CANTON, Ohio (AP) — The southeast street named for Pro Football Hall of Famer Alan Page has no road sign.
The road, which runs from Cherry Avenue SE to 17th Street SE, is bumpy and ends at a gate after meandering through Skyline Terrace Apartments.
Twila Page, sister of Alan Page, said she decided to advocate for improvements after her nephew made a recent visit and was dismayed at what he found. On April 8, she emailed Mayor Thomas Bernabei, stating the street and neighborhood’s condition “does not reflect the morals nor the values of one of Canton’s famed black families.
