With assistance from URS Corporation, the Euclid Beach Fishing Pier Feasibility Study was completed in October, 2008. When completed, the pier will be a major improvement to the Euclid Beach State Park and a wonderful neighborhood amenity.

In 2004, the City of Cleveland underwent an extensive study of the current and potential use of our land along Lake Erie. As part of that process, Northeast Shores engaged the Kent State Urban Design Center to develop a landuse plan that improves amenities at Euclid Beach State Park and improves the aesthetics in the immediately adjacent retail business district. The Cleveland Planning Commission adopted the plan and Northeast Shores is in the process of implementing these important improvements.

The Lower Euclid Creek Plan looks at opportunities to enhance Euclid Creek in Cleveland and Euclid, the most densely populated cities of the watershed.  Restoration of coastal wetlands, fish passage, land conservation, storm water management, and potential greenspace linkages from the Metroparks Euclid Creek Reservation to Lake Erie are some of the recommendations of the Lower Euclid Creek Greenway Plan. The Plan identifies specific projects that will enhance Euclid Creek and bring the Creek back into the community as an amenity.  The project was funded in part by ODNR’s Coastal Management Grant Program.

Each five years, Northeast Shores undergoes and internal and community evaluation of our activities and plans. This process allows us to reflect whether the organization is meeting its mission and serving the community to the best of its abilities. Please find the current strategic plan and community evaluation attached.

In 2007, Northeast Shores embarked on a full examination of how Waterloo and East 156th Street can be improved to assist in the further development of the Waterloo Arts and Entertainment District. We engaged URS Consultants to conduct the study, which includes significant public art, parking plans, and improvements that make the district more walkable. Northeast Shores is in the process of raising the necessary funds to implement this plan.
