The Honorary Boulevard Street Naming Award is a commemorative site located in the median on Broad Boulevard, between Third and Fourth Streets.
This initiative pays homage to the people and organizations that selflessly give back to Cuyahoga Falls residents and the city as a whole. The Honorary Boulevard site is a collaborative project that includes partnering with the Neighborhood Development Services and business leaders.
It is important to note that this is an honorary gesture only and does not change the official designation of Broad Boulevard for postal purposes.
