Sidewalk planned for SR 32 in Anderson Twp.

Township trustees recently passed a resolution to work with the Ohio Department of Transportation to build the sidewalk in the right of way, which is owned by the state.
Paul Drury, director of the Planning and Zoning Department, said the sidewalk is in the preliminary stages and will be across from the Estates of Signal Hill subdivision.
The sidewalk will likely be on the business side of Ohio 32, near Speedway, and connect to the EME Fence Co. property and city of Cincinnati parking area.
Drury said the Estates of Signal Hill will eventually become a township street if accepted as a subdivision by Hamilton County.
Part of the requirement for new township streets, Drury said, is having sidewalks on both sides of the road and often the funds for sidewalks on individual lots are part of a homeowner’s association fee.
He added that in some circumstances funding usually used to construct sidewalks along individual lots can be put aside to build a sidewalk off-site – in this case, it’s on state Route 32.
Drury said there are plans to connect that sidewalk to the Little Miami Scenic Trail and place a crosswalk at the intersection of Estates of Signal Hill Lane and state Route 32.
