Lake Avenue Sidewalk Enhancement Project

The Lake Avenue Sidewalk Enhancement Project was proposed to replace the existing 3-6' wide sidewalk from West Boulevard to W. 117th Street in the city of Cleveland with a new 8' wide concrete sidewalk to fill a gap in the Lakefront Greenway, a key regional link in the Cuyahoga Greenways Plan, between Edgewater Park and the city of Lakewood's Lake Avenue bicycle lanes. 

After several months of targeted community engagement and considerable evaluation of feedback received, the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Metroparks, and Cuyahoga County have elected not to proceed with the current proposal for sidewalk enhancement.
