Public engagement event to discuss “West Loveland Avenue Traffic Study”

Loveland, Ohio – The City of Loveland will host a public engagement event on Tuesday, April 30, to discuss their “West Loveland Avenue Traffic Study”.

The event will be held at New Hope Baptist Church, 1401 Loveland-Madeira Road, from 5:30 until 7:30 PM.

The City invites residents, local business owners, workers, and frequent area travelers to attend a public open house to review and provide feedback on several alternatives being explored.

According to City Hall, they have been “investigating alternatives for reducing traffic congestion and improving travel time in Historic Downtown Loveland, particularly on and near the West Loveland Avenue Bridge spanning the Little Miami River, an area in which traffic is particularly heavy during typical commute times.”

“The West Loveland Avenue Study project team has identified three alternatives that could potentially alleviate congestion in the area. These alternatives will be presented at the open house. The project team will give a presentation for those in attendance at 6 p.m. Attendees will also be able to examine exhibits of the alternatives being considered, ask questions of the project team, and provide verbal and written feedback. The city would like comments about the social, economic, and environmental impacts of the alternatives, including any information the public may have regarding the existence of archaeological, historic, ecological resources, or hazardous materials sites.”
