Elm Street proposed project-ODOT TAP Grant funded
ELM STREET PROJECT COMPLETE !!!
The Ohio Department of Transportation and contractor Axis Civil Construction have almost completed the Elm Street improvement project to provide safe and efficient access to Athens High School for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles. The project started as an ODOT Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) grant application in 2018. The majority of the funding ($551,897) was through the TAP program with Athens Township picking up the remainder ($238,528). The picture above shows the bike lane on the right side, a 5′ wide, ADA compliant sidewalk on the left side, new street pavement and striping as well as new curb and gutter drainage. Yet to be installed along the sidewalk is energy efficient LED, cut-off fixture street lighting.
THANK YOU ODOT AND AXIS CIVIL CONSTRUCTION form bringing this project in before the start of the school year!!!

LEMASTER ROAD PROJECT COMPLETE
Athens and Dover Townships partnered to repave Lemaster Road from Poston Road (County Road 110) to Connett Road (Township Road 256) in order to provide additional safe access from the US 33/SR 682 interchange to the new Plains Intermediate School. The road portion from Poston Road south is in Dover Township and the portion from Connett Road north is in Athens Township. Because the Intermediate School serves the entire school district most of the students will be bused in or dropped off by private vehicles. Lemaster Road provides alternative access from SR 682 via Connett Road.
THANK YOU MCKEE PAVING for bringing this project in before the start of the school year!!!
