April 28, 2023 — Cleveland — Last fall, the City of Cleveland asked residents to consider concepts for the North Coast Connector, a proposed land bridge that would cross the railroad tracks and the Shoreway to reconnect the community to the lakefront.
This spring, residents are asked to weigh in on how to make the North Coast Lakefront and surrounding areas a welcoming place for all through a master planning process. The community will be asked about what will create a sense of belonging and what they want to experience along the shores of Lake Erie.
"The North Coast Connector and Master Plan signal our commitment to a city that is welcoming, accessible and thriving for all residents,” said Mayor Justin M. Bibb. “By uniting the community's diverse voices in shaping the waterfront's future, we will not only enhance the downtown lakefront area but will also create shared assets that meet the needs of Clevelanders for generations to come.”
The City of Cleveland will host three community visioning workshops open to the public:
- May 6th, 2023, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., Pivot Center - Inlet Dance Theatre
- May 9th, 2023, 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., EJ Kovacic Recreation Center
- May 11th, 2023, 12 p.m. – 1:30 p.m., via Zoom
The city will provide childcare, children’s activities and refreshments at the in-person workshops.
While not required, pre-registration is requested for planning purposes. Participants are encouraged to register at clevelandnorthcoast.com/get-involved or by calling 216-664-2210.
