector project after the new connector has been put in and the pavement has been moved over.
