In a drive to take full ownership of an effort to reshape highways, transit and public spaces on the downtown lakefront, the City of Cleveland announced Wednesday it is embarking on a new master plan for the area.
CLEVELAND, Ohio —
But Bibb doesn’t want traffic considerations to be the only driver of the lakefront project. And he recognizes that the public hasn’t yet had a chance to have a say in the discussion. No public meetings have yet been held on the project. The new study area will extend from the Warehouse District on the west to East 18th Street on the east, and the city’s municipal parking lots along South Marginal Road.
Since it began earlier this year, the transportation feasibility study has been broadened to include options for lakefront connectors that go beyond the Haslam proposal. At least eight alternatives are on the table.Huang said the master plan for the lakefront will add an even broader dimension to the city’s vision.
And, she said, the lakefront should be a regional amenity that’s equitable and inclusive of people who “have had historical access to the lakefront and those who haven’t.” An early estimate placed the cost of the Haslam proposal at $229 million, but there are no estimates yet for any alternatives under study in the feasibility analysis.
