The City of Toledo has been awarded $1.1 million through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program to support the Swan Creek Greenway project. This initiative will reconnect the Junction neighborhood with downtown Toledo through a multi-use trail, providing safer access to jobs, green spaces, and resources for residents.
The project, developed in collaboration with the Junction Coalition, focuses on community-driven planning and nature-based solutions like flood mitigation. It’s a vital step in addressing decades of disinvestment and building a more connected, resilient city.
