The Cuyahoga Greenways Plan Update is now underway!
County Planning, in collaboration with the Cuyahoga Greenways Partners, is leading the effort to systematically update the 2019 Cuyahoga Greenways Plan. This update will include the many projects completed over the last five years and will reflect our collaboration on plan development with partners responsible for the Cleveland Citywide Mobility Plan and the NOACA Regional Metroparks Trails Connectivity Study.
