Poland trustees vow to complete Route 170 sidewalk

POLAND

Township trustees are taking steps to add to the new sidewalk that extends along state Route 170 from Dobbins Elementary School to where the township and village meet near Nesbitt Street.

Though 1.2 miles of sidewalk has been installed, the township now is trying to extend the sidewalk to run across two properties where the existing sidewalk is extremely dilapidated so that the village and township sidewalks will be connected.

About 200 feet separate the two functional sidewalks that extend through the township and village along 170.

The new sidewalk was installed using $500,000 from a grant program called Safe Routes to Schools.

Township trustees talked to Councilwoman Linda Srnec at a township meeting Wednesday at which trustees promised to resolve the issue.
