Roads and Safety Committee - Nov 5, 2026
Stow's paving program fell behind this fall because crews were busy replacing 71 catch basins. City engineers promised a full update at this meeting on where road work stands — including Seasons Road and Ward 3 — and whether the program is slipping behind schedule.

Roads and Safety Committee - Sep 24, 2026
Inspecting basins before paving revealed far more decayed ones than usual — up to 71 this year instead of 12–15. The no-bid Migchelbrink contract keeps custom basins flowing so paving projects finish right.
Roads and Safety Committee - Jul 9, 2026
Good news on commute corridors: the Kent Road signal project finished a month early and under budget, Liberty Road's waterline wraps up soon, and the smart signals on Routes 59 and 91 should start talking to each other within a month or two — easing the congestion residents complain about.
Finance Committee - Jun 18, 2026
The capital plan shows road projects moving ahead; Young Road's east-side sidewalk will be done within about a month. The Young Road Cemetery project carries a $1.2 million price tag split over two years, and the Progress Park erosion project was scrapped after a homeowner refused to sign off.
Roads and Safety Committee - Mar 12, 2026
The city's yearly paving and concrete repair program moved forward with bids opened and a low bidder selected. Crack sealing came in over budget and will be rebid. Residents can report curb and sidewalk problems to get locations into the repair rotation.
City Council - Feb 26, 2026
Council accepted $1.1 million in federal funds to repave Fishcreek Road from south of Graham Road to Kent Road.
