Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Shaker Heights public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Transit Center Relocation
Shaker Heights is looking at moving the bus terminal as part of the Lee Road redevelopment. If you take the bus around here, your daily commute could be getting a makeover too.
Pavement Condition Assessment of All City Streets
The Transmap survey of every city street is nearly done; the amended contract funds the overage work and will guide the three-year road resurfacing program and funding decisions.
Lynnfield RTA Station stabilization
Two grant applications totaling $45,000 would begin stabilizing the vacant, deteriorating 1922 station — a local landmark that's been empty for a decade. More money will be needed to finish the job.
Winslow Road Traffic Calming
Two county grants totaling $200,000 — with zero local match — will fund traffic calming on Winslow Road, a historic district where nearly half of westbound drivers speed. Neighbors have complained about cut-through traffic for over 30 years.
Traffic Complaint Protocol
A recent enforcement push caught lots of hazardous driving, especially near schools, but the chief says one officer on the traffic unit isn't enough. A federal 'Safe Streets for All' grant could fund a citywide safety study of problem intersections.
