Akron city planners are seeking input from residents to identify safety concerns and prioritize future improvements. The city’s Safe Streets 4 All initiative is heading the information collection, which is funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All program.
Getting Involved
Residents can get involved by attending upcoming ward meetings or by taking an online survey. The city is focused on roadways in three neighborhoods: Sherbondy Hill, West Akron, and East Akron. Specifically, they are prioritizing two segments that include several intersections and corridors.
At a recent Ward 1 meeting, residents had the chance to see maps and share concerns. Starting July 16, residents can share their thoughts with planners at several ward meetings. The goal is to make roadways safer and easier for everyone to travel, whether walking, biking, rolling, using transit, or driving.
