In September 2011, the county Board expanded the services eligible for the Urban Road Maintenance District funding to include construction of safety improvements (sidewalks and paths, bike lanes, protective barriers, etc.). All roads under county jurisdiction within the District are eligible for safety improvements, including Arterials and Collectors. The amount of funding allocated for safety improvements in any given year will be determined during the annual budget process. The URMD Advisory Committee will have input into selection of safety improvement projects.

Aaron Clodfelter is the Project Manager for the 111th and Rainmont projects. He says the design drawings are done, and construction should begin this summer.

He also says, “There are a few other projects in the Cedar Mill area that may be of interest to your readers. We are constructing a short section of sidewalk north of the McDonalds on Murray Rd. That will also take place this summer. There is also a project on McDaniel Road from Hardin Court to Arnott Lane and one on Leahy Road. Those projects are in the recommended status. If they are approved by the Board of Commissioners they are scheduled to be constructed next year.
