Valley View & Hines Hill Sidewalk

Project Background

The Valley View / Hines Hill Sidewalk is part of the Sidewalk and Trail Master Plan for 2021-2025 that Council approved a number of years ago. The Plan provides a continued effort to provide safe and practical community-wide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity in the community. Other remaining sections scheduled as part of the 2021-2025 Connectivity Plan include Middleton Road from Valley View to SR 91 (2024), W. Streetsboro Road from Terex Road to W. Case Drive (2024), Ravenna Street from S. Hayden Parkway to Stow Road (2025) and Stow Road from Ravenna Street to E. Streetsboro Street (2025). During development of the 2021-2025 Plan, a scoring matrix , developed via public input, evaluated these sections which received high scores due to their connectivity to existing neighborhoods, trails, and streets with higher speeds. Recognizing the importance of connectivity, the Hudson City Council prioritized these streets, aiming to advance the City's commitment to fostering a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly environment.

Project Update

This spring, City staff discussed the proposed sidewalk alignments along Hines Hill Road (Glastonbury to Valley View) and Valley View Road (Hunting Hollow Dr to Hines Hill Road). During the discussion, it was identified that a third sidewalk alignment along Valley View Road from Hines Hill Road to Middleton Road should also be evaluated.

The preliminary alignment evaluation for the sidewalk alignment along Valley View Road from Hines Hill Road to Middleton Road has been completed and will be presented at a public open house meeting on July 22, from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Hudson City Hall. At the public open house, residents will be able to review concept plans for the new sidewalk and discuss questions or concerns with City staff.

The City will collect public comments before presenting the final recommended alignment to Hudson City Council later this summer. After the final sidewalk alignment is established, the City’s design consultant will finalize the detailed design drawings for the project and the City will bid the project this fall.

Project Details

The City of Hudson is planning a new concrete sidewalk project along Valley View Road and Hines Hill Road. The sidewalk will be constructed from Hunting Hollow Drive to the intersection of Hines Hill Road and Valley View Road, then extend down Hines Hill Road to Glastonbury Drive.

There will be no cost to homeowners for the construction of these sidewalks.

Share I am a Valley View Road resident coming in far too late to this thread. But... 1. The comment referencing that the "95 homes within the neighborhood feel as though we are being punished or completely ignored."- was this validated with a signed petition of 95 owners ( the total number of homes in the HOA) that I never saw? How many attendees of the council informational meeting represented the 95? 2. Valley View is still a busy dangerous street- would not let my young ones ride bikes on it or cross it alone. The 4 way light and speed limit drop have helped, but cars open up after the light. We have lost 2 mailboxes to hit and runs in non winter conditions. 3. This additional walk at the high price tag, really goes nowhere- it opens up additional walking steps but we can go to Middleton quite easily. Why not extend the walks from VV and HH to Prospect and finish Prospect's sidewalk? We could walk to the library or St Mary's church. 4. I am curious as to how many Valley View residents are ready to give up their chosen semi-ruralness of Valley View and the privacy, and embrace the welcome mat to solicitors who will now be able to walk to each door and having to shovel and de-ice the sidewalks. The MUP comment should have been considered since this road is a popular bike route for groups. on Facebook Share I am a Valley View Road resident coming in far too late to this thread. But... 1.

1. The City has not received any petition from residents of the Connecticut Colony neighborhood. The City has received comments from a few residents that preside in Connecticut Colony.
2. Earlier this year, the speed limit along Valley View Road was lowered from 45 MPH to 35 MPH. In addition, as part of the recent paving project, the edge lines along the roadway were moved in to push vehicles away from the road edge and lower speeds. Staff will be collecting additional speed data along Valley View Road to verify that the addition improvements have lowered driver speeds along this section of roadway.
3. A future trail extension along Prospect Street, from Steepleview Dr, north over the turnpike to Hines Hill Road is scheduled for design and construction. The project has been split into phases and is scheduled for final construction in 2027.
4. Residents along Valley View Road along the proposed sidewalk alignment are requested to provide public input via this website, by calling the City of Hudson Engineering Dept (330-342-1770) or attending the public input meeting rescheduled for 7/22/24. The results of public input will be collated and shared with City Council at a Council Workshop scheduled for August 27.

The sidewalk section along Valley View Road between Hines Hill and Middleton Road is currently in the preliminary design phase. A public meeting will be held with residents regarding the overall sidewalk plan and selected side of the road for a new sidewalk installation on July 11 from 6:00-8:00pm at Hudson City Hall. Letters will be sent to property owners along the project alignment notifying them of the public input meeting in the coming days. Staff will then present the preliminary design and gathered public input to City Council at the August 6^th Workshop ahead of finalizing the design and bidding the project later this fall.
Share Hello, as a resident of Valley View Rd, I am wondering what the cost uplift of a Multi-Use Path (MUP) is versus just a standalone sidewalk. There are numerous safety benefits to including a wider walkway that incorporates bicyclists like myself (and 68% of Americans) who would prefer to cycle on grade-separated paths away from high speed motor vehicles, and more often than not, the cost uplift to an asphalt 6- or 8-ft MUP is not be significantly more than a sidewalk after having worked on the planning committees of other municipalities. The section of MUP that has already been placed on Valley View from 91 to Hunting Hollow is great, and I wish we had more of that kind of walk and bike infrastructure in Hudson. Plus, when you're looking at an estimated lifespan of 50 years or more for MUPs and sidewalks, it makes sense to me to be as inclusive as possible of all forms of non-car mobility as we move toward a more sustainable future powered by active transportation, and this is 100% the perfect opportunity to do this sort of project. If the city has not already considered the possibility, I would highly urge them to do a cost analysis of this oftentimes inexpensive upgrade to demonstrate a more forward-thinking nature. on Facebook Share Hello, as a resident of Valley View Rd, I am wondering what the cost uplift of a Multi-Use Path (MUP) is versus just a standalone sidewalk.

Wendell asked 3 months ago

The sidewalk alignments along Hines Hill Road and Valley View Road were identified in the City’s 2021-2025 Sidewalk and Trail Master Plan, also known as the Connectivity Plan. The alignments of the future sidewalks and trails were selected for inclusion via public input that included residents, City staff, and City Council. This plan reflects ongoing efforts to enhance safe and practical non-vehicular connectivity across Hudson. Public input sessions in 2020, attended by residents, City Council members, the Mayor, and City staff, facilitated the identification of potential alignments, ranking, and estimated budgets for these projects. Following these sessions, the findings were consolidated into the City’s Sidewalk and Trail Master Plan 2021-2025, accessible for review here.
Analysis of construction costs over the past three years indicates that concrete sidewalks have proven cheaper to install per linear foot compared to asphalt trails. For instance, recent asphalt trail projects along Valley View Road and recent project from other municipalities in Ohio averaged $325 per linear foot, while recent sidewalk projects along Middleton Road, Stow Road, and SR 303 averaged $200 per linear foot. Given a larger footprint, factors such as environmental impacts, storm improvements and potential private property acquisitions, further contribute to increased costs for trails compared to concrete sidewalks.
Also, previous proposals for asphalt trails adjacent to residential properties of Hudson have encountered significant property owner pushback, with concerns including aesthetics of a trail in the front of the property, increased snow/ice removal maintenance of a wide trail, tree removals associated with the wider footprint, and shortening of driveway/reduced parking areas caused by trail width.

City staff and the design consultant are still reviewing what side of Hines Hill Road the sidewalk will be located on. City staff looks at many variables including costs, Right of Way impacts, utility impacts, wetland impacts and residents’ concerns prior to finalizing a sidewalk alignment. The final recommended alignment will be presented to Hudson City Council at the City’s 1/9/24 Council Workshop before being voted upon at the 2/6/24 Council Meeting.

Which side of the road will the Valley View Sidewalk be on, between Hines Hill and Middleton? It appears to be on the South/West Side. Is this correct?

I am a resident on Valley View Rd., between Hines Hill and Middleton Rds. What is the current status of the sidewalk project along this stretch of Valley View, please? We received a letter regarding the evaluation of this possibility, and wondered what the current updates are. Thank you.

On which side of the road will the Hines Hill sidewalk be located?

I am in favor of the sidewalks on Valley View (actually very excited!), but am concerned about the 45 mph speed limit. Now that there will be pedestrians very close to the road, can the speed limit be lowered to reflect the change to a more residential speed?

I’m just wondering the correlation of how many residents have asked for, and made the case for this project vs. the cost. It’s a lot of money if, say, 4 people want it. I’ve wondered this about many of these projects. How are these expensive projects that affect so few residents justified?

Comment: this is an exorbitant use of public funds for a potential “benefit” of VERY FEW. Residents.

I live on Glastonbury Drive and support the sidewalk that would extend along Hines Hill to Valley View. I would suggest in the future extending the Hines Hill sidewalk west from Valley View Road to the MetroPark that is supposed to open across from the YDC.
