City OKs Tallmadge Road Resurfacing

Tallmadge Road will be getting some attention after school ends in June.

At its Monday night meeting, Cuyahoga Falls City Council voted unanimously to resurface the road — between Newberry Street and Clyde Avenue — at a cost of $500,000, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

A state grant will cover 80 percent of the total, so the city will be responsible for about $100,000.

The road will not close but will go down to one-lane traffic during that time, the newspaper reported.

Cuyahoga Falls Patch readers weighed in on whether they wanted to see the road improvements. Here's what they said on the website: 

• ES: "Please please pave that road. I expected it to be paved years ago vs. some of the other not so bad roads get done."

• JBoss: "I've lived on Falls avenue for 7 years and I think my street has been paved twice in that time!"

• Terry: "If they don't do the whole road, they should at least take care of the section around Preston school and Taylor."

• Missy Cox: "YES! Please do Tallmadge Road! I've been saying for years that it has needed done!"

• Will Wilson: "This section of road definitely needs come attention."
