An architectural firm based in Cleveland will start work on a traffic study of Center Ridge Road, which runs through Rocky River and on into Fairview Park.
The study is slated to start in January and will cost $80,000. Ohio provided $64,000 in the form of a grant, while Rocky River will pay matching funds in the amount of $13,100, and Fairview Park will provide the final $2,900.
The company, City Architecture, will study traffic flow, cycling and pedestrian safety, entrances and exits, and mass transportation on the thoroughfare. According to Pamela Bobst, mayor of Rocky River, the study is necessary to determine where to upgrade traffic signals in order to keep pace with new development along the busy street. Center Ridge Road connects school, commercial, and residential areas. Among the important developments in the area are Brighton Chase, which is a 264-unit $30m apartment building on Wooster Road, and Westgate Town Center and Goldwood Primary School, both of which are on Center Ridge.
The Cuyahoga County Land Bank awarded Rocky River a grant in the amount of $304,000, which it will use to raze the old Executive Club on Center Ridge Road. Removing the club will free almost two acres of choice real estate for development.
City officials might consider working with a brochure printing company to create a booklet highlighting the advantages to companies that might like to consider developing a project at the site.
