St. Clair Ave. is one of the most traveled corridors in the City of Cleveland. It is a major arterial that courses through three neighborhoods, three CDC service areas, four council wards, and two county districts. St. Clair Avenue directly serves over 46, 000 residents in northeast Cleveland. The corridor supports a mixture of uses that range from retail to industrial and residential to institutional. Launching a study of this magnitude is so critical because there are currently several planning related initiatives going on the City of Cleveland that could provide additional resources and spur broader collaborative development.
