Front Street and Main Street are East Toledo’s connections to the riverfront and downtown, but both have seen a high number of severe crashes involving vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. This reconstruction focuses on mobility and connectivity, safety, and access to economic opportunity.

The City plans to make improvements to two key intersections:

• Front and Main will see road realignment, new pedestrian ramps, and improved crosswalk conditions
• Main and Boers-Boyer will see some intersection realignment and simplification as well as a new pedestrian connections to International Cove and Glass City Metropartk

The City plans to make improvements to the Front Street and Main Street corridors:

• Front Street from Main Street to the Craig Street Bridge will include median islands, sidewalk, trees, streetscaping and new pedestrian signals and crosswalks
• Front Street from Oak Street to the Craig Street Bridge will be resurfaced
• Main Street from Starr Avenue to Boers-Boyer Way will include new and improved pedestrian crosswalks, sidewalks, and streetscaping
• Main Street from Front Street to Starr Avenue will be resurfaced
• TARTA bus stops on Main Street at the Marina Lofts and Starr Ave. will receive new bus pads, station platforms, and transition ramps
  
• Updated roadway layouts support TARTA's planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project

What it will look like.

In all of our road reconstruction projects, the City of Toledo is working to integrate more safety and accessibility for multimodal transportation options. With this project, we are working to connect the neighborhood to Glass City Metropark and the downtown Toledo riverfront.

Including trees in the median will help slow traffic and mitigate urban heat.

Improved lighting and crosswalks will reduce the number of crashes and keep pedestrians safe.
