The City of Loveland, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Transportation, is proposing a roadway improvement project on Loveland Madeira Road, from West Loveland Avenue to just past Valley View Lane. Proposed improvements are being funded by a $4.6-million grant through the OKI Regional Council of Governments, and include the following:

  • Pedestrian enhancements, including sidewalk installation on the east side of the roadway and a multi-use path on the west side of the roadway.
  • Construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Valley View Lane and Loveland Madeira Road to add a fourth leg of the intersection to accommodate future property development.
  • Streetscape enhancements, including street trees, lighting, green stormwater infrastructure, benches, high visibility crosswalks, bike racks, and burying all overhead utilities underground.
  • Grass-center median installation at various locations to manage traffic movement.

Permanent and temporary right-of-way will be required in order to complete the proposed work. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 and be completed in 2028.

The City of Loveland is hosting a public meeting to ensure the proposed project is viable and successful. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the project and proposed improvements with the community, answer questions, and gather community input before making final decisions. We are asking all those interested to attend and participate in this public meeting, which is being conducted in-person.
