Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Dayton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Needmore Road single-family subdivision
A 45.75-acre planned development amendment would bring a new single-family housing development to the Kittyhawk area near Old Troy Pike and Needmore Road — new homes, new neighbors, and more traffic on the north side.
Neighborhood Blight, Trash, and Code Enforcement
Residents pushed for an Urban Preservation District in Hillview, a historic designation for Pineview, cleanup of blighted North Main Street properties, and better zoning/records transparency at 18 Mercer Ave.
Dayton Recovery Plan Demolition Progress
174 of 334 planned demolitions are done this year and all ARPA-funded ones are complete, but the mayor wants a decades-long accounting and a real strategy for the 6,000+ vacant lots the City mows. Neighbors often end up maintaining abandoned lots themselves.
