Nisbet Park Gazebo
The 2022 budget included $115,000 to install a gazebo in Nisbet Park, partially funded by an ODNR grant. Installation was planned for 2022 but was delayed due to supply chain issues. In addition, a pathway will be installed to connect the gazebo to the Little Miami Scenic Trail.
Start Date: January 2023
Estimated Completion: March 2023

Harrison Avenue Widening Project

The city is receiving $370,000 of state funding of an estimated $462,600 construction project to widen Harrison Ave. between Karl Brown Way and Railroad Ave. from 16'-20' existing width to 22' width. The project includes realignment and relocation of Harrison Ave. between Railroad Ave. and First St. to the north by approximately 70', in preparation for a planned 270-space parking facility.  Additionally, the project will include the installation of 5' wide concrete sidewalks and curb along the south side of Harrison Avenue.  These improvements will positively impact safety along the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail, which has been a concern of the city's first responders. The project will also include the replacement of catch basins, upsizing of storm sewers, and addition of a headwall with flap valve at the pipe outlet, improving drainage and safety in the area.  Completion of the Harrison Avenue Widening Project will allow for the city to proceed with implementing the Nisbet Park Master Plan and corresponding improvements once the storm sewer outlet pipe through the park is complete. Other improvements include enhanced signage, pavement markings, restoration, and other incidentals. Work is estimated to begin in August 2023 and be completed in Spring 2024.
Start Date: August 2023
Estimated Completion: Spring 2024

Loveland-Miamiville Road Sidewalks

Second Street/State Route 48 Traffic Improvements

The city, working in partnership with the Adams County Land Bank, took possession of the former Mobil Station site after the prior owner concluded fuel center and retail operations, thus clearing the way for the property to be transferred. With the cessation of fuel center activities on the site and the associated transfer of the property to the land bank, the city can now begin the process of completing the environmental inspections required to demolish the former fuel center, remove the existing underground storage tanks, pursuing additional funding to assist in remediating current known and unknown issues associated with the past fuel center use. Additionally, with the transfer of the property, the city authorized testing to determine if there are existing, undocumented petroleum releases associated with any active underground storage tanks on site.  Demolition occurred in February. Once the site is remediated, a right turn lane will be added along SR 48 to improve traffic flow.
Demo: February 2023
Roadwork Start Date: May 2023
Estimated Completion: July 2023
Second Street/State Route 48 Improvement (Mobil Station) 

West Loveland Avenue Bridge

The West Loveland Avenue Bridge is scheduled to be repaired in 2023. The bridge is owned and maintained by both Clermont and Hamilton County, and the project is being largely funded by Hamilton County, state grant funding and an allocation from the Clermont County Commissioners. The city is contributing funds toward decorative railing and new lighting. In 2021, the city and Hamilton County submitted a joint grant application to replace the north sidewalk, as well the railings, walls and bridge abutments. However, private utility relocation for conduit located within the sidewalks delayed the project. In July 2022, the north side of the bridge's sidewalk was paved with asphalt for pedestrian safety. The bridge will remain open to traffic with a reduced number of lanes during the repairs. 
Start Date: June 2023
Estimated Completion: August 2023

O'Bannonville Bridge (Goshen Township)

The Clermont County Engineer’s Office will replace the bridge on O’Bannonville Road near Hutchinson Road, which is located east of the city limits in Goshen Township. The county expects to begin construction in July 2023 and have it completed by fall. This project will require a roadway closure and detour route.
Start Date: July 2023
Estimated Completion: November 2023

East Loveland Avenue Improvements 

This is a two-phase project affecting the East Loveland Avenue area (near the East Loveland Nature Preserve). After July 2023, a joint project with collaboration from Clermont County, MSD, and the City will commence. Clermont County is providing $478,320 for the replacement of the bridge on East Loveland Avenue over Bares Run, near #250 E. Loveland Ave. Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) will replace and upsize about 1,300 LF of the sanitary sewer, from #220 to #362 E. Loveland Ave. MSD is paying a total of approximately $686,200 for the sanitary sewer work. The city is receiving $722,400 of State grant funding to install sidewalks on both sides of the road between #227 to #356, relocate water main around the bridge, make storm sewer system improvements, and repave the roadway while the bridge replacement project is being performed.  While some aspects of the work may be performed with a single lane closure and maintaining traffic with flaggers, the bridge replacement will require a full roadway closure and detour route. The bridge replacement portion of the project will not commence until O'Bannonville Rd. has re-opened to traffic.
Start Date: August 2023
Estimated Completion: Spring 2024

Navaho & Cherokee Tot Lots

The city has received funding to replace the playgrounds in the tot lots, as well as to add Wi-Fi service at both parks. The new playsets have been ordered with anticipated installation in Fall 2023.
