Detailed Fiscal Analysis
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) may incur minimal costs to install suitable plaques or signs along the designated portion of State Route 43 in Portage County. Current costs to manufacture, install, and maintain a single set of memorial plaques or markers at one location are estimated to be a few hundred dollars, depending on the size of the marker(s), equipment and materials needed to install them, and the frequency of maintenance.
When a highway or bridge is designated as a memorial, the Department's policy is to first install a memorial plaque in a rest area, scenic overlook, recreational area, or other appropriate location. If this is not practical, a marker is installed along the highway or near the bridge instead. Two plaques or two markers are usually installed, one in each direction at each location.
More often than not, ODOT erects markers for memorial highways named through legislation. However, if ODOT chooses not to install the plaques or markers, the City of Streetsboro in Portage County may install such markers along the designated portion of State Route 43 within its boundaries and would incur the expense for doing so.
