Cleveland is taking steps to finally transform up to 50 acres along Lake Erie. This summer, the not-for-profit set up by the city will call for developers’ visions for a combination of retail, housing, recreation and public space.
“This project is about reimagining what’s possible for our city,” Mayor Justin Bibb. “It’s about reconnecting Clevelanders to the water, creating an inclusive, vibrant destination that reflects who we are and where we’re going.”
Work is set to begin in 2027 on a $284 million project to remake the Shoreway as a boulevard and create a land bridge over it. The Rock Hall is expanding along its section of North Coast Harbor.
And to tide us over, Cleveland this summer is building a pop-up park on a parking lot north of the Browns stadium, with a temporary basketball court, two pickleball courts, a roller rink, shade coverings and plenty of programming.
