Those who can’t join in person may join virtually at sharedstreetsfw.org.
Funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s RAISE program, the project focuses on approximately 8.9 miles of major streets in Southeast Fort Wayne, including S. Anthony Boulevard, W. Paulding Road, E. Paulding Road, Fairfield Avenue/Tillman Road, and E. Tillman Road. These corridors are vital daily routes and play an important role in the identity, safety and economic future of surrounding neighborhoods.
The project will develop a comprehensive plan to make these streets safer, more connected, and more vibrant – supporting people of all ages and abilities whether they walk, bike, take transit, or drive. The effort will result in a Master Development Plan and Action Plan that includes roadway concepts, as well as recommendations for land use, housing, retail, and placemaking.
