2022 Paving Projects
Begin July
The 2022 City paving projects will soon begin. The first of these projects will be the paving of East Wooster, from Campbell Hill Road to just west of the railroad tracks. During this work, one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction with intermittent closure of drive approaches and intersections. It is anticipated that this work will begin in mid-July. The contract completion date for this project is October, 2022. This schedule is dependent upon weather and progress of work.
The other portion of the 2022 paving projects are those associated with the use of ARPA funds and the paving of residential roads. The removal and replacement of curbs, ADA ramps, and certain sections of sidewalk has already begun, with paving efforts to begin late August. The contract completion date for this project is October, 2022. This schedule is dependent upon weather and progress of work. Portions of the following roads are scheduled to be paved as part of this project: Clough, North and South Enterprise, West Evers, Frazee, Lehman, Leroy, Mitchell, Pike, North Prospect, East and West Reed, Ridge, and South Summit.
As a reminder, Mayor Aspacher and Council previously allocated approximately $3,000,000 of ARPA funds towards paving of residential roads throughout the City. This will occur over a 3-year period – 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Just Chillin' Slow Roll
July 10th @ 2PM
The Bowling Green Bicycle Safety Commission is hosting a Slow Roll, titled Just Chillin’. This ride will meet on Sunday, July 10th, at 2:00 PM. Participants should meet at the City Pool Parking Lot, located at 520 Conneaut Ave. This leisurely ride will include a stop for ice cream courtesy of the Sundae Station. Upon completion of the ride, all riders will receive a free one day pool pass to the City Pool!
Rides are free, family-friendly, and open to everyone. Each rider is required to wear a properly-fitted helmet and ride a correctly-sized bicycle in safe, working mechanical order. It is highly recommended that young riders, who are still learning to ride, participate via a tow behind trailer or child bike seat. These rides are meant to be more recreational in nature and will travel at a speed comfortable for all riders.
While designed for fun and exploration, monthly rides will also stress the importance of safe riding practices and responsibilities of riders while navigating city streets. Multiple trained leaders will facilitate the ride to ensure that all riders complete the route, including providing assistance for mechanical or personal issues that may arise.
Questions about this ride should be directed to the City’s Sustainability and Public Outreach Coordinator by phone at 419-354-6222 or by email. |
