Ravenna considers slicing Day Street in two, and possibly adding a cul-de-sac

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Ravenna City Council has a decision to make: They can split Day Street in two or wait years for the state to approve upgraded crossings at Day and Chestnut streets.

The choice comes from ABC Railroad, which owns the tracks that intersect Day Street. If city leaders agree to close the crossing, the only question is what the ends of the street will look like: a cul-de-sac, which Fire Chief Mark Chapple recommends, or a simple and cheaper dead end.
