The Dorr St. to Adams St. planning team met with neighbors in December 2024 to understand what is most important to them. Based on that feedback, the team made some design choices. Now, we want to check in and make sure that we are moving in the direction that honors the community.

Project Overview
The City of Toledo is investing approximately $53 million—supported by a $20 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation—to make comprehensive upgrades to streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, and transit systems.
What We're Doing

- 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
- Adding a cycle track to 17th St. between I-75 and Adams
- Enhancing Dorr St. overpass to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety and connectivity
- Developing a Cutural Trail along Dorr St. corridor featuring a well-lit multi-use path connecting the Mott Branch Library to the 17th St. cycle track enhanced with gateway elements and public art that celebrate and share the rich history of the Dorr St. Corridor and Junction and Englewood neighborhoods.
