Living Lorain Corridor Plan Improvement Plan
LOCATION: Cleveland, OH
Through a comprehensive public and stakeholder involvement process, Behnke lead the planning effort, in collaboration with a transportation engineer, to develop a Complete and Green Street plan. Based on thorough traffic analysis, the plan realistically balances the needs of all corridor user groups, and encourages economic redevelopment on a 2-mile stretch from West 25th to West 85th Streets.
Existing conditions assessment included local history and culture, land use, district definition, corridor function, public transit, architectural style, community character, utilities, furnishings, and public art. Proposed streetscape improvements, including pervious pavement, tree biofiltration, green spaces, enhanced transit waiting environments, site furnishings, intersection and gateway enhancements, and brand identity and wayfinding, will create a dynamic, pedestrian-focused corridor that engages the neighborhood and re-establishes Lorain Avenue as a place and a destination.
