The City of Findlay is partnering with Ohio Department of Transportation ( ODOT ) and has proposed a project that will include the installation of a shared - use path along the north side of State Route 568 . The proposed path will begin at shared - use path on County Road 236 and will extend to the east utilizing the north ditch of State Route 568 . Once the share - use path reaches Township Road 241 , the path will traverse south towards Riverbend Park . The addition of the shared - use path will provide a safe connection to the Greenway Trail , Riverbend Park , US Route 224 , and to the existing shared - use paths throughout the city for pedestrians and cyclists . This project is scheduled to begin construction in spring 2025 with a completion by the end of December 2025 .
Prior to the start of construction , detailed construction updates along the impacted route will be posted on the City of Findlay’s website ,

. During construction , one way traffic shall be maintained along State Route 568 by closing the westbound lane . Access shall be maintained to all adjacent properties and businesses for the duration of the project . If at any time a drive access needs to be temporarily closed , the City of Findlay and its contractor will coordinate the temporary closure with the respective property owner .
Work at this location will occur in the regulated floodplain for the Blanchard River . Impacts to this floodplain are anticipated to be minor and result in no rise in localized flood levels . The path will also require a minor amount of tree removal , and work within a designated wetland .
We welcome your questions and comments for the project . Issues you may wish to comment on include , but not limited to , the effects of the project on local residents , air quality , the local economy , floodplains , and historic or cultural resources . Comments are requested by March 22 , 2024 , to ensure your comments may be considered during project development .
