Thanks to Mayor Frank G. Jackson’s enhanced budget, made possible by Issue 32, the City of Cleveland is embarking on more street improvement projects in 2017 than years past. Projects span all neighborhoods and wards throughout the city.
Here are some highlights about this year’s road work:
- Potholes are serviced year round, weather permitting. The Department of Public Works has increased its pothole crews from three to 10 as a result of the passage of Issue 32.
- Thanks to Issue 32 funds, the City of Cleveland has reinstated street sweeping services.
- Leaf pick-up service has also been reactivated in designated high leaf generation areas. View maps and a list of locations here.
- To submit a claim to the City of Cleveland which involves vehicles, including damage caused by potholes, please click here.

Updates will be posted Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Straight from City Hall 
Sent this e-mail to the City of Cleveland, Dept. of Public Safety about 10 days ago, thought I would post it here as well.
here has been a very dangerous situation in the Little Italy area of Cleveland. The traffic safety, both vehicle and pedestrian, is awful. I always said it is an accident waiting to happen, and it has, more than once. On Sat., 3/17/18, at around 7-7:30PM, a man in a crosswalk at Mayfield-Murray Hill Rd. was struck by a vehicle and knocked about 10 feet, landing on his head. He is still in critical condition at University Hospitals. I don’t know the details of the accident yet, but I do know this area was primed for it. There is video of the accident from one of the retaurants there.
A few years ago they removed the traffic light at that intersection and put one on each end of Mayfield Rd. on each end of the “strip,” I guess thinking that would suffice. I don’t think it was thought out a lot before proceeding.This arrangement has created all kinds of traffic and pedestrian problems. Vehicles trying to make turns out of the side streets, Mayfield Rd. traffic not being able to see pedestrians in crosswalks, (or not), due to the tight parking there, and traffic just going too fast or not paying attention driving through.
We thought that reinstalling the traffic light at the corner of Mayfield-Murrat Hill would probably do it. In lieu of that, a traffic policeman at that intersection during peak hours, or stop signs there in both directions. Don’t know what the city can do, but I know SOMETHING needs to be done. The summer is coming bringing more people to the area!
