Topics getting the most attention in Shaker Heights public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
2027 Housing Needs Analysis and Action Plan
The city is updating its housing plan for the first time since 2015, partly to respond to investment firms buying apartment buildings and letting conditions slide. Council Member Nancy Moore pushed to make sure renters with mold, leaks, and no heat get heard in the community engagement.
School bus depot relocation to Shaker Boulevard and Green Road
The city proposes building a new school bus depot (40 buses, ~10,000 sq ft building) at the Green Road Transit Station so the Lee Road bus facility can be redeveloped. Residents near Green Road worry about traffic, noise, diesel exhaust, and home values; supporters say it's the fairest way to finally reinvest in Moreland and Lomond.
