Toledo to host street planning forums

Press Release:

CITY ENGINEERS TO HOST STREET PLANNING FORUMS FOR COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND INPUT

The City of Toledo Division of Engineering Services will host a series of forums to review street planning. The first meeting will be March 12 from 6-8 p.m. at the Sanger Branch Library at 3030 W. Central Avenue.

This is the second annual series of street forums to improve citizen input in street planning for Toledo. Sessions will be held in each of the city’s six council districts. City administrators hope to review with citizens which streets are included in the city’s 2013 repaving and reconstruction program and how they are selected for repair, and which city divisions do work to repave or repair streets and how to contact them for assistance. Administrators will be on hand to work with residents in small groups, answering questions and collaborating to create district feedback, priorities and recommendations for the 2014 street program planning.

All meetings will be held from 6-8 p.m. A full schedule of dates and locations for the 2013 forums follows.
