Project Overview

The City of Toledo is investing approximately $53 million—supported by a $20 million RAISE grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation—to make comprehensive upgrades to streets, sidewalks, and transit systems.

What We're Doing

  1. Catalyzing private sector investment in the Uptown, Junction, and Englewood neighborhoods
  2. Addressing key safety, mobility, and connectivity challenges and improving access to economic opportunity
  3. Improving individual and environmental health and quality of life


How We're Doing It

  • Improving utility infrastructure with new water and sewer lines
  • Improving roadways with 6.5 lane miles of reconstruction across 38 city blocks
  • Improving pedestrian safety with curb extensions, high visibility crosswalks, and enhanced streetscaping
  • Planting 1,000+ trees to reduce urban heat impacts in Uptown
  • Improving decorative street lighting by adding 290 new streetlights to the current 160 lights in place
  • Developing a Cutural Trail along Dorr St. corridor connecting the Mott Branch Library to 17th St. enhanced with gateway elements and public art that celebrate and share the rich history of the Dorr St. Corridor and Junction and Englewood neighborhoods.
  • NEW! TARTA Mobility Hub to serve as a centralized node of multi-modal activity with an elevated bus stop, decorative seating, energy efficient LED lighting, free wi-fi, new fare collection kiosks, and bike and scooter shelters
