The expected demise of Senate Bill 155, reportedly at the direction of House Speaker Jason Stephens, is already leading regional planning officials to prepare to cancel a nearly $1 million study into whether the proposed interchange connecting Interstate 71 with Boston Road is the best way to ease traffic congestion in the area.
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Legislation that would repeal a state requirement to build a controversial highway interchange between Strongsville and Brunswick appears set to die in the Ohio House in the final days of the current legislative session, according to officials on both sides of the issue.
But the bill now has to pass the Ohio House before the current legislative session ends in a couple weeks. And Patton said his understanding, after talking with Stephens, is that the speaker isn’t going to bring up SB155 for a House floor vote. Harrison, a Medina County commissioner whose constituents include Brunswick residents , asked agency staff to research the ramifications of such a move ahead of the board’s next meeting in January.
Asked whether NOACA would halt work on the study until the legislature passes some sort of bill repealing Patton’s transportation budget language, Harrison said he hasn’t thought about that yet and didn’t know what other board members’ opinions would be.
