THOUGHTS? Over 90% of the Lake Erie shoreline within Cuyahoga County is not publicly accessible.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Lake Erie is one of the greatest natural resources in the world, but unlocking the lake’s potential, as well as making the shoreline accessible to everyone, has proven to be a significant problem in Northeast Ohio.
Could the public-private deal that turned a crumbling section of the city’s shoreline into a beautiful lakefront trail, while at the same time stopping significant erosion in its tracks, be worked out in other shoreline communities?“It’s so exciting and it’s a true sense of pride for the community and it took us a lot to get here,” said Euclid Mayor Kirsten Holzheimer-Gail. “I think there’s a lot of people that thought we couldn’t do it and every time I come down here it’s just phenomenal.
While the deal was complicated, in many respects it came down to a simple solution; the city would pay for erosion control, saving the crumbling cliffs, while lakefront land owners would give access to build the trail. Concern for privacy was the number one issue for the majority of stakeholders, and that privacy remains intact as public access to the trail is, for now, limited to Sims Park.
Christine McIntosh, Euclid’s Planning and Development Coordinator, said the erosion control measures have worked beyond expectations.
