US 35 Corridor Improvements
Montgomery County
In 2004, the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission in cooperation with ODOT, conducted the US 35 Corridor Major Investment Study (MIS), to identify improvements to the US 35 corridor from I-75 to I-675.
The current project, MOT-35-18-57, focuses on the recommendations of the MIS for US 35 between Steve Whalen Boulevard and the I-675 interchange (see study area) following ODOT's Project Development Process (PDP). The PDP provides a framework for decision making to take a project from the planning stages to construction. The project is currently moving through the environmental analysis and preliminary engineering phases.
The purpose of the project is to:
- Reduce peak hour congestion and
- Improve safety throughout the corridor by
- Correction geometric deficiencies,
- Improving lane continuity, and
- Reducing crashes
Public Meeting Notification, August 27, 2009
In its ongoing efforts to improve the safety and efficiency of the transportation network, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is working on a project to improve United States Route 35 from the Steve Whalen interchange to Interstate 675. As with any project, input and involvement from the public is vital to the successful development of solutions. The MOT-35-18.57 project is following ODOT’s 10-Step Project Development Process for Minor Projects. Up to this point, ODOT and its consultant team have worked closely with local officials and stakeholders to develop and evaluate improvement alternatives for the corridor.
The public was invited to attend a meeting at Carroll High School from 4:00pm to 7:00pm on Thursday, August 27, 2009 to review the alternatives and evaluation criteria, and to share any questions, concerns, or other input regarding the project. The meeting was held in an open house format with exhibits of the alternatives and data collected on hand for review. Representatives from ODOT and project consultant team were available to respond to questions and comments, as well as comment sheets which can be completed and submitted below.
Information presented at the meeting:
- Comparison of Alternatives
- Project Phasing
- Corridor Alternative 1
- Corridor Alternative 2
- Corridor Alternative 3
- Recommended Alternative – Steve Whalen to Smithville
