GREEN TOWNSHIP, HAMILTON COUNTY

The Harrison Avenue project involved pavement rehabilitation, widening narrow travel lanes and adding sidewalks between Wesselman Road and the Harrison Greene Retail Center. The project included a center turn lane and a slide repair. Initial plans anticipated that the project would involve a property relocation which would have elevated the project to a higher category of Categorical Exclusion. During preliminary design work, L&A prepared appropriate tasks on parallel tracks for a lower-level C2 and a higher-level D1 to maintain the project schedule as design decisions were finalized. L&A prepared a Public Engagement Plan and assisted with preparing for and conducting a Public Meeting that would meet public outreach requirements for either document type. Ultimately, L&A prepared a C2 document for ODOT’s approval, along with supporting ecological and regulated materials studies.
