Welcome to the Salem Avenue Peace Corridor Site!
The Salem Avenue Peace Corridor is a vitalization effort to establish Salem Avenue and adjacent neighborhoods as communities of peace by intentionally cultivating safety, prosperity, community, and quality of life.
UPDATE: The Steering Committee has held several neighborhood and stakeholder meetings, including a well-attended Town Hall in May, 2011 (left photo). The Salem Avenue Peace Corridor™ initiative is a collaboration of neighborhoods, business, schools, faith-based institutions, city officials, regional volunteers, and average citizens taking responsibility for the future of our cherished city: Dayton, Ohio.
Inspired and anchored by the Community of Peace (COP)™ Garden development of Treva Jenkins, the Salem Avenue Peace Corridor envisions a thriving, healthy community through intentional beautification, safety measures, business growth, and neighborhood involvement. Salem Avenue, with its historic legacy, unique neighborhoods, and economic potential will soon be a Regional Destination for those seeking eclectic experiences, diversity and community, as well as budding gardens, bike paths, walking tours, and friendship.

Envision a Salem Avenue completely vitalized with banners and artwork, benches and gardens, businesses and pedestrians in a cultural fusion of families and visitors. It's happening. The Salem Avenue Peace Corridor means safety, prosperity, and quality of life!
THE TIME IS NOW! The Salem Avenue Peace Corridor is the Northern Gateway to Downtown Dayton. This initiative has great potential to change the dynamics not only of Dayton’s Northern Gateway but the entire Region. From the new Richard Holbrooke Bridge to Hillcrest Avenue, positive changes are already changing the face of Salem through volunteer grassroots efforts in beautification, street cleanup, event sponsoring, and signage. Yet it's not only Salem Avenue proper -- soon the adjacent neighborhoods will see the tbenefits of increased safety, prosperity, community, and quality of life!
Transformation Dayton: Citizens are on the move. Get involved, today!
