SitemapThe Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber today announced the date of the Girard Better Block event.
The event will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17 on West Liberty St. in Girard.
The event, hosted in partnership with the City of Girard and Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership, will feature temporary streetscape elements such as a bike lane and crosswalks, street trees and seating, pop-up businesses and a farmer’s market, safe cycling and crossing demonstrations, public art and activities for the family.
Traffic will be maintained on West Liberty for the entirety of the event, demonstrating how cars, pedestrians and cyclists can safely coexist in vibrant business districts.
The Girard Better Block event is patterned on the national Better Block model, as well as successful past events hosted by the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. in four Youngstown neighborhoods. Two other local Better Block events, in Fall 2016 and Spring 2017, will take place in Warren through the Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership.
