Happy to celebrate today as Akron Civic Commons and the Summit Lake Neighborhood breaks ground on the Summit Lake Trail. This resident led project will create a vital connection to improve neighborhood access, recreation and transportation.

This is the first project of the resident-led Akron Civic Commons 2.0 work at Summit Lake. This 2.75-mile multi-purpose trail will be accessible for hikers, walkers, & bicyclists, & links the eastern & western neighborhoods around Summit Lake & connects to the Towpath Trail.

“With these shovels of dirt, we are moving from dreams to reality as we develop the Ohio & Erie Canal Summit Lake Trail and reconnecting our communities both physically and emotionally.” - Dan Rice, President and CEO Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition v clevelanddotcom cleveland.com/akron/2022/10/…

Truly incredible what's happening in that part of Akron that was once polluted and neglected.

Who just happens to have a old spotting scope tripod that they aren’t using anymore lying around and wouldn’t mind giving it to a young desperate birder named Jeffrey Ward?

“Kenmore Boulevard has a new record store to complement the recording studios, instrument shops and live-performance venues that give credence to the strip’s recent designation as Akron’s “Music Row.”

Hearing the stories of the neighborhoods that were removed when the Innerbelt was built and being able to share those stories has been an incredible experience. Hear stories from Pastor Robert DeJournett, Bishop Joey Johnson, Annmarie Ford and more here: summitmemory.org/digital/custom…
