“A lot of the times, traffic gets overwhelming, especially since with a lot of the festivals on the weekends,” said Squirrel City Jewelers owner Michael Faehnel.
With Squirrel City Jewelers and Off the Wagon being right on the corner of East Main Street, the two businesses said this area is very busy, and they believe these renovations will solve a lot of problems.City Engineer Jim Bowling said the city, Kent State University and other community partners have been working for more than five years to make improvements after Kent was called the worst crash corridor in Summit and Portage Counties from 2014 to 2018.
Bowling said the city had funding to make East Main Street safer and more comfortable up until the inflation spike, which forced them to pause their efforts. “These renovations will help a lot, especially with keeping people and small kids safe as they cross the street,” Bowling said.
