Summit Street Improvement Project Update
Posted Oct. 26, 2015
The Summit Street: Building a Better Way project is
designed to transform a one-mile stretch of East Summit
Street that runs through the heart of Kent State University’s
Kent Campus.
Don’t be surprised to see orange traffic signs and utility company workers on East Summit Street this fall. Preliminary utility work has begun and will continue intermittently for the remainder of the fall semester, as part of the Summit Street Improvement project. Flaggers will be directing traffic, and you may encounter delays at various times throughout the day. Motorists traveling Summit Street in coming weeks may want to allow for extra time to get to their destination.
Later this week near the Schwartz Center, Ohio Edison crews will be performing utility work that will block off some parking spaces in the Schwartz Center and the two adjacent commuter lots. Weather permitting, that work will take place on Thursday, Oct. 29, and Friday, Oct. 30, and should only impact the first few rows of parking in each lot.
The Summit Street project will make enhancements to a one-mile stretch of East Summit that runs through the heart of the Kent Campus. Traffic and other updates will be posted on the Summit Street website throughout the project.
