This project involves the installation of a 10 foot wide multi-use path,
comprised of both asphalt and concrete, increasing safety in the area for the
heavy pedestrian volume while also improving accessibility with the connection
of the existing Franklin Township path to the adjacent Kent State University
property.
The path will be located on the south side of Rhodes Road from the
intersection of Loop Road east to the City of Kent corporation line,
approximately 1725 lineal feet.
The Rhodes Road Access Path
project will involve tree removal, grade work and minor utility work in addition
to the path installation.
As of now, the construction of the Rhodes Road path is
scheduled to be performed by the City of Kent’s Central Maintenance Department
starting next spring 2011.
Both
projects will be completed jointly with KSU and Franklin Township through their
financial participation and by allowing access for connection of the existing
paths.
