We're making changes to Shaker Boulevard between Woodhill Road and Cormere Avenue to address traffic safety concerns and improve the condition of the roadway.

Why Shaker Boulevard?
Over 50% of vehicles on Shaker Boulevard are travelling over the speed limit. We're working to create a street that's safer for everyone who lives, works, shops, and goes to school along Shaker Boulevard.
This project aligns with our Vision Zero commitment to end crashes that result in fatal and serious injuries. There were 150 crashes on this section of Shaker Boulevard between 2021-2025, with 3 of those crashes causing serious, life changing injuries.
Shaker Boulevard is also on our bikeway vision network. You can learn more about our bike network on our Cleveland Moves webpage.
