HUBBARD — City council on Tuesday was given a time line of when to expect several road projects to begin.

Councilman Jerome Crowe, D-at Large, who oversees the city’s streets and sidewalks, explained to residents and council members during his report that the street committee discussed two major projects — Elmwood Drive and Roosevelt Drive, which is near Harding Park — at their meeting Feb. 4.

The committee is comprised of himself, Councilman Ryan Hallapy, D-at Large, and Councilwoman Cathy Cummings, D-4th Ward, although Mayor Ben Kyle, Councilwoman Bonnie Viele, D-1st Ward, and Councilwoman Robin Zambrini, D-2nd Ward, also attended the meeting, Crowe said.

Crowe explained to residents that the Elmwood Drive project is an Ohio Department of Transportation project, costing an estimated $575,000. ODOT will pay approximately $460,000, leaving the remaining $115,000 for the city to cover, he said.

Crowe said the local share is expected to be picked up with Issue 2 money, but the city still will have costs anywhere from $50,000 “possibly up to” $100,000 for the project.

Crowe said the Roosevelt Drive and Harding Park project is a city-township collaboration funded by the Ohio Public Works Commission, totaling $395,000. The city is expected to contribute $290,000, while the township will contribute the remaining balance.

While Crowe did not know what percentage the OPWC would pick up, Hallapy approximated it to be about $150,000.

Crowe said they’ve also looked at alternative streets to pave in the city with their remaining funds.

“The auditor tells me we have approximately $160,000 to play with and right now, our list includes Westview (Avenue), Fifth Avenue — the upper part, Extension Ravine, Helen (Drive), and Bella Vista (Drive),” he said. “Those are the alternate streets we’ll be looking at, and we’ll give those streets to the winning paver and get the estimates.”

Council President William Williams said the city should consider giving up Roosevelt Drive once they complete the paving.
