GlenBridge Enhancement Project -

Boardman will benefit from a Transportation Enhancement grant from the Eastgate Regional Council of Governments which will upgrade a bridge on Glenwood Avenue in the Township. The Boardman Township trustees supported the filing of the application by the County Engineer�s office and also pledged the Township�s commitment to provide some of the engineering costs associated therewith.

The existing bridge was constructed in 1952 as part of a Glenwood Ave. roadway extension project. The bridge is a 32� long single span steel beam structure that carries four (4) lanes of traffic over Krieder�s entrance to Mill Creek Park. The abutments and wing walls are faced with an ornamental sandstone brick which compliments other similar structures in the nearby park. Though built with sidewalks for future considerations, no walkway was ever extended down Glenwood Ave.

Brookwood Ave. has a partial sidewalk, and Mill Creek Rd. has none. The sidewalks that come off of Overhill Dr. and Newport Dr. end some 20�from the curb line. All abutting streets have sidewalks that lead thru the neighborhoods and eventually to the commercial areas of Market Street. Along Mill Creek Rd. is St. Mark�s Church, and the Krieder�s entrance to Mill Creek Park is off of Brookwood Ave. Neither one of these features is safely accessible by pedestrians. �The Glen� area of Boardman Township is a designated Historic District and abuts this project to the east. This area is filled with lamp post lighting that gives The Glen its distinctive characteristic. Traffic counts in the project area consist of Glenwood Ave. at nearly 11,000 vehicles per day. Brookwood and Mill Creek are estimated at 2,000 and 800 respectively.
