Complete Streets

In May, 2018, Cleveland Heights City Council approved a Complete and Green Streets Policy. The policy describes the City’s commitment to the comfort and safety of all users of our streets with special attention to the least mobile and most vulnerable. Smart Growth America’s National Complete Streets Coalition staff and the City’s Transportation Advisory Committee were helpful in offering advice on drafting an effective policy. Of 66 Complete Streets policies submitted in 2018, the National Complete Streets Coalition chose Cleveland Heights’ policy as #1. Read their Best Complete Streets Policies of 2018.

City Complete and Green Streets initiatives include bike parking racks, bike repair stations, curb ramp installations, and pedestrian and bicyclist amenities at Cedar Lee, Cedar Fairmount, Coventry, Cedar Taylor, North Park, Edgehill at Overlook, and Noble. Current transportation planning focused on Complete Streets is occurring presently on Taylor Road (https://www.noaca.org/community-assistance-center/funding-programs/tlci-planning-assistance/taylor-road-corridor-study) and Compton Road (https://www.clevelandheights.com/1171/Compton-Road-Greenway-Study).
