Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Program
This project will extend the Dave McKinney Avenue and create the opportunity for future development to provide parallel connectivity to Tryon Street from West Rocky River Road North to Carolyn Lane. Preliminary design will extend Dave McKinney Avenue from Rocky River Road West by 500 feet to the end of the school parking lot. In addition, the project team will complete a rough line/grade and acquire a right of way/permanent slope easement for the entire 850 feet of roadway needed to tie in to the Caldwell property. Final design and construction of the full 850 feet of roadway depends on the rezoning of the Caldwell parcel.
