A project focused on upgrading Public Square, namely the Superior Avenue crossing and removal of the jersey barriers, has been approved by Cleveland Planning Commission. The plan provides visual and physical barriers to vehicles to increase safety, focuses bus traffic along Superior Avenue through the Square, narrows and better protects pedestrians crossing Superior, and — yes — calls for the removal of the unsightly jersey barriers.

The City of Cleveland is renewing its community choice electricity purchasing program. Eligible customers of First Energy Corp. and its subsidiary, the Illuminating Company can expect to receive a mailed notice of the updated rates and program details in July 2023. No action is required, customers will be automatically enrolled with an option to opt-out.
We expect the Summer 2023 (June, July, August) electricity rates from First Energy/Illuminating Co. to be higher than normal due to significant changes in natural gas prices. If you are a low-income household experiencing high-energy burdens, we encourage you to enroll in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP). Cleveland residents can contact CHN Housing Partners at 216-574-7100 for application assistance.
As a customer you are likely to receive marketing approaches (door knocks, phone calls, etc.) from unregulated energy suppliers, we advise you to NOT sign anything, write down the representative’s name, company information, and immediately contact PUCO at (800) 686-7876. These companies are not apart of the aggregation program and could lock you into an unreasonable contract, making you vulnerable to scams.
