The Ottawa County Road Commission is pleased to present the draft of the latest Road Commission transportation plan: the 2021-2025 Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP).

This plan is based on an annual review of the county road assets in order to identify improvement needs, and determine economical methods to finance improvement and maintenance projects.

The review of these assets helps determine the appropriate replacement, repair and preventative maintenance methods to be incorporated into the SIP.

The draft 2021–2025 SIP contains the following categories — Road Improvements, Preventative Maintenance Treatments, and Drainage Improvements — along with project lists and cost estimates of recommended projects based on available resources, anticipated revenues, funding opportunities, and transportation infrastructure needs:

Before the 2021-2025 SIP is finalized, it is vital to the process to gather input and comments about the proposed projects within this draft plan from our local governmental partners and the general public. Please submit your comments by September 1, 2020, as they are appreciated and encouraged.
