This document summarizes the first public meeting for a project to enhance Clifton Boulevard in Cleveland and Lakewood, Ohio. It introduces the project team and consultants, describes the project scope as designing streetscape improvements from sidewalk to sidewalk, and outlines the process and timeline moving forward. Community and technical committees will provide input throughout the conceptual design, preliminary design, and construction document phases. The project aims to explore design alternatives through ongoing public engagement to develop a plan that has broad public approval and will lead to construction.
