Ohio’s Olmsted Falls — Olmsted Falls has been hard at work on its road program for 2025, which includes improvements worth up to $350,000.
About $250,000 of the work, according to Olmsted Falls Service Director Joe Borczuch, consists of spot concrete repairs across the city, with the remaining portion going toward asphalt work.
On Orchard Street and Garfield Avenue, the asphalt work consists of mill-and-fill repaving along with any necessary full-depth repairs.
While the latter is 2,500 feet long, the former is 700 feet.
According to Olmsted Falls Service Director Joe Borczuch, the concrete program is almost finished, and the (asphalt) milling and paving is currently taking place. He also mentioned that it had been nearly 15 years since Orchard Street and Garfield Avenue were repaved.
The city hires workers from the service department to finish asphalt projects in order to save money.
According to Olmsted Falls Mayor James Graven, “we have a great annual road improvement program that keeps our streets in excellent shape.”
I’m pleased of our Service Department staff because they work hard to make our streets safer for our citizens.
Looking ahead, the repaving of Columbia Road south of Bagley Road, which is planned for next year, continues to be the largest infrastructure project facing Olmsted Falls.
The great majority of the planned $3.8 million will be covered by the newly allocated $3 million in federal funds to update the 1.5-mile section of road that hasn’t been upgraded in about 15 years.
