Project Description

The City of Oregon proposes to construct new sidewalks and a shared-use path along Pickle Road to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety for students traveling to nearby schools. This project will help create safer connections between surrounding neighborhoods, existing bike trails, and local schools, encouraging students to walk or bike to school.

The proposed improvements will provide safer access to Coy Elementary School and Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School and Academy. These improvements are recommended in the City of Oregon’s Safe Routes to School Travel Plan, which identifies infrastructure needs to support safer and more convenient walking and bicycling routes for students and the community.

Proposed Improvements

Sidewalk Construction

Approximately 3,700 linear feet of 5-foot-wide sidewalk will be constructed along Pickle Road in several segments to close existing gaps in the pedestrian network. Proposed sidewalk locations include:

• North side of Pickle Road: Town Center Boulevard to Laura Lane
• South side of Pickle Road: YMCA to Eastland Drive
• North side of Pickle Road: Oregon Trail Bike Path to Heritage Lane
• South side of Pickle Road: Oregon Trail Bike Path to Oaktree Court

Shared-Use Path Construction

The project will also construct 1,410 linear feet of a 10-foot-wide asphalt shared-use path designed to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. This path will provide a direct connection between Coy Elementary School and the Oregon Trail Bike Path, expanding access to the regional trail network.

Project Benefits

The proposed improvements will:

• Increase safety for students walking and bicycling to school
• Close critical gaps in the sidewalk network along Pickle Road
• Improve connectivity between neighborhoods, schools, and the regional bike trail system
• Support the goals of the City of Oregon’s Safe Routes to School program

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact the Department of Public Service at (419) 698-7047 or eng@oregonohio.org.

Project Overview

This project consists of constructing approximately 0.72 miles of an 11-foot-wide asphalt shared-use path along Wheeling Street. The proposed path will extend from Brown Road to Interstate 280 and from the driveway between Mercy Health – Bay Park Hospital and Meijer to the City of Oregon’s southern corporation limit.

Between these two segments, the proposed shared-use path will connect to an existing 8-foot-wide concrete path that is part of the shared-use path network located on the campus of Mercy Health – Bay Park Hospital.

Currently, a 5-foot-wide sidewalk exists along these portions of Wheeling Street and accommodates a significant amount of both pedestrian and bicycle traffic. However, the sidewalk was not designed for shared use and provides limited space for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling in opposite directions, which can lead to user conflicts. To address this issue, the project will replace the existing sidewalk with an 11-foot-wide asphalt shared-use path designed to safely accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorized users. The wider facility will improve safety, increase capacity for active transportation, and provide a more comfortable and accessible route for users of all ages and abilities

The project will also improve connectivity along the Wheeling Street corridor by linking multi-family residential areas, commercial destinations, and healthcare facilities, including Mercy Health – Bay Park Hospital and Meijer, while enhancing the City of Oregon’s overall pedestrian and bicycle transportation network.

Project Schedule:

• 2026:  Detailed Engineering Design
• 2027:  Construction

Funding

The construction elements of the project are fully funded through the following source:

• ODOT Safety Grant Funding:  $ 441,592 (100% covered, with no local match required up to the grant amount)

The City of Oregon will manage the project design using in-house engineering staff, reducing costs and ensuring local oversight throughout the planning and design process.

If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact the Department of Public Service at (419) 698-7047 or eng@oregonohio.org.

The City of Oregon will be implementing roadway departure countermeasures at the long sweeping curve at Bay Shore Road and Otter Creek Road.

See below project description and maps for details.

Project Information

Project Area Map

Construction Notice Letter (10-31-25)

Construction Update Notice (2-10-26)

Background

Since 2008, the City of Oregon has implemented an Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Reduction Program to reduce excessive rainwater and groundwater entering the sanitary sewer system, which can cause:

• Sanitary sewer overflows
• Basement backups
• Wet weather bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)>

Through a variety of sewer improvement projects—including traditional replacements and cured-in-place lining of existing sewers—the I/I Reduction Program has reduced the number and severity of these issues. Phase 3, Part B continues this effort in the Wheeling Street Sanitary Sewer District, east of Wheeling Street.

Project Details

• Sewers in the project area are approximately 85 years old.
• Rehabilitation will include lining 8-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch pipes using a cured-in-place lining (CIPP) method. This method uses a resin-impregnated fabric, steam-cured inside the existing sewer, creating a new pipe within the old pipe.
• The project also includes:
• Lining 130 sanitary sewer laterals and 28 sanitary sewer manholes
• Excavation and pipe repair of 11 deteriorated chimney riser connections
• Installation of 3 new sanitary sewer manholes
• Repair of storm sewer and associated restoration

Construction Impact

Most work occurs within existing sewer pipes, so disruptions will be minimal. Residents may notice:

• Contractor vehicles on neighborhood streets (jet/vac trucks, CCTV camera trucks, box trucks)
• Temporary driveway closures on Randall Dr. and Berlin Ave. for up to one day during sewer excavation and repair. Residents will be notified in advance.

Funding and Environmental Review

This project is funded by a reduced-interest loan from the Ohio EPA’s DEFA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF). The Ohio EPA has released a Limited Environmental Review and Finding of No Significant Impact for the project.

Ohio EPA LER and FONSI

Due to the age and condition of the existing storm sewer on Eastmoreland Drive, the City of Oregon is planning a replacement of the pipe.  This is for the section of storm sewer between S. Wheeling Street and S. Berlin Avenue.   As stated in the letter to residents, unfortunately, nine (9) trees will need to be removed for this work.   These are the trees located in the center of the boulevard.  The trees along the sidewalks and roadside will not be affected.  The trees were planted directly on top of the storm sewer and have contributed to the condition of the pipe.  Future tree plantings are planned and will be more strategic in placement, avoiding underground utilities to the best extent possible.

It is important to note that this is a critical segment of the storm sewer system for this area.  This sewer not only serves Eastmoreland Drive, but also S. Wheeling Street, Randall Drive, S. Berlin Avenue, Gladhaven Drive, and S. Whittlesey Avenue.  If this pipe were to completely fail and collapse, many streets and homes could be flooded during a rain event.

As shown in the below images from the pipe inspection video, the condition of the pipe is extremely poor.  Cracks and fractures are seen throughout.  There are also several segments that have missing pipe sections where dirt is visible and has already been washing into the sewer.  This is causing the sinkholes seen on the surface in the blvd area.  The storm sewer is beyond its useful life and is in need of replacement.

The City is anticipating finalizing the design of the project over the month of May and advertising for construction bids soon after.  Construction will likely take place over the summer (2025).    The letter and map in the links below further describe the project and show the project area.  Please contact the Department of Public Service at 419-698-7047 if you have any questions on this project.

Construction of the Otter Creek Stream and Floodplain Restoration Project – 2024 is set to begin on October 7^th, 2024.  In August of 2024, the City of Oregon awarded a contract to Haynes Construction, Inc of Norwalk, Ohio for the Otter Creek Stream and Floodplain Restoration Project – 2024.  The work involves the improvement of Otter Creek by natural channel stabilization and the creation of adjacent stream floodplains.  The project is designed to improve Otter Creek and create large habitat areas for birds, fish, and amphibians.  Over 2,500 linear feet of streambank will be stabilized using natural channel design methods including live stakes, locked logs, and replanting with native grasses and shrubs to hold soils.  This vegetation will reduce streambank erosion during large rain events.  Other proposed work includes:

• Streambank stabilization by grading, live stake planting, and the utilization of rootwads on 2,500 linear feet of Otter Creek streambank
• Establishment of instream habitat structures such as rock riffles and cover stones for fish habitat
• Reestablishment of the connection of Otter Creek to 2.5 acres of floodplain
• Enhancement of 2.5 acres of Otter Creek floodplain using grading, microtopography, and wetland, shrub, and tree plantings
• Enhancement of 4 acres of existing wetland and riparian area adjacent to the creek using wetland, shrub, and tree plantings and grading.
• Diversion of 53 acres of stormwater drainage to proposed floodplains to reduce sediment and nutrients prior to discharge to Otter Creek
• A proposed walking path within the project area to provide additional passive recreation and wildlife viewing opportunities.

In August of 2022, the City of Oregon was awarded a grant in the amount of $1,389,510 from the US EPA GLNPO office for this project. The grant included funding for property acquisition, engineering and design, and construction of these improvements.

Once the site is at final grade, over 16 acres will be seeded to native wetland and upland plant species. There will also be over 1,600 individual trees and shrubs and 1,250 individual wetland plugs that will be planted within the floodplain areas. Example tree species include swamp white oak, burr oak, eastern redbud, and shagbark hickory. Example wetland species include swamp milkweed, fox sedge, common rush, New England aster, and blue vervain.

Portions of the bike path through the recreational complex will be rerouted while the project is being constructed.

Work is expected to continue through Spring 2024.

Cooper Gensler, an Eagle Scout Candidate from Troop 2, is working with us to perform the “live staking” to quickly establish vegetation within the newly created stream wetland/floodplain areas as part of his Eagle Scout project.  Cooper and other members of Troop 2 are harvesting “live stakes” from existing stands of willow and dogwood and then transplanting these “live stakes” into the wetland/floodplain areas.

Approximately 275 willow stakes were planted by Troop 2 on Sunday, November 5th, 2023 in the North floodplain area of the Wolf Creek east of the skate park.  They also harvested approximately 200 additional dogwood live stakes for a future planting.  These “live stakes” should start growing and adding immediate habitat value in the Spring of 2024.

The cities of Oregon and Northwood collaborated to develop a Bike Plan that would assess how best to connect bicycle facilities between the two communities and to adjacent jurisdictions and their bike facilities.

Oregon and Northwood have been expanding bike and pedestrian facilities in their communities over the past several years and have been proactive in conducting various plans, studies, and passing resolutions to work towards improving non-motorized facilities within their communities.

The Northwood-Oregon Bike Plan summarizes all of the existing bike facilities that have been constructed over the years to provide access to neighborhoods, parks, recreational areas, schools, public facilities, and commercial/retail areas within the communities via active transportation. The bike plan also identifies needed improvements to complete gaps in the bike facility network and to coordinate connectivity between both Northwood and Oregon, as well as adjacent jurisdictions.
