“Everyone has a vision for what East 185 or a downtown can be,” stated Councilman Polensek, Ward 8 Councilman City of Cleveland. “I am extremely excited about the prospects for the future of the East 185th Street Corridor. The district is a priority for our community. We are counting on valued input from the public regarding the TLCI plan and our efforts to improve the area to serve the neighborhood and the region as well. East 185 is a great place to live, work and visit. Can we improve what we currently have?” “I believe we can by working together, and we look forward to the process and public input”

Mayor Cervenik, from the City of Euclid added, “The collaboration of the Cuyahoga Planning Commission, City of Cleveland, City of Euclid and Northeast Shores will result in a unified approach to revitalizing this important street.”

The TLCI grant is being used to develop specific recommendations for pedestrian and bicycle-friendly transportation improvements, land use and zoning, redevelopment scenarios (or opportunities), and design guidelines for public and private improvements that will promote mixed-use and transit-oriented development (TOD) along the corridor.

URS Corporation (AECOM), the consultants, as well as the City of Cleveland, Euclid and the Northeast Ohio Area Coordinating Agency (NOACA), Cuyahoga County Planning Commission, and Northeast Shores are counting on public input to plan for making East 185th Street a move vibrant and livable community.

“The project grant was awarded recently, and the resulting plan will be completed by the end of 2015. The resulting plan depends on citizen and stakeholder input.” said Brian Friedman, Executive Director of Northeast Shores. Brain Friedman further added, “The plan comes to us because together with the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission, and the Cities of Euclid, and Cleveland, together, we submitted a compelling application. The $110,000 funding for this initiative comes to us from NOACA, as well as the required local match investment by: The City of Euclid, City of Cleveland, Hospice of the Western Reserve, University Hospitals, Euclid Hospital: Cleveland Clinic as well as various merchants and Institutions.”
