November Mayor Letter For Stow Residents

Press release from the City of Stow:

October 31, 2021

"I have exciting news about an endeavor you will see come to fruition next month! Our first issue of the Community Connection – The Official Magazine of Stow & Munroe Falls will launch. This is a collaboration with Stow-Munroe Falls City Schools and the City of Munroe Falls. You’re sure to love our new quarterly publication showcasing our amazing cities, our great schools, our thriving retail districts, our fascinating residents, our incredible parks and greenspaces, all of the outstanding things happening in our community and much more!

The leaves are falling! We are gearing up to launch a significant City service, our Residential Leaf Pick Up Program, for 2021 on November 1. For a full list of scheduled pick-up dates, districts, and guidelines, visit the following: Leaf Pick Up Program.

We have many great projects happening in our City. Your voice and opinions are very important as we move forward. Please take a few moments to get involved. Here’s how:

Connectivity Plan

We are seeking to build upon our existing bikeways and trails through the Stow Connectivity Plan – a Connecting Communities Planning Grant. We are in the process of developing a strategy to create the missing connections between the existing routes and the people that use them. The city will explore the potential of shared-use paths and side paths as the primary facilities for the city’s trail network. Use the Interactive Feedback Map to provide your specific comments about transportation.

Parks & Recreation Master Plan

We are undertaking a master plan process to establish priorities for the future of our parks, trails, recreation facilities, and programs and services within the City. As part of the process, the community is invited to participate in an online survey that will be conducted by our consulting firm. Everyone is encouraged to participate in filling it out. This will aid the City of Stow in taking a community-driven approach to making decisions that will enrich the future of our City and positively affect the quality of life we provide for our residents. We will inform you when the survey is available. Stay tuned!

#YOUMATTER

We all feel the exhaustion that continues to build as we are navigating Covid-19. Please visit our Mental Health resources page if you or someone you know needs help, especially throughout the
holidays. There is truly no way to show our gratitude and appreciation to all those that have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic. We THANK YOU all! Be sure to scan the QR code in this newsletter to take you directly to our #YOUMATTER page.

I pledge to continue my accessibility to our residents and businesses. Your ideas, input and feedback are so very beneficial in understanding the concerns of our community. I have the best interest of Stow at heart and I hope you do as well."

Sincerely,

John Pribonic

Mayor, City of Stow
