The Miami County Republic has announced their list of the top 10 stories in Miami County from 2022. Coming in at number 6 was the Metcalf 2.0 Project. The reconstruction project’s box drain system would redirect the rainwater underground where it is supposed to go. The project spans Metcalf from South Second to South 16th Streets in Louisburg. Some features of the street rehabilitation include road widening and resurfacing, curb and gutter upgrades, underground stormwater improvements, an integrated bicycle path and sidewalks along the east and west sides of Metcalf Road.
Plans also include a traffic signal and designated turning lanes at the busy intersection of Metcalf Road and South Fifth Street near Broadmoor Elementary, as well as a high visibility pedestrian crossing at Metcalf Road and Thomas Drive where motorists and pedestrians access Ron Weers Park and City Lake.
