LIMA — City of Lima Engineer Ian Kohli, announced new construction projects underway in downtown Lima during Mayor Sharetta Smith’s weekly media briefing Wednesday.
“The construction on Market (Street) is 99 percent complete,” said Kohli. “The roundabout was opened last Thursday.”
Kohli reminded motorists to yield to the left when entering a roundabout.
“The golden rule is that you must yield. You want to yield to cars already circulating, pedestrians and bicycles. This is a big change from the older traffic circle. Make sure you yield look to your left and look for oncoming traffic.
“On the 200 block of West Market, you will be allowed to park on the north curb line now,” Kohli added. “The only time you are not allowed to park is between 2:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.”
The other projects include a midblock crosswalk on the 300 block of North Main Street, pull-in parking on the west side and a signal replacement on the North Main and High Street intersection. This project will be completed this fall.
