Grant Petition Opened for Roslyn Ave in Meyers Lake Area
County commissioners granted the Roslyn Avenue opening from Tuscarawas Street to 12th Street extension and postponed action on Raffid NW and Ruprich Road NW. The roads would connect Meyers Lake district to Canton Massillon Road, with swampy, muck-filled terrain requiring fill. Roslyn Ave chosen first due to shallow muck, while Raffid NW presents 38 to 45 feet of soft muck. A plan with the Canton board of education would have the county fill the swamp with timber and trees and the school board dump ashes to create a safe path for children to the Elizabeth Harter school and vehicular traffic in a few years.
