Chardon-Richmond Road Streetscape and Business Revitalization Plan Survey
Please take a moment to complete a survey regarding major intersections in Richmond Heights. The survey will inform this plan, and your input will help produce recommendations to create economically resilient, vibrant, safe, and accessible areas within the City's major corridors.
The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete and has been extended through February 15, 2025.
The Richmond-Chardon Roads Streetscape & Business Revitalization Plan will include land use and economic analysis, streetscape improvement options, connectivity and complete streets components, and zoning code and design standards recommendations. City staff and officials, community stakeholders, and the public will be engaged throughout this planning process to ensure the plan is practicable and reflective of the community’s vision for the study area.
The Richmond-Chardon Roads Streetscape & Business Revitalization Plan started in May 2024 when the city of Richmond Heights was awarded professional planning services through the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission’s Community Planning Grant program. Five phases comprise this plan: Current Conditions, Vision, Recommendations & Development Scenarios, Implementation Plan, and the Final Document.
