Bainbridge Road Hotline 440-337-1390

The Public Works Department is working toward providing important information to the residents as quickly as possible.  For that reason we have established a hot line dedicated to this effort.  Residents can now call 440-337-1390 to hear daily updates on any new activity associated with this project.  Additionally, we are requesting your email addresses for the purpose of establishing an “e-blast” system similar to what we are utilizing on our Pettibone Road Project.  This will allow us to communicate pertinent information immediately via the internet. 

If you would like to be included in a Bainbridge Road e-mail update list, please contact the Public Works Department at 440-349-6730 or send an e-mail to phenderson@solonohio.org with your name, street address, e-mail address and phone number.

As always, you can contact us at 440-349-6730.

Recently the City of Solon rescinded the temporary 20 MPH speed limit in both the Pettibone Road and Bainbridge Road Construction Zones back to 35 MPH. The City Administration is taking the necessary steps, as required, with the Ohio Department of Transportation in attempting to have these limits reduced upon commencement of construction activity this spring. We will communicate the results of this effort as they become available.

Please contact the following individuals should you have questions or concerns:

The relocation of some of the City’s tree lawn trees began this week.  Trees that could be potentially moved were marked with ribbon to provide location for OUPS (Ohio Utilities Protection Service) to mark utilities.  Those with minimal conflicts will be relocated.  Some have been moved to Portage Park while others will be moved to Grantwood.  Those with utility conflicts will be taken down during the clearing process.

Representatives from the County Engineer’s Office and CEI were out on Thursday, October 1st to mark all “Indiana Bat” trees and those in conflict with pole relocation.  These trees were marked with a white X at the following Bainbridge Road addresses, and will be removed in the next couple of weeks:   34495,  34750,  34830,  35140,  35750,  36000, and 36120.

A stump will remain to be removed when the road construction activity begins.  All other trees will be removed as part of the project contract next spring.
