This Action Plan is intended to implement recommendations from the 2015 Development Framework and Target Area Plan and the 2020 City of East Cleveland Vision Project. Specifically, it addresses two broad redevelopment goals for the Target Area: 

  1. Local and regional connectivity. The Target Area is situated within the Cleveland region such that demand for new housing should be high. However, the Target Area is disconnected from nearby facilities and amenities despite having quality transit available, making connectivity critically important. 

  2. Gateway neighborhood. At the edge of University Circle and the border of the City of East Cleveland, the Target Area can and should function as a gateway for anyone moving through this area of the community. This means Euclid Avenue and infill housing are twin placemaking priorities.
