- A project to overhaul the intersection of Cleveland Avenue NW and State Street NW is in the planning phase, with construction scheduled for 2027.
- A Canton resident who grew up in Greentown started a petition asking the county not to construct a roundabout. It has over 400 signatures.
LAKE TWP. − Robert Pavkov III grew up in Greentown.
He cares about the neighborhood and its future.
That’s why he’s launched an online petition opposing a potential plan by Stark County to install a roundabout at the intersection of Cleveland Avenue NW and State Street NW, also known as “Greentown Square.”
Residents are worried that a roundabout — or any major construction that would involve demolishing buildings around the intersection — would destroy Greentown.
“Pretty much everyone that saw the plans, nobody wants it. Nobody here wants it,” Pavkov said. “People that live outside of here want it because they think it’s going to speed their way to work faster. That’s it. It’s not people who actually live here and actually care about the community.”
