On Thursday,
July 20, construction began to improve infrastructure around Taft
Elementary.
Sidewalks will be replaced
where necessary, curb ramps will be installed to meet ADA-compliance, and new
sidewalks will be installed on Homestead St.
The improvements were funded by a grant to the City of Youngstown
through the Ohio Department of Transportation Safe Routes to School program. Improvements will be complete for the start
of the 2017-2018 school year. Funding
has been secured to address issues at additional schools in the next few years,
including Harding, Williamson, and McGuffey Elementary Schools.
