Some long-awaited renderings of Cleveland's North Coast Master Plan and the North Coast Connector were unveiled Monday as part of the "Lakefront Future Forum" outside of City Hall.
And while questions remain about how the lakefront might look if the Cleveland Browns move from downtown to Brook Park, planners are envisioning an area with a completely different version of the Shoreway.
Specifically, the renderings show the lakefront area with the Shoreway reduced from an 50 mph highway to a 35 mph boulevard.
"We looked at the Shoreway and we looked at access to the lakefront. If you are standing here (Mall C) and want to walk to the lake, it's 20 minutes. That's pretty far," said Keshia Johnson Chambers, assistant director of the mayor’s office of capital projects for the city of Cleveland.
The solution, Chambers explained, is to "reassign the Shoreway" into a boulevard with two lanes in each direction and a median. "It gives us an opportunity to slow traffic down," she explained, noting that the area will feature pedestrian walkways and multi-purpose lanes. "You won't feel threatened by vehicles."
