Public Meeting Set for Aicholtz Connector Project

The Clermont County Transportation Improvement District (CCTID), in cooperation with the Clermont County Engineer’s Office, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and Union Township, will host an open house meeting to obtain public input for the Aicholtz Connector Project. The open house will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2009 from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the Union Township Civic Center, located at 4350 Aicholtz Road.

The Aicholtz Connector Project will evaluate the corridor between Mount Carmel-Tobasco Road at Old SR 74 and Eastgate Boulevard; recommendations will then be made for transportation improvements and a new connection under I-275. The project will address roadway improvements, pedestrian facilities, and preservation of a corridor for future rail transit.

Exhibits of the study corridor will be on display at the meeting and representatives from Clermont County, ODOT, Union Township, and the project team will be available to answer questions and gather comments. Citizens are welcome to attend at any time during the two-hour open house; comment sheets will be provided.
