Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
SR 25 and Eckel Junction intersection improvement
The city will pay $6,900 extra to have Mannik & Smith evaluate an idea to improve the rough SR 25/Eckel Junction intersection as part of the corridor study update.
Front Street speed limit fix
Front Street has shown 35 mph signs for years, but the limit was never filed with the state — legally it's 45 or 50. A resolution will make 35 official, and a corridor study may push it lower.
ODOT grants for Louisiana Avenue resurfacing and shared-use paths
Council applied for a federal grant to resurface East Indiana Avenue and accepted two ODOT grants covering 80-90% of costs for SR-199 resurfacing and new shared-use paths and crossings on West Indiana, Fort Meigs and Hull Prairie roads. Construction bids are expected late 2026 into 2027.
East Indiana Avenue resurfacing grant application
Council authorized applying for competitive state OPWC grant money to resurface Finley Street from Mulberry Road to Indiana Avenue.
Front Street corridor roundabouts
Residents packed citizens' comments to oppose proposed roundabouts on Front Street and East Boundary, calling them unnecessary, costly and a threat to the historic district's character. The mayor stressed it's only a safety study so far — no decision has been made — and public input is still open online.
Downtown construction update
Downtown work flips to the west side soon, but corners at Front Street, Second Street and the railroad tracks wait on late-arriving anchor bolts and Toledo Edison de-energizing old traffic cabinets.
