BOARDMAN — Mill Creek MetroParks is providing a temporary change in traffic patterns to permit vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists the opportunity to experience Daffodil Meadow this spring.

A slope failure last year resulted in the temporary closure of a section of East Newport Drive while the planning and construction of an extensive repair project is completed.

All park users will be permitted to travel to Daffodil Meadow and slightly beyond, at which point they will be instructed to turn around.

MetroParks Police has ordered park visitors to continue to abide by the directional and regulatory signage, as well as the barricades that prevent access to the roadway slide and future project site to ensure visitor safety during the closure and duration of the project.
