Visão geral

Project team

Head: Mt. Pleasant NOW Development Corp.

Partners: The Street Club on E. 139th St.

Project description and goals

The project intends to develop ecologically friendly parking for those residents with little off-street parking. By leveraging local amenities in an area with potential for development, the project’s goal is to turn the eyesore that the vacant lot is currently into an asset as an attempt to further better the Model Block. The project ties in with a complimentary greenspace and public art project planned for an adjacent lot.

About ReImagining a More Sustainable Cleveland:
Re-Imagining Greater Cleveland is a pragmatic, data driven strategy for the management and reuse of vacant properties in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The initiative builds on the work began in the 2007 Re-Imagining a More Sustainable Cleveland study, which was led by nonprofit community development organization Neighborhood Progress, Inc. (NPI) and Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative.
