County/Route/Section No.: SUM CR 66-02.29
Project Identification No. (PID): 82594
Communities: Springfield Township and Village of Lakemore
Project Limits: Sanitarium Road to Waterloo Road
Description of Work: The purpose of this project is to improve the safety and operation of Canton Road between Sanitarium Road (CR 136) and Waterloo Road (US 224) by implementing countermeasures recommended by a Safety Study (dated August 29, 2006) prepared by the Summit County Engineer and approved by ODOT.
The recommended countermeasures include the following:
1. Widening of Canton Road to 5 lanes.
2. Providing standard 12-foot lane widths.
3. Designating the center lane as a continuous two-way left turn lane between Sanitarium Road and Arcadia Road, except at intersections where a dedicated left turn lane or right turn lane is required.
4. Constructing a 6-inch high, 3-foot wide concrete median between Arcadia Road and Waterloo Road (US 224).
5. Installing a new traffic signal at Springfield Lake Road.
6. Prohibiting left turns from Calvin Street, Meadow Drive and Brittany Pointe, and other locations, including driveways, as deemed appropriate.
7. Correcting vertical curve deficiencies along Canton Road.
8. Constructing combination curb and gutter to define access points to properties adjacent to Canton Road.
9. Constructing sidewalk along Sanitarium Road from the entrance to the Hidden Lakes Development to the driveway entrance at Springfield High School.
10. Constructing an 8-foot wide asphalt bike path/sidewalk along the west side of Canton Road between Sanitarium Road and the north entrance to the Tri-County Plaza.
11. Constructing a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the west side of Canton Road from the north entrance to the Tri-County Plaza to Waterloo Road (US 224).
Other improvements include installing storm sewers; upgrading the traffic signals at Sanitarium Road and at the entrance to Tri-County Plaza; interconnecting the traffic signals along Canton Road at Sanitarium Road, the entrance to Tri-County Plaza, Springfield Lake Road and Waterloo Road; replacing the bridge/box culvert (SPR 66-0320, SFN 7752121) over Cornell Creek; salvaging pavement and making pavement repairs, as required; resurfacing; installing pavement markings; and replacing traffic signs, with all appurtenances thereto.
As an alternate to the roadway improvements outlined above, the construction of roundabouts at the Canton Road/Arcadia Road/Meadow Drive intersection, in front of Tri-County Plaza, and at Sanitarium Road are being considered. Canton Road would be reconstructed as 4 lanes (2 lanes each way) with a center raised and landscaped median.
Maintenance of Traffic: Traffic will be maintained at all times during construction.
