Design Plans
The road will be completely reconstructed which includes removing all existing asphalt material and more, then built back up with stone and a thicker pavement that will last 25+ years with proper maintenance.
This project includes a road diet to take the area of 4 lanes down to 3 lanes, allowing for bike lanes to be established the entire length of the project and connect to Maumee Avenue.
Other improvements include:
- An 8-foot median at various locations
- Adding 6-foot parking bump outs in several areas, allowing for cars to park outside of the drivable roadway
- Replacing and updating sidewalks to a width of at least 5-feet
- Adding a new Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) crossing in front of Danny Thomas Park, Broadway Food Center, and Sofia Quintero Art and Cultural Center
- Replacing drive aprons (the part of your drive from the road to the sidewalk)
- New storm drains
About the Project
The City of Toledo was awarded federal funding for this project in 2019 to construct in 2024. Additional funding has been secured from the state over the past few years.
Kokosing Construction began the reconstruction in the Summer of 2024 and are expected to be finished by Memorial Day 2025.
Traffic will be maintained in both directions through the majority of the project. Some instances may call for one direction of traffic or intersections to be closed to complete certain construction activities.
Public Art
The project includes a public art component thanks to a collaboration with the Arts Commission, Toledo Design Collective, and the Sofia Quintero Art and Cultural Center.
Argentine American artist and sculptor Cecilia Lueza will create three 12-foot tall, 3.5 feet wide painted aluminum sculptures inside the newly constructed median between Crittenden and Western Avenues. Lueza's sculptures employ a monarch butterfly motif to honor the history of immigration and our connection to Mexico and other Central and South American countries. The monarch butterfly migrates from our area every fall to spend the winter in Mexico, then returns in the spring and summer.
