The Federal Highway Administration awarded the City of Toledo $1.386 million on March 5, 2026, under the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program (CFDA 20.940) to support planning, design, and community engagement activities for the Swan Creek Greenway, a multi-use trail project along Swan Creek in Toledo, Ohio. The project will reconnect the disadvantaged Junction neighborhood to downtown Toledo, addressing the isolation created when Interstate 75 displaced Junction residents in the 1960s. The greenway planning and design work will improve mobility and connectivity to jobs and economic opportunity, address environmental burdens, and improve quality of life for residents in the area. Performance of work occurs in Toledo, Ohio, with a period of performance through June 30, 2028.

The swan creek greenway planning project will support planning, design, and community engagement activities for a multi-use trail along swan creek in toledo, ohio to reconnect the disadvantaged junction neighborhood to downtown toledo. The construction of interstate 75 in the 1960S displaced junction residents and cut off the neighborhood from downtown. This project's planning, design, and community engagement activities will advance the development of the proposed greenway, which has been identified as a priority in neighborhood planning efforts, will improve mobility and connectivity to jobs and economic opportunity, address environmental burdens, and improve quality of life for junction residents.
