Project Background

The Stow Road Sidewalk Project will connect to the E. Streetsboro Street (SR 303) sidewalk and go south to Ravenna Street. It is part of the Sidewalk and Trail Master Plan 2021-2025 that Council approved a number of years ago. The Plan provides a continued effort to provide safe and practical community-wide bicycle and pedestrian connectivity throughout the community. Another remaining section scheduled as part of the 2021-2025 Connectivity Plan includes a sidewalk along Ravenna Street from S. Hayden Parkway to Stow Road (2025). During development of the Plan, a scoring matrix, developed with public input, evaluated these sections that received high scores due to their connectivity to existing neighborhoods, trails, and streets. Recognizing the importance of connectivity, Hudson City Council prioritized these streets, aiming to advance the City's commitment to fostering a more pedestrian- and bike-friendly environment.

Project Design and Construction


Sidewalk Alignment



City staff, along with the Consultant, GAI Consultants, has discussed the proposed sidewalk alignments along Stow Road and have provided 4 options. A public open house will be held on November 7, 2024 to review the proposed alignments. After reviewing public comments and the Consultant's recommendations, a proposed layout for the sidewalks will be submitted to Council to see if they are in agreement with the recommended alignments. A motion to approve these alignments will follow if acceptable.

    Will there be any physical barriers between Stow Rd. and the sidewalk to protect pedestrians?

    HLitowitz asked 22 days ago

    The recommended offset between the road edge and sidewalk is a minimum of six (6) feet.  Where possible, without negative impacts to private property, the City will exceed this dimension and create a larger greenspace between the new sidewalk and roadway.  Where the sidewalk is placed less than six (6) feet from the roadway, curb or other treatment will be installed.
