Construction Slated For Shaker Heights Schools

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — Several construction projects will begin at the Shaker Heights Schools on June 7, the district announced. Work will be happening at the high school, Boulevard Elementary, Fernway, Mercer, Woodbury, the Middle School and at Onaway Elementary.

"For safety reasons, there will be no access to the playground at Onaway during the replacement of the asphalt play area and a retaining wall. As an alternative, we suggest families use the play areas at Boulevard or Woodbury," the district said in a post on its website.

Construction is currently slated to last from June 7 to August 13, but everything will be weather dependent. Work with heavy equipment could last from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but asphalt replacement could extend the work day to 6 p.m. or 7 p.m.

The district said congestion is expected around the Shaker Heights High School oval during the construction period. The following parking lots will be closed during the summer construction period:

• High School south parking lot
• High School north parking lot
• Onaway Elementary School parking lot

"During the construction period, the SELF and Shaker Heights City Summer Recreation Programs will run according to schedule in the respective buildings. Walk-in routes to the buildings will be identified. Participants and employees should plan accordingly to gain access to the buildings," the district said.
