Road upgrades planned for Lake Ave and South Broadway
County plans two 5 million road improvement programs to widen Lake Avenue to four lanes from Griswald Head to Elyria Avenue and widen South Broadway to Rt. 254. Councilman YoMe-Winchy says contracts must be let by January 1, 1979 to secure 70 percent federal funding, with 30 percent local match. Lake Avenue delay stems from EPA approval, with original 1964 estimate at 1 million now 2 million due to rising costs.

Lake Avenue plans approved with state funds
McGlinchy said Lake Avenue rights of way were completed about five years ago and approved. Right of way issues should be cleared by August with the project ready for contract then. The South Broadway project, valued around 3 million dollars, has more right of way hurdles but could be contracted late next year as Lorain County commissioners work with the engineer to start before state funds expire.
