Council committee advances Interbelt Master Plan after community-led process

Planning staff presented the Interbelt Master Plan to the Planning & Economic Development Committee and asked council to endorse a community-led vision for the vacant Inner Belt corridor. "Master plan is available at akroninnerbelt.com and on the city's website as well," planner Dylan Garretano told the committee, describing a year-long process that included more than 900 community interactions and five major strategies ranging from neighborhood investments to unlocking land beneath the highway.
