Services



General



The village maintains 8.5 miles of streets and alleys, including three (3) state highways. Please direct any questions or, a request regarding a street or alley to the Village Administrator or a member of the Council’s street committee.



Sidewalk Repair Program



The village believes having an extensive and well maintained sidewalk system is an important factor to maintain quality of life. Sidewalks make the community more accessible and encourage walking. They also are an indicator of the community’s commitment to maintaining our infrastructure and properties.


To encourage residents to replace sidewalks, the village has established a cost sharing program. The village will reimburse a property owner 30% of the cost of replacing a sidewalk up to a maximum of $500.00. Each year $5,000.00 is set aside to fund this program. The funds are distributed on a first come first served basis.


To qualify for reimbursement sidewalks must be poured concrete 4 foot wide, 4 inches thick (6 inches thick if vehicles will cross it) and comply with the American’s with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.). For more details contact the village administrator or a council member.



Street Paving Program



Traditionally in the past the Village has utilized funds from Issue I (Ohio Public Works Commission) Grants in combination with the Villages Street levy fund to pave a street or two each year. Throughout the years it has become increasingly challenging to obtain this grant through the OPWC and the recent increase in cost of paving over the last 5 years have added to the challenges of affordable resurfacing. In 2024 the Village proceeded with a resurfacing project of approximately 1550 lineal feet at a cost of approximately $135,000, which was paid for from Covid relief funding grant. With current Street levy funding of around $24,000 per year collected, It would take more than 5 years of the village having no other street related expenses to be able to pave a project of this size.



Street Cleaning



The Village of McConnelsville owns a street sweeper and typically tries to operate the street sweeper weekly weather permitting as frequently as possible. Besides the obvious aesthetic benefits the main purpose of our street cleaning is to remove sand, gravel and litter before it enters the storm and even sanitary sewer collection system. These debris that can enter into the systems will decrease efficiency over time and can damage pumps and other treatment equipment.



Leaf Collection


Each autumn on an as needed basis, the village collects leaves raked by our residents to the curb. This free service is provided as a benefit to our residents and to prevent the leaves from entering our sewer system. Please do not rake the leaves into the street. It is more difficult to collect the leaves when they are raked into the street, and it increases the odds of the leaves entering the sewer system.
