Community Details

40. Community Need The project will address roadway safety and congestion issues at the intersection of South Limestone Street and Leffel Lane. This portion of the project is part of the TCC's South Limestone Corridor Plan, which was completed in December 2016. The Plan is a full corridor vision that included extensive public involvement. The intersection and corridor are currently ranked as priority highway safety locations by the TCC and the intersection is also a statewide urban intersection priority as ranked by ODOT.

The project's landscaping component will enhance the southern gateway to the city. In 2018, ODOT began widening Interstate 70 between US Route 68 and State Route 72. As part of the widening, the existing Interstate bridges are being replaced and the new decks will be enhanced with minor aesthetic improvements. The landscaping will tie together committed Interstate investment, potential new development to the south of the Interstate, and redevelopment and public investment to the north of the Interstate.

41. Previous Funding: Has the requesting organization received Congressionally earmarked funding in the past? If so, please provide a brief project description, year funded, amount, and Congressional sponsor.
