Greetings!
A number of years ago as a part of the City of Lima’s strategic planning process, the beautification of the Bellefontaine & Market Street entrance to the city was identified and prioritized. This targeted effort focused on blight removal, installation of safety enhancements such as lighting and traffic signs and signals, and aesthetic improvements such as trees and signage. Thus, over the years, we have seen the transformation of the City’s most blighted neighborhood made possible by investments by many public and private entities. The Bellefontaine & Market Street corridor is now home to the Lima Senior High School Campus, Spartan Stadium, and the new Lima Stadium Park. Soon we will see the opening of Dominion Energy’s new corporate campus.
Throughout this period we have also been working to address the major bottleneck and safety constraint presented by the Indiana & Ohio Railroad crossing. Rail activities at this crossing tie up vehicular traffic multiple times each day for unpredictable, and often lengthy, periods of time. Many anecdotes have arisen regarding doctors, nurses and other safety personnel being unable able to access our hospitals as a result. The most high profile incident involved a train that nearly stopped President Oba ma’s motorcade out of the city following his visit here in 2012.
Beginning with the receipt of two federal earmarks totaling $2.4 million secured by U.S. Congressman Michael Oxley in 2005, the city has now put in place a total of $13.8 million to construct an underpass on East Elm Street. Also included in the project will be a traffic circle to be constructed at the Elm, Bellefontaine and Calumet intersection to facilitate thru traffic and Spartan Stadium traffic during events. This project is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 2018 and be fully implemented by November 2019.
Many people and organizations are to be thanked for their help in making this project a reality, including the late Congressman Michael Oxley, ODOT Director Jerry Wray, ODOT District One Deputy Director Kirk Slusher, Lima Memorial Hospital, St. Rita’s Medical Center, Lima Allen County Regional Planning Commission, G&W Railroad, City of Lima Department of Public Works, City of Lima Department of Community Development, Lima City Council, American Structurepoint, DLZ, and the citizens of Lima.
We hope that you will use this website to stay up-to-date about route changes, road closures, and other project related events.
