Road still washed out months after flood leaves school district concerned [Video]

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — In August 2024, News 5 was in the Merriman Valley after devastating flooding swept through the region.

Businesses and homes were shuttered with damage as families tried to pick up the pieces.

During that storm, Canyon Brook Drive collapsed. The road has been shut down ever since.

Canyon Brook Drive is a small road leading into the Timber Top apartment complex off Northampton Road.

For years, the Woodridge Local School District used it to transport more than 200 students who live there.

Since the beginning of this school year, school bus drivers have been unable to use Canyon Brook Drive.

The alternative is to pick up students using Canyon Brook Parkway, a steep hill inside the Timber Top apartment complex.
