East Cleveland.
Located in the southwestern corner of East Cleveland, the focus area for the project is adjacent to Lakeview Cemetery and Cleveland’s University Circle. Project concepts will encourage greater connectivity within the neighborhood and between the neighborhood and amenities such as Lakeview Cemetery, Windermere & Superior Stations, and University Circle, including enhanced multimodal access.
Focus area.
The placemaking plan for the focus area will concentrate on the Euclid Avenue commercial corridor and the adjacent residential areas. The community process will explore streetscape elements, a vision for the greenspaces in the neighborhood, and a potential entryway to Lakeview Cemetery at the western end of Forest Hill Avenue.
