Blueprint N. Linden – Roof Redirection: Oakland Park Medina

CIP# 650871-141003

This project will redirect or replace roof drain downspouts from selected homes in the project area. Roof drains will be redirected away from house foundations to the curb or other suitable outlet. The project is approximately bounded by Oakland Park Avenue on the north, Cleveland Avenue on the east, Weber Road on the South, and Medina Avenue on the west (project area map(PDF, 659KB)).

The goal of this project is to reduce stormwater from entering the sanitary sewer system.

Construction is expected to begin in first quarter of 2023 and complete by first quarter of 2024.

Each impacted resident will receive written notifications from the City's contractor prior to the work commencing. The notifications will give information on timing of the work and contact information.

Financing for this project is being provided through the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund Program with a below market-rate loan. Prior to granting this loan, the Ohio EPA required a detailed submittal from the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to determine the project's eligibility.
