The City of Loveland has several projects in the works to improve the Loveland-Madeira Road Corridor. Improvements will be made in phases over the next several years, and city staff has applied for grant funding.
The city has been awarded a $4.6-million grant through the OKI Regional Council of Governments to improve Loveland-Madeira Road from West Loveland Avenue to just past Valley View Lane. Plans include the following:
Pedestrian enhancements, including sidewalk installation on the east side of the roadway and a multi-use path on the west side of the roadway.
Construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Valley View Lane and Loveland-Madeira Road to add a fourth leg of the intersection to accommodate future property development.
Streetscape enhancements, including street trees, lighting, green storm water infrastructure, benches, high-visibility crosswalks, bike racks, and relocation of overhead utilities to underground.
Grass-center median installation at various locations to manage traffic movement.
Permanent and temporary right-of-way will be required in order to complete the proposed work. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 and be completed in 2028.
Open House
The city hosted a public meeting on Feb. 12, 2025, at Loveland City Hall. Attendees were able to examine design plans, ask questions of the project team, and provide feedback.
The city has been awarded an ODOT Systematic Safety Grant to install sidewalks along Loveland-Madeira Road from the corporation limit (near the Public Works facility) to approximately the Oasis Turf & Tree/Kroger/Castle Skateland area. This is an estimated $283,191 project with $254,872 received in grant funding from ODOT. Design and engineering is taking place in 2025 with an anticipated construction start in 2026.
