PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Infrastructure improvements

  • Pedestrian safety improvements 

  • Enhance pedestrian experience​

  • Corridor rebranding

  • Public art and gateway

The planning study was completed by the Famicos Foundation in conjunction with the City of Cleveland, TMS Engineering, and institutional stakeholders in 2013.

ROADWAY AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS

  • The East 140th Street pavement resurfacing extends from St. Clair Avenue to Lakeshore Boulevard, approximately 1.37 miles.

  • From St. Clair to I-90: East 140th Street will be narrowed and rehabilitated by resurfacing pavement and reconstruction of drainage facilities.

  • From I-90 to Lakeshore: East 140th Street will maintain its existing width.  Roadway will be rehabilitated by resurfacing pavement and reconstruction of drainage facilities.

  • The streetscape along East 140th will be made safer and visually enhanced.  Improvements include:
