Friday, June 7, 2024 — Cleveland — The City of Cleveland announced its 2024 Summer Pool Schedule today, which will allow residents to enjoy the various outdoor pools throughout the city starting this Saturday, June 8 at noon.

Last year, the City had to modify its summer pool schedule due to the nationwide lifeguard shortage that other cities – like Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Atlanta – also experienced.  This City made a concerted effort to improve recruitment heading into this year, which included:

Incentivizing lifeguard training by offering high school students the opportunity to earn pay while taking classes – previously, candidates had to complete training first before being hired and earning pay

Increasing pay again to over $15/hour once hired – the third year in a row that pay was increased as lifeguards previously made $11/hour in 2021.

Held multiple training classes at rec centers across the City from September 2023 through May 2024

Utilized various routes to spread awareness through social media, working with local media partners, pushing out robocalls to residents, and other methods

Despite these many efforts, the City saw a decrease in applications and is faced with another lifeguard shortage, which is something that other areas of the country – like Milwaukee, Arkansas, Virginia, and Maine – are experiencing again this year.

“The lifeguard shortage continues to be an issue that communities across the country face and that is no different here in Cleveland,” said Recreation Commissioner Sam Gissentaner.  “We strategically came up with a plan that maximizes our limited resources through a creative schedule that allows all operable pools citywide to be open throughout the summer with safety at top of mind.  This ensures that all of our residents will be able to enjoy their local pool.”

The Division of Recreation is still actively encouraging anyone who has a Red Cross lifeguarding certification and wants to lifeguard in Cleveland – even if you don’t live in the city – to call (216)-664-3987.  Those who already have a certification can go through a fast-tracked application process and be hired to work this summer.

Pools will operate under the following schedule, but are subject to daily changes depending on staffing levels.

OPERATIONAL PLAN

All current operational outdoor and indoor pools, located in various Neighborhood Resource and Recreation Centers (NRRCs), will be open for the 2024 summer season from Saturday, June 8 through Sunday, August 18.  Each pool has a capacity limit with safety at the forefront of all decisions.  Normal hours of operation are noon – 7:45 p.m., but will close daily from 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. for lifeguard breaks and pool maintenance.  For the safety of both residents and staff, facilities will have armed security from opening to closing each day of operations.

Pools will operate 45-minute sessions to maximize customer usage.  At the conclusion of each session, users must leave the pool and are free to check back in to re-enter the pool. Customers must line up for each session and are admitted on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Depending on staffing levels, all deep ends of pools will likely be closed for customer safety.  Again, schedules are subject to daily changes depending on staffing.

Outdoor pools that are open include:  Duggan Park, Forest Hills Park, Gassaway Pool, Greenwood Park, Halloran Park, Impett Park, James Bell Pool, Kerruish Park, Lincoln Park, Loew Park, Luke Easter Park, Mark Tromba Park, Meyer Pool, Neff Pool, Sunrise Pool / Mercedes Cotner Park, Warsaw Park, and Woodland.

Indoor NRRC pools that are open include:  Collinwood, Cudell, Earle B. Turner, Estabrook, Fairfax, Frederick Douglass, Glenville, Hamilton, Kovacic, Lonnie Burten, Michael Zone, Stella Walsh and Thurgood Marshall.

Pools closed due to renovations include:  Central NRRC, Clark NRRC, Cory NRRC, Gunning NRRC, Glendale Park, Lonnie Burten (outdoor only), Lake Park, Sterling NRRC, and Woodland (indoor only)

WEEKLY SCHEDULE

Mondays & Tuesdays – All indoor pools will be open.  Outdoor pools will remain closed.

Wednesdays through Sundays – All outdoor pools will be open.

These indoor NRRC pools will also be open a third day of the week:

Wednesdays – Collinwood, Lonnie Burten, Stella Walsh, Thurgood Marshall

Thursdays – Cudell, Fairfax, Glenville, Hamilton

Fridays – Earle B. Turner, Estabrook, Frederick Douglass, Kovacic, Michael Zone

Indoor pools will resume normal operations Monday through Friday (11:30a.m. – 8 p.m.) and Saturdays (9:30a.m. – 6 p.m.) beginning August 19 – the first day of school for Cleveland Metropolitan Schools.

Visit the City’s website for a full list and locations of the City’s pools, spray parks, and NRRCs.

Admission to pools are free, as are all of the City’s Summer Programming options.  View the entire slate of summer programs available free to Cleveland residents of all ages, from toddlers to seniors.  Residents can create an account and register through the City’s online catalog.

Expect additional traffic notices as improvements continue

CLEVELAND – Beginning Monday, June 24, 2024, weather permitting, the City of Cleveland will close Carnegie Avenue to eastbound traffic between East 55th Street and East 79th Street for the Carnegie Phase 1 Rehabilitation Project.  Two westbound lanes of traffic will be maintained on the north side of the road while the contractor works on the south side of the road.  Eastbound traffic will be de-toured at East 55th south to Cedar Road, east along Cedar Road to East 79th Street, and north on East 79th Street back to Carnegie Avenue.

Overall Project Description

The project includes resurfacing of 0.95 miles of Carnegie Avenue from East 55th Street to East 79th Street. Work includes milling of existing asphalt and re-placement, pavement base repairs, utility casting adjustments, ADA compliant ramps, replacement of concrete curbs and walks as needed, pavement markings and signage. Pavement will be narrowed under the NS Bridge to provide one lane of traffic in each direction with a two-way left turn lane.  A median will be added between East 65th Street and East 69th Street and another added just west of East 77th Street.  A new water line will be added the entire length of the project. New mast arm traffic signals will be installed at Carnegie Avenue and East 71st Street intersection.  Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, RRFBs will be in-stalled at the median locations to aid pedestrian crossings.
 

Maintenance of Traffic

Phase 1 Construction:
After the water bypass is completed, the contractor will commence closing east-bound traffic on Carnegie between East 55th Street and East 79th Street.  Two westbound lanes of traffic will be maintained on the north side of the road while the contractor works on the south side of the road.  Eastbound traffic will be de-toured at East 55th south to Cedar Road, east along Cedar Road to East 83rd Street, and north on East 83rd Street back to Carnegie Avenue. 

Phase 2 Construction:
Upon completion of Phase 1, the contractor will shift westbound traffic to the south side of Carnegie Avenue.  Two westbound lanes of traffic will be maintained on the south side of the road while the contractor works on the north side of the road. Eastbound traffic will continue to use the detour that was put in place for Phase 1 Construction.

On street parking will not be permitted during construction within the work zones.

Advanced warning signs will be placed outside of the work zone, informing the public of the construction work and any changes in the traffic patterns. Access to residences and businesses will be maintained throughout construction. 

The work on this project will generally take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  The entire project is scheduled for completion by the end of October 2025.

Questions? Contact the City of Cleveland’s Construction Inspector, Janet Hintz at 216-857-1635.

Road construction invariably presents hazards to the public. All travelers are urged to use caution in construction zones. Public safety and the safety of workers is a top priority.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this important public improvement project.

We are very pleased to announce the City of Cleveland has finalized the roll-out of the 2023 Community Choice Electricity Aggregation to our eligible residents and small commercial businesses, starting in August 2023, thanks to City Council’s timely legislative approvals and work by our program partner Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council - SOPEC. Through our group buying power with selected aggregator SOPEC, the city administration was able to secure a very competitive default ‘opt-out’ 1 year fixed rate of 6.302 cents/kWh for the electricity supply, backed by 100% Green-e certified Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).  This price will save the average residential electricity account approximately $200 over the next year, compared to the Illuminating Company’s default electricity supply rates (12.4 cent/kWh). As early as Tuesday, June 20th, eligible Cleveland residents can expect to see letters from SOPEC that outline the community choice aggregation program, including “opt-out” pathways. For questions related to the program, contact SOPEC at 1877-648-1937 If you are a low-income household experiencing high energy burdens, we encourage you to enroll into utility assistance programs. Please contact either CHN Housing Partners or Step Forward for information at 216-350-8008
