Detailed Fiscal Analysis

 

The Ohio Department of Transportation may experience costs of $500 or more to install or modify memorial plaques or signs along State Route 11 in Ashtabula County.  Currently, it costs approximately $500 to manufacture, install, and maintain a single set of memorial plaques or signs at one location.  However, since this portion of State Route 11 under the bill is already designated the "Lake to River Highway," current signs with this designation may be modified or new ones installed to include the designation of "Marine Private Henry Kalinowski Memorial Highway."

 

When a bridge or highway is designated as a memorial, the Department's policy[1] is to first install a memorial plaque in a rest area, scenic overlook, recreational area, or other appropriate location.  If installation of a plaque is not practical, a sign is installed along the mainline instead.  At one location two plaques or two signs are usually installed, one in each direction.  ODOT installs plaques and signs on the state highway system outside municipal boundaries.

 

Various municipalities with the specific portions of State Route 11 running through their boundaries may experience similar costs for choosing to install and/or modify and maintain similar plaques or signs.  Any costs incurred by municipalities are considered permissive. Currently, the specific municipalities in Ashtabula County that have portions of State Route 11 running through its boundaries are unknown.
