Vincent Street rebuilding nearly complete; pedestrian-activated crosswalk at Bell Street planned
Summary
Officials said the Vincent Street rebuilding project is essentially finished, with a sidewalk narrower than typical due to ODOT-approved guardrails; a pedestrian-activated traffic signal at Bell Street is expected within the year and will complete a loop trail connection to the Cleveland Street bridge and Riverside Park.
The commission reported that the Vincent Street rebuilding project is largely complete and that staff are refining plans for hillside plantings. Officials noted the rebuilt sidewalk is narrow because of Ohio Department of Transportation requirements tied to guardrail placement.
Members said a pedestrian-activated traffic signal at the Bell Street crosswalk is planned and likely to be installed within the year. Commissioners described that the work on Vincent Street completes the loop trail that leads to the Cleveland Street bridge and connects to Riverside Park.
No additional funding decisions or formal approvals were recorded for the remaining planting proposals; staff will continue to refine the planting plan and return to the commission as needed.
