Three major road and sidewalk projects are underway in Dayton, which are expected to improve pedestrian safety, walkability, and drivability in the city.
The three projects are:
- Curb extensions – also known as “bump-outs”– on the sidewalks along Sixth Avenue between McKinney Street and Berry Avenue.
- Construction of the Berry Street Connector, which will connect the north end of Berry Avenue to Manhattan Boulevard, which runs parallel to the flood levee along the Ohio River.
- Repaving of Ky. 9 from Mary Ingles Highway at Clark Street to O’Fallon Avenue.
“These major infrastructure improvements will help to address important transportation issues – for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic in our growing city,” said Dayton Mayor Ben Baker. “Both the Sixth Avenue bump-out project and the Berry Street Connector project have been years in the making, and we are excited to finally see these projects come to fruition this summer in downtown Dayton.”
