Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Vandalia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Johnson Station Road bridge replacement funding
The city and ODOT are partnering to replace the Johnson Station Road Bridge, with bid letting October 29, 2026. Most of the cost is covered by grants, but the city pays $238,723.
Little York / South Brown School Road intersection congestion
A busy intersection would get turn-lane extensions, a new westbound right-turn lane and drainage fixes, a $2.2 million project the city hopes the state will largely fund.
Street Lighting for Worldwide Place and Corporate Center Drive
The office park was built without street lighting; $108K in street fund money would finally add it.
2026 Asphalt Purchase Contract
The city locked in the same asphalt prices as last year for road paving and repairs — $82/ton base, $88/ton surface.
Pavement rejuvenator treatment
A $46,365 Reclamite treatment on streets near recent water main work should extend pavement life by roughly 30%. Council wants this baked into future major projects.
2026 Street Resurfacing Program
A $464,921 contract will replace curbs and sidewalks across town in coordination with annual street resurfacing — came in well under the $565,000 estimate.
