When will Merriman Hills streetlight repairs begin and how can I report outages?
The streetlight in front of Janet and Rick Merideths’ Merriman Hills home has been out since 2023. The couple, whose streetlight pole has a cardboard sign on it indicating that it does not work, attended a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday night to hear updates from FirstEnergy representatives and Akron’s Director of Public Service, Chris Ludle.

Help us tell more stories for Akronites
Every day, our team works to deliver stories that reflect the different voices and experiences of those that live in Akron and Summit County, holding leaders accountable and highlighting solutions that move us forward.
Just this year, we’ve continued our nonpartisan reporting on how policy decisions both at both the state and federal levels are having direct impacts here in Akron.
We are keeping an eye on investigations at Akron Public Schools, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik’s plans to support new affordable housing in the city and much more.
We are also telling the stories of Akronites like Julia Perry, who wrote more than 100 pieces of music and conducted some of the best orchestras in Europe. And Kali Oliver, a talented modern dancer, who dreamed one day of joining the world-renowned Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. That dream came true in 2024.
All this to say we’re here for Akronites everyday. And we’re always free to read.
