Site work for a mixed-use development in Akron, Ohio. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway; and sidewalk / parking lot.

**As of August 29, 2025, this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for the award has not yet been established.** METRO currently operates an intermodal transit center in downtown Akron. The transit center serves all of our fixed route service in addition to Greyhound and 2 other transit authorities. When the transit center opened in 2012, it incorporated a state-of-the-art feature at the time with digital displays at each of our 40 bus loading locations. These signs gave customers critical wayfinding information regarding their bus route as well as important messages regarding pertinent events related to METRO service. Since 2012 these signs have now exceeded their useful life as they are no longer supported by the manufacturer and parts have been discontinued. METRO intends to solicit proposals for new digital wayfinding signs that will provide our customers with real-time information as well as any other critical messaging that needs broadcasted.
