Good words

Sustainability has moved from the fringes of the business world to the top of the agenda for shareholders, employees, regulators, and customers. Any miscalculation of issues related to sustainability can have serious repercussions on how the world judges a company and values its shares.

Tremont to Whiskey Island via Flats West Bank bike/ped trail

Submitted by Marc Lefkowitz  |  Last edited July 27, 2009 - 1:58pm

The Lake Link Trail and Greenway Project will connect Flats and Tremont residents with Whiskey Island and Lake Erie. Further, this Trail will connect with the future Towpath Trail.
The project includes pedestrian and bicycle improvements to:

  • A former Cleveland & Mahoning Railroad bed that will become a 1.3 mile trail;
  • Rights- of- way in a portion of the Flats;
  • The Willow Street Bridge; and
  • The construction of a pedestrian and bicycle bridge from the base of the Willow Street bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks to Whiskey Island.

A diverse group is working closely together to make this project a reality - partners include
Cuyahoga County, City of Cleveland, Building Cleveland by Design (a joint program of ParkWorks and Cleveland Public Art), Wendy Park Foundation and The KD Group.

This group has raised funds to purchase the 1.3 mile former railroad bed, to design improvements to the Willow Street Bridge and to design and engineer a new bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks.
