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.

The City of Toledo is investing $53 million, including a $20 million RAISE grant, to enhance streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, and transit along the Dorr St. to Adams St. corridor. These upgrades aim to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity for residents, cyclists, and pedestrians. Community input is key—visit SurveyHero to share your thoughts!
