Project Overview
The City of Toledo is investing $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
- Catalyzing private sector investment in the Uptown, Junction, and Englewood neighborhoods
- Addressing key safety, mobility, and connectivity challenges that disproportionately impact the area’s most disadvantaged residents by improving their access to economic opportunity
- 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 street lighting by adding 160 new streetlights to the current 160 lights in place
- Adding some painted and some protected bike lanes to 17th St. between I-75 and Adams
- Enhancing Dorr St. overpass to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety and connectivity
- Adding a multi-use path to Dorr St. that connects with a protected bike lane on 17th St. from Adams St. to Washington St. to provide a dedicated pedestrian and cyclist corridor from Junction through Uptown
- 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
