Comments on Cooper Foster Park Road repairs due Friday

Comments on proposed Cooper Foster Park Road repairs in Amherst and Lorain are due Friday, ahead of construction expected to begin in spring 2027.

The project would run from North Main Street to 450 feet west of Sharondale Drive, according to Amherst's public notice, posted Sept. 30.

The cities propose concrete slab replacement, pavement repairs and diamond grinding. The work would also replace curb ramps, install sections of sidewalk and add a rectangular rapid-flashing beacon at Meadowview Lane.

The notice says work would remain within the public right of way and traffic would be maintained during construction. It does not give a project cost or completion date.

Comments must be received by Oct. 30. Send them to Mayor Mark Costilow, 206 S. Main St., Amherst, Ohio 44001; email mayor@amherstohio.org; or call 440-988-4380.
