(Fleet Avenue to Crete Road, Ward 12)
CLEVELAND – The City of Cleveland, working in cooperation with Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), has initiated a project that will construct a trail to connect the existing trail on the south side of Fleet Avenue to the south end of a future trail constructed with CUY-77-11.21 (near Chard Avenue). Trail construction will include various roadway improvements along East 48th Street, Independence Road and Crete Road including curb, sidewalk, drive apron replacement, as needed, upgrades to ADA ramps, median reconfigurations, traffic signal modifications, lighting relocations and roadway resurfacing. The estimated length of project is 1,500 feet.
The project is derived from the Cuyahoga Greenways Plan (2019). The Greenways Plan aggregated many prior planning efforts, including Cleveland Metroparks reservation Master Plans, the NOACA Bicycle Plan Update, prior Transportation for Livable Communities Initiative (TLCI) plans including the Downtown Connector Trail Washington Reservation Metropark to East 9th Street (2010, update 2012) and Slavic Village TLCI Greenway Book (2008), as well as community-level plans.
