Description

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — The Horseshoe Lake walkway will be closed until further notice, the city of Shaker Heights announced. The bridge is closed because it is currently a hazard to pedestrians and others, the city said in an email to residents. Enhanced barricades will soon be installed around the bridge to protect the public. The Northeast Ohio Sewer District has recommended removing Horseshoe Lake dam and restoring the north and middle branches of Doan Brook. Before action is taken, public input on that recommendation is needed. The cities of Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights are hosting a joint in-person council meeting to answer any remaining questions about the sewer district's recommendations. Representatives from both cities and the sewer district will be on-hand, and questions can be submitted prior to the meeting or written and submitted during the session. The meeting will be held Aug. 9 at 6:30 p.m. in the Cleveland Heights Community Center, 1 Monticello Bouelvard. Shaker Heights has shared answers to many of the most-asked questions about the project on the city website.
