RELATED: Plans in works to improve pedestrian access near Dayton Mall
The project funded by the state would involve the Ohio Department of Transportation installing the signs on mast arms overhead on Ohio 725 east and west through Miamisburg, Miami Twp. and Washington Twp., Stanley said.
A portion of Ohio 741 would also be involved, he added, with the affected area encompassing much of the Miami Crossing District, formerly known as the Dayton Mall area.

The elevated signs would replace older versions and ground-mounted ones along the roads in the business and entertainment district, Stanley added.
“They’ll be much more visible and out overhead.”
Miamisburg City Council tonight is expected to approve a consent ordinance to work with ODOT on the project. Sign installation may not begin until 2020, Stanley said.
