LOR-elyria VAR tlci VI

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) $184,506 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on August 8, 2025, to support pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements in the City of Elyria, Lorain County, Ohio. The project, designated LOR-ELYRIA VAR TLCI VI, will deliver bike racks, sharrows (shared lane markings), wayfinding signage, and underpass lighting designed to enhance multimodal connectivity and pedestrian safety within the city. Work is scheduled for completion by April 1, 2029.

ODOT sub-awarded funding to the City of Elyria Finance Director's Office on September 19, 2025, to implement pedestrian facilities improvements as part of this infrastructure initiative. These investments align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's statutory authority to support bicycle and pedestrian projects under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, enabling communities to develop safer, more accessible transportation networks for non-motorized users.
