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 is to accommodate growth as a result of recent retail development and correct deficiencies in pavement, drainage, shoulders and intersections. Scheduled for completion in 2010, the project, wth an estimated construction cost of $4.3 million, is designed to improve property access, traffic operations and public safety.

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

Design of the project is underway. KS Associates has been working with City officials to address property owner and stakeholder concerns, provide surveying for right of way acquistions, and prepare the necessary easements for the project.
