Kalida, Ohio (May 23, 2025) – The Village of Kalida, in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Executive Order 11988, is seeking public comments regarding the following proposed project.
Kalida Pedestrian Loop (PID: 121886) The Village of Kalida, in partnership with ODOT, is proposing a pedestrian walking path along various routes in the Village of Kalida: Napolean Street (State Route 115) starting at the intersection of North Broad Street and continuing along Northland Drive to County Road 18, and West Main Street (State Route 114) starting near the Village Wastewater Treatment Plant and continuing along Front Street to West North Street. This project will include replacement or construction of sidewalks and/or multi-use path along both sides of Napolean Street and Northland Drive, on the north side of West Main Street, and on the west side of Front Street. Construction activities will result in temporary roadway closures. Vehicular through traffic will be detoured temporarily. Access for local traffic to all properties will be maintained throughout construction.
A portion of this work near Northland Drive will take place within the boundaries of Kalida Four Seasons Park; work within the park will consist of the construction of a multi-use path. The park is designated as a public recreational property that is owned and maintained by the Village of Kalida. As a designated public recreational property, it is afforded protection under federal law. The use of federal funds requires measures to be developed to minimize harm and advance public notice be given of impacts to this recreational property.
Construction is anticipated to occur in the Summer of 2026.
Work at this location will occur in the regulated floodplain of Plum Creek. Impacts to this floodplain are anticipated to be minor and result in no rise in localized flood levels. A statement of findings detailing the results of the final floodplain analysis will be made available at: Here
