Downtown redevelopment phase two (river/Water Street area)
Kent
Summary
The city has to spend millions relocating sewers near the Cuyahoga River between Water Street and Stowe Street, and wants to use that disruption as a chance to redo the whole area — pedestrian connections, farmers market improvements, maybe even a splash pad. Workshops are set for later this month, with public input on January 28.

Impact analysis
Sewer relocation will cost millions — funding isn't figured out yet — but staff hope to phase it like downtown redevelopment and East Main Street.
Downtown businesses, farmers market visitors, and anyone who uses the riverfront and North Water Street area.
