Parma City Council adopted Resolution 146-25 to dedicate city land for use as a public right-of-way to support the South Park Boulevard shared-use path, an Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) let project. City staff said the project is a 10-foot asphalt trail from Snow Road to Grantwood and that ODOT will manage advertising and construction. The city engineer reported an estimated construction cost of about $700,000 and said the city secured $650,000 in funding, leaving an estimated Parma share near $50,000.
