Owner Objective
Green Street is a residential street on the east side of the village. The village is home to Perry schools, a school district that supports Perry Village, North Perry Village, and Perry Township. Green Street provides an alternate route to the school campus, so it carries a significant amount of traffic for a local street. Unfortunately, as a local street, the pavement is only 20 feet wide. This provides for a conflict with school traffic, school buses, garbage trucks, and delivery vehicles. The narrow pavement makes everyday use difficult.
CEC Approach
As the Village Engineer, CEC worked with village officials to understand the problem, determine the appropriate solution to the problem, estimate the cost to rectify the problem, and submit funding applications to obtain the funds to address the problem. CEC successfully obtained Ohio Public Works Commission grants and loans to supplement local funds to address the deficiencies. The street was widened to 24 feet total width and overlaid across the entire width to provide a smooth riding surface and to blend in the widened portion seamlessly.
It was also determined that the storm sewers on the south end of Green Street needed to be improved. CEC worked with Lake County Stormwater to identify drainage concerns and submitted a funding application to the Ohio Public Works Commission for funding. Funding was awarded under the Small Government Fund to replace the storm sewer system on the south end of Green Street. The storm sewer work was completed prior to the roadway portion of the project progressing.
The waterline on Green Street had also experienced a number of breaks over the past few years. CEC worked with Lake County Department of Utilities to schedule the waterline to be replaced. The existing 6” asbestos-cement waterline was replaced with an 8” PVC waterline. The waterline plans were prepared with the roadway plans to ensure the waterline would be installed before the roadway work, to keep from trenching through brand-new pavement.
