Referendum on Cable Rd. Improvement Project
Referendum on Cable Rd. Improvement Project
The Issue
This is a petition requesting a referendum on the proposed improvement project on North Cable Road in the City of Lima, OH.
Film of Lima City Council's first reading of the project, 2/2/2026 (fast forward to 1:45:16)
Film of Lima City Council's second reading of the project, 2/9/2026 (fast forward to 18:35)
Film of Lima City Council's third reading of the project, 2/23/2026 (Privilege of the floor pertaining to project running from 18:01-23:10, reading of ordinance begins at 33:53)
Much opposition has been voiced against this project but has been largely ignored by the powers that be, including five Lima, OH city council members. They claim that the project is necessary to make North Cable Road safer, but it will actually make Cable Road, one of the most travelled roads in Allen County, even more difficult to travel. This petition requests a referendum on the voting that the city council members did across three different readings and takes this vote to the residents of the City of Lima, OH.
To show your opposition to this project, sign this petition along with your address and name, so that City Council President Jamie Dixon can take your opposition seriously if you live in the City of Lima, because in his eyes, your vote doesn't matter if you live anywhere else. Sign the petition anyway, for that matter. The more voices that rise up over this matter, the better the outcome will be. Thank you for your support.
