2 Have you previously received funding from the Turnpike Mitigation Program? Yes - The Sponsoring Agency has previously received Turnpike Mitigation Program funds No - The Sponsoring Agency has not previously received Turnpike Mitigation Program funds Project receiving previous funding commitment Status/Summary of project development of previous funding commitments Project Location Local Roadway Name or Route Number: Between Simmons Road & White Road Project Latitude Longitude Beginning End B_LAT E_LAT B_LONG E_LONG Click here to go to ODOT's Transportation Information Management (TIMS) application to locate the Latitude and Longitude beginning and end points for the project. For instructions on how to locate Latitude and Longitude using TIMS Click here. Description of Work - Please include a complete description of what the funding would construct, renovate or repair. Perrysburg Township has worked on a comprehensive plan detailing a noise abatement project. Funding from the Turnpike Mitigation Program would be used towards Phase 1 of this comprehensive noise abatement project. Phase 1 of this plan will construct a 16 foot high noise barrier in the right-of-way of the east side of Ohio Turnpike, from Simmons Road to White Road (.28 miles). Proximity to the turnpike - Eligible projects must be located within one mile of the Ohio Turnpike System. Please select the appropriate response: The project is adjacent to or within the right-of-way of the Ohio Turnpike System. The project is located within 1,000 feet of the Ohio Turnpike System. The project is located within 1 mile of the Ohio Turnpike System.

3 Routing / Access to the Turnpike - Please provide routing or driving directions from the project location to the nearest interchange with the Turnpike. The nearest interchange is Exit 64. From the project location--head west on Ford Road toward Gleneagles Road. Take the first left onto Simmons Road. Turn left onto OH-795 E/Avenue Road. Turn right onto the Interstate 75 N/Interstate 80/Interstate 90 ramp to Toledo. Take exit 195B for Interstate 80/Interstate 90/Ohio Turnpike. Project Mapping - A project location map must be submitted for each application. Project sponsors can upload a previously generated map or create a project map using ODOT's TIMS application. Click here to go to ODOT's TIMS and generate a map. For instructions on how to generate a map in TIMS Click Here.

Perrysburg Township Wood County Turnpike Impacts & Project Benefits Turnpike Impacts - Describe the impact the Ohio Turnpike System has on the affected location. Numerous studies illustrate the most pervasive sources of noise in our environment are those associated with transportation. According to The Ohio Department of Transportation, the annual average daily traffic for a segment of the Ohio Turnpike within the proposed project area is 28,330. Couple this with the added noise from continual maintenance performed on the Ohio Turnpike (i.e. construction of third lane) and a tremendous amount of noise emanates from this segment of road* Within a one mile radius of the project area there are approximately 1,903 households; multiply this by the average household size from the 2010 United State Census, 2.58, and this equals approximately 4,909 individuals being affected by the noise emanating from the Ohio Turnpike. The total residential population of Perrysburg Township is 12,512, therefore noise emanating from this stretch of the Ohio Turnpike affects almost 40% of residents within this jurisdiction. Within the last few years the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission has acknowledged the noise problem in this stretch of highway*. Officials from both the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission and the Ohio Department of Transportation met with local residents to discuss the noise problem on March 7, 2011***. Further, many residents have expressed their support towards noise abatement in this stretch of the Ohio Turnpike, as illustrated in a petition submitted to the Wood County Engineer's Office in January 2014****. *Refer to Third-Lane Noise Analysis Worksheet and Pre-Construction Noise Measurements ed to Mr. Gates ** Refer to Noise Sensitive Areas documents ed to Mr. Gates *** Refer to the sign in sheet from this open forum ed to Mr. Gates **** Refer to the signed petition ed to Mr. Gates

4 Project Benefits - How will the proposed project correct the impact? Constructing noise walls will create a barrier between the Ohio Turnpike and the residential areas in Perrysburg Township. Noise walls reduce the sound coming from a heavily traveled highway by absorbing the sound, transmitting it, and reflecting it back across the highway. Studies have illustrated effective noise walls can reduce noise levels by 5 to 10 decibels. This reduction equals lowering the sound of traffic noise by as much as one half. Further, noise walls tend to reduce other effects of highways on a community such as litter and dust. Finally noise walls can shield the view of traffic which can have a positive affect on the community. The reduction in negative effects of a highway will produce a quieter environment as well as improve the quality of life for those in the surrounding community.

The right-of-way and utilities phase only includes money to relocate any utilities in conflict with the project. The project will be located in the right-of-way of the Ohio Turnpike with no additional right-of-way anticipated. Construction estimate is based off of a noise barrier cost study by ODOT District 12 in Costs were inflated 20% to 2015 values. A 16 foot high noise barrier estimated cost calculated to $ per foot. Perrysburg Township, Ohio will give a $50,000 local share towards the construction costs.
