Curb Bump-Outs on WCR at Traymore and Hillbrook
As part of the 2015 TLCI Plan for Pedestrian Safety Improvements, the City will engineer and construct two new crosswalks at the intersection of Warrensville Center and Traymore roads and at the intersection of Warrensville Center and Hillbrook roads. Curbs will be extended, “bumped-out,” to shorten the crossing distance, improve pedestrian visibility, and add new green space

South Taylor Place
In fall 2022, the City broke ground on its first new housing development since the 1970s in the Cedar Taylor District. Knez Homes will construct 30 luxury townhomes, each with two-car garages, and some with rooftop decks. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2023.
University Square Redevelopment
The City has been diligently moving along with a process for redeveloping University Square since it approved a development agreement with KL Holdings LLC in Summer 2020. The project is expected to include the construction of 180 to 200 market-rate apartments, the reconfiguration of buildings, and the addition of a courtyard. Demolition would not include Macy’s or Target.
Urban Forestry Management Plan
The City works with an arborist to create a comprehensive plan for tree canopy maintenance. The city is divided into four zones, and one zone is targeted each year for proactive maintenance, including pruning, removal and planting. Zone 1 received whole street pruning and removal in 2022; Zone 2 is scheduled for 2023. See a map to find out in which zone your property is located. Learn more about the plan here.
Silsby Road Neighborhood Park
In October 2017 the City was awarded $105,000 from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for the development of pocket park on the green lot at 3578 Silsby Road. Learn more about the plan and see project updates as the park is built on the Silsby Road Neighborhood Park webpage.
Pedestrian Safety Improvements
