The City of Youngstown will be receiving a $500,000 grant from the Clean Ohio Trails Fund to add a bike connection between Downtown and Mill Creek Park. Though the article calls it a trail, it appears to be just bike lanes. The lane will begin on Tod Avenue in the park, go south on West Avenue, then east on Mahoning Avenue and over the Spring Common Bridge into Downtown. A future phase will add lanes to connect to the planned amphitheater/riverfront park. Phase 2 will likely go east on Federal Street, south on Chesnut Street, & east on Front Street, or connect to the park at the end of Chesnut Street. Detailed design work will hopefully come out in the coming weeks. This will be the Youngstown area's first proper bike lanes (as far as I know).
Here is a map I made of where the lanes are supposed to be. The red line is phase 1 and the yellow is phase 2 (Phase 2's route is not 100% certain):
