Kent will overhaul North Mantua Street to help pedestrians and fix traffic problems

- Owen MacMillan

The City of Kent has begun a plan to overhaul the entrance to the city on state Route 43, as part of a joint renovation process with the Kent City School District and Davey Tree.

Called the North Mantua Street Improvements Agreement, the planning process will be headed by City Planner Jim Bowling with input from all three entities, as well as members of the public. Over the next few years, they’ll decide how to renovate 43, which becomes North Mantua Street upon entering Kent.
