Resolution 12-2026 proposes declaring it necessary to install sidewalks on the north side of Suffolk Road from Andover Road to Northwest Boulevard, to be paid by special assessment. This is an early-stage move setting up the legal and funding framework for a defined corridor sidewalk project but does not yet reference design or construction contractors. For vendors, this signals that Upper Arlington is planning a capital improvement that will require surveying, design/engineering, ADA compliance work, and eventual construction, likely within the next budget cycles.Firms offering transportation engineering, sidewalk design, construction, or public engagement around assessments could engage with Public Works staff as the project moves from necessity declaration into scoped design and bid packaging.

Funding via special assessments suggests outreach and coordination with adjacent property owners will be important.
