Federal Grant Designed to Make Walk to Youngstown Schools Safer - WFMJ

Youngstown City Council is working on a measure to give children in Youngstown a safer walk to school.

Council on Wednesday approved use of a $30,000 grant to improve sidewalks and crosswalks around the city.

The grant from the Department of Transportation will be used for a variety of purposes.

Council members say work is already underway around Taft Elementary School, but the grant money will be spread across the city.
