River Wall, Airport Tree Agreement, Meeting Times & More on Commission Agenda
By Beth Milligan | Nov. 9, 2026
Commissioners tonight (Monday) will discuss options for addressing a deteriorating retaining wall along the Boardman River in the 100-block alley of Front Street downtown. The wall has been rated as in “serious” condition, requiring both short-term emergency repairs and long-term solutions that could include removing the wall entirely and naturalizing the riverbank – significantly reducing alley parking.
The wall is one of several items on a busy agenda that also includes a closed session to discuss a potential airport agreement for tree maintenance at Oakwood Cemetery, an earlier start to commission meetings in 2027, and more.
