A proposal to bring a streetcar service that would provide transportation to four economic hubs in Stark County, including the Akron-Canton Airport and Downtown Canton, is under consideration.
The streetcar’s proposed 9.8-mile route from the Cornerstone Transit Center to Downtown Canton to the airport would use the former Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad track that runs along West Branch Nimishillen Creek, and I-77, between Downtown Canton and the Summit County Line.
The streetcar vehicles would be self-powered to avoid using any overhead wires like traditional streetcars. The Stark Area Regional Transit Authority said the line, currently owned by Akron METRO RTA, supports two freight trains each week and could be used by streetcars with only minimal improvements.
