“It’s going to be a adventure through Lima to explore the local Lima history. There are going to be placards mounted downtown and various areas throughout the city. You will be able to find information about the trail on visitgreaterlima.com and we will also have a table set up at Third Thursdays where you can get some hands on in person experience as well,” said Cricket Rodriguez, executive director of Downtown Lima.

LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Phase two of the Downtown Lima Streetscape project is currently underway, prompting a temporary road closure on Monday.

“It’s really exciting sharing what’s going on at the Central District. We just hope people who haven’t been out yet will come and take a look. It’s filled with many unique businesses, and we all complement one another really well. It’s a neat, neat place.”

“This is really an exciting, straightforward way to show the streetscape improvements that will be coming to downtown, and to allow the public to supply their input and comment,” said Lima City Engineer Ian Kohli.

Getting around the city of Lima is beginning to look a little different.

LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Road construction will continue in downtown Lima this week.

Drainage work has been installed in the six major intersections included in the project, and crews have now shifted focus to the south end. Work is currently underway to prepare the roadbed between Elm and Market streets. Curb installation and asphalt paving will follow. Sidewalk construction is also in progress.
