Improving walkability in the city is a goal of the city’s 2022 Comprehensive Master Plan, and residents will begin seeing new sidewalk connections.
- As part of a multi-phase project, new sidewalks were added along the east side of Loveland-Miamiville Road from State Route 48/Oakland Road to Sugar Tree Lane in 2023. Phase II of this project will begin June 10, 2024, to extend sidewalks from Sugar Tree Line to Saddleback Drive. A water main replacement is also part of Phase II. Once complete, sidewalks will connect three neighborhoods to two schools and Historic Downtown.
- City Council awarded a contract to add sidewalks along East Loveland Avenue from the nature preserve to the new Clermont County park located on the Grail Property. Similarly, funding efforts are underway to connect the other side of the new Clermont County park with the White Pillars neighborhood — sidewalks are proposed along State Route 48/ Oakland Road.
- City staff is applying for grants to install sidewalks along Osage Drive to connect a large portion of the Loveland Heights to Loveland High School.
- The city has been awarded a $2-million grant from ODOT to construct sidewalks from Blossom View Drive to Butterworth Road. This will connect the city's Warren County residents to the heart of downtown. Although construction will not take place immediately, engineering and design for the project will begin in 2024.
- The Loveland-Madeira Road Corridor Revitalization Project will include pedestrian connections to the Stoneybrook neighborhood, River Ridge Apartments, Deer Creek Apartments, and beyond.
