KENMORE NEIGHBORHOOD ALLIANCE

Create spaces that sing through signage, public art and "safe and clean"efforts that magnify what's good about the neighborhood: pedestrian and bike paths and wayfinding signage have been installed. In conjunction with volunteers, we tend to hundreds of native ohio flowers and plants in the boulevard medians, and have trash clean up events. A creative placemaking plan has been recently developed to complement the public art murals better kenmore has already completed. A quarterly community safety meeting provides a platform for community members to voice their concerns. In 2024, we installed historic district welcome signs and wayfinding signs from the newly constructed summit lake hike & bike trail connector of the ohio erie & canalway towpath trail to the boulevard historic district.

Engage the community around critical issues: we successfully lobbied akronpublic schools to rebuild miller south and pfeiffer elementary on the site of the former kenmore high school building, just one block north of theboulevard, a construction project valued at 62,000,000. Enrollment is expected to begin in fall 2027.
