Monday, July 29, 2024 — Cleveland —Mayor
Justin M. Bibb and his team are pleased to invite the community to
the Lakefront Future Forum on Monday, August 5, 2024, from 4 to 7
p.m. on Mall C, located next to City Hall on Lakeside Avenue in
Downtown Cleveland.
This free and family-friendly gathering will feature interactive
stations where attendees can provide input on the North Coast
Connector and North Coast Master Plan, a live band, food truck
offerings and free ice cream.
“Community engagement is the driving force of this project, and we
look forward to continuing the conversation with residents and
stakeholders,” said Mayor Bibb. “This event is about coming
together, celebrating our progress and further refining our
collective vision for a more accessible, vibrant and sustainable
lakefront.”
Starting at 4:30 p.m. Mayor Bibb will convene a panel to present
updates, including the city’s recommendation for the North Coast
Connector — an iconic pedestrian land bridge that will connect Mall
C to the lakefront.
Debbie Berry, Deputy Chief of Integrated Development, Cuyahoga
County, will give introductory remarks.
Panelists include: Joyce Pan Huang, Director of City Planning, City
of Cleveland Keshia Johnson Chambers, Assistant Director, Mayor’s
Office of Capital Projects, City of Cleveland Scott Skinner,
Executive Director, North Coast Waterfront Development Authority
Mordecai Cargill, Co-Founder and Creative Director, ThirdSpace
Action Lab “Cleveland's lakefront has been inaccessible to
Clevelanders for decades,” Chambers noted. “The North Coast
Connector – a reimagining of OH-2, a pedestrian bridge, and a new
transit station – is a critical piece of enabling infrastructure
that will unlock Cleveland's lakefront for both public access and
economic development opportunities.”
As a City and as a region, the lakefront has been underutilized and
inaccessible for years. The North Coast Connector and the North
Coast Master Plan represent a comprehensive and actionable strategy
to fundamentally change how Cleveland interacts with our great lake.
The planning process for these projects has been, and will continue
to be, developed through community input from every neighborhood in
the city.

We encourage residents to carpool, bike, walk or take GCRTA to the
event.
