The Village of Mechanicsburg has received a $663,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation to improve pedestrian safety along High Street and near the intersections of Walnut and Main streets.
According to a message to residents from the village, the funding comes through ODOT’s Safe Routes to School program and will pay for pedestrian crossing enhancements in the community.
The improvements are intended to make crossings safer for residents and students walking through the village.
The project remains in the preliminary planning stages, with construction anticipated to begin in 2028 or 2029.
Village officials thanked residents for their continued support and cooperation as the project moves forward.
Additional updates are expected as planning progresses, and details become available.
