Complete & Green Streets Program Overview
The goal of the City of Cleveland’s Complete & Green Streets (CGS) program is to design roadway projects that expand travel opportunities for modes like walking, biking, and transit; improve green infrastructure; and improve overall safety for all roadway users.
Below is how the CGS process works:
- A multi-department City staff team meets regularly to review and discuss potential Complete & Green Streets projects.
- Once a project is selected, it is presented to the Transportation Infrastructure Advisory Committee (TIAC) for design input at the earliest stage of project planning. Updates on other projects, plans, funding and related topics are also often shared at these meetings which are held quarterly (March, June, September, December) at 10:30am l Room 514 l City Hall.
- Once a project design is finalized, responses to TIAC comments are posted publicly explaining why or why not a particular element was or was not included.
- A progress report is published annually and the City's multimodal transportation plan (Cleveland Moves) is updated every 5 years. The City also produces a monthly newsletter which provides comprehensive updates (see link below to read and/or subscribe).
Transportation Infrastructure Advisory Committee (TIAC)
A key component of the CGS program is the opportunity for expanded community engagement through the establishment of a 10-person Transportation Infrastructure Advisory Committee (TIAC).
As mentioned above, the TIAC reviews and provides comments on CGS projects which are then reviewed during the scoping of a project when it enters the design phase.
The TIAC is also a thought partner in helping City staff problem solve certain design issues, identify additional funding opportunities, and assist with things beyond the drawing board such as public engagement.
The TIAC is appointed by the Mayor and City Council. Meetings are held quarterly beginning in March on the first Thursday at 10:30am in Room 514 of City Hall.
