SitemapGlenwood Avenue sees a large amount of traffic every day, stretching from Western Reserve Road to Youngstown Mahoning Avenue.
A couple of groups want to study a portion of this road for potential improvements, but they need an approval from Youngstown City Counsel first.
Every day, drivers travel down Glenwood Avenue, which puts wear and tear on the roads.
So, the City of Youngstown along with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) is looking to get this road checked over.
“It’s going to be a study of the corridor to identify areas where there might be some pedestrian hazards, some safety issues,” said Chuck Shasho, deputy director of public works.
“Looking at public transit, to the bus infrastructure and perhaps bicycling into the future,” said Ian Beniston, YNDC executive director.
The plan is to study from Mahoning Avenue to Shields Road, which would include Boardman Township, Mill Creek Metro Parks, Mahoning County Engineers and ODOT.
The study would collect data to decide how to map out a future project.
