The City of Lorain selected KS Associates to design and prepare construction plans for the widening and resurfacing of Jaeger Road. The goal of the project was to accommodate growth as a result of retail development and correct deficiencies in pavement, drainage, shoulders and intersections. The project, with an estimated construction cost of $4.3 million, was designed to improve property access, traffic operations and public safety.

Plans called for reconstructing the roadway with concrete pavement, installing curbs and adding extra wide sidewalks along both sides of the road. The project also included the addition of turning lanes at the Kolbe Road and Leavitt Road intersections.

KS Associates worked with City officials to address property owner and stakeholder concerns, provided surveying for right of way acquistions, and prepared the necessary easements for the project.

The design phase is complete and construction will begin in 2013.
