Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Eckel Road Vacation
A small stub of city right-of-way on Eckel Road, long used as the Michaels property entrance, would be vacated so the owner can maintain and upgrade it.
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.
Pedestrian Safety at I-75 Overpass (Route 20)
A resident raised concerns again about pedestrians and cyclists crossing the Route 20 bridge over I-75. Staff will look at signage and grant options; a real fix would likely wait for an ODOT bridge replacement that isn't planned anytime soon.
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.
Fort Meigs Road Multi-Use Path
Council accepted donated land from the schools and a title agency and dedicated park land at Rivercrest and Rotary parks so the safety-funded path along Fort Meigs Road, W. Indiana and Hull Prairie can go out to bid on schedule.
