Share your feedback about key corridors on the south side of Fort Wayne ⬇️

The City of Fort Wayne is inviting residents, businesses, and community stakeholders to help shape the future of several key corridors through the Southeast Corridors Planning Project.

This effort focuses on approximately 8.9 miles of major streets in Southeast Fort Wayne, including S. Anthony Boulevard, W. Paulding Road, E. Paulding Road, Fairfield Avenue/Tillman Road, and E. Tillman Road.

Community input will play a vital role in guiding the plan. Residents are encouraged to get involved by participating in a Community Design Charrette, completing surveys, and sharing feedback throughout the process.

Don't forget, Paulding Road construction started back up this week between Fairfield Avenue and Hoagland Avenue in the Fairfield Terrace Belmont Neighborhood Association, near Woodhurst Community Association.

This phase, the City of Fort Wayne will replace the concrete pavement, install the traffic signal at the intersection of Paulding and Calhoun, install medians with landscaping, and install a new sidewalk on the west side of Fairfield Avenue from the Courts of Woodhurst to Candlelite Court.

The posted detour is from Fairfield Avenue to Tillman Road to Lafayette Street until the project is finished.
