Help Decide The Future Of The Mayfield Road Corridor

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — The Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA), and several east side suburbs, are studying Mayfield Road and what its future may look like. The agency recently got a grant to expand its study and include Cleveland Heights' input.

"The overall goal for the study is to establish a unified vision to serve as a framework for any future roadway improvements, as well as potential redevelopment along the corridor," NOACA said on its website.

Residents are invited to provide their thoughts and learn about the multimodal plan for the street at a June 6 meeting at the Cleveland Heights Community Center. Doors will open at 5 p.m., with a presentation on the project starting at 5:30 p.m. Activity stations will open at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

To this point, the study has found some challenges with Mayfield Road, including dangerous conditions for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and bus riders. The preliminary studies done by the agency and its partners indicate that there may be opportunities for reworking Mayfield Road to better allocate space for buses, bicyclists and pedestrians, while keeping drivers moving without major delays.

A presentation from the agency's late February meeting on the project can be found by clicking here.

Prior to Cleveland Heights joining the project, there were three cities involved in NOACA's study: South Euclid, Lyndhurst, and Mayfield Heights.
