Lakewood Resurfacing More Streets This Year

Public Works Director Joe Beno, Engineering Division Manager Bill Corrigan and Mayor FitzGerald look at plans on Bunts Road.

As you drive through Lakewood, you may have noticed that there is a lot of road construction occurring all over the city. In fact, there are more streets being resurfaced this year than there have been in any of the last 20 years. The City will be resurfacing over 7.5 miles of street, which is more than triple the average done in recent years.



Twenty-two streets are scheduled to be resurfaced during the 2009 construction season. The list of streets to be repaved include:

Alameda Avenue (Madison to Franklin)
Brockley Avenue (Clifton to Lake)
Concord Avenue (Marginal to Hilliard)
Cordova Avenue (Madison to Detroit)
Delaware Avenue (Lincoln to Brown)
Detroit Ext. (Detroit to End)
Esther Avenue (Alger to Mars)
Gladys Avenue (Detroit to Clifton)
Glenbury Avenue (Delaware to Hilliard)
Graber Drive (Detroit to Riverside)
Gridley Street (Detroit to End)
Kenilworth Avenue (Detroit to Sloane)
Marlowe Avenue (Franklin to Madison)
Orchard Grove (Madison to Detroit)
Park Place (Orchard Grove to Rosewood)
Phelps Avenue (Detroit to Sloane)
Riverway Avenue (Riverside to McKinley)
Spring Garden (Madison to Detroit)
Summit Avenue (Detroit to Clifton)
Thoreau Avenue (RR Tracks to Clifton)
Webb Road (Detroit to Lake)

In addition to these streets, Bunts Road from Lakewood Heights Boulevard to Clifton Boulevard is undergoing a water main replacement and street resurfacing project.

All of these projects are being done at no charge to property owners. They are being funded through Federal CDBG grant funds and Capital Improvement funds. The Bunts Road project is being funded by Lakewood’s Water and Capital Funds, Federal CDBG funds, the Cuyahoga County Engineer and by an Ohio Public Works Commission grant.

These projects represent the City of Lakewood’s continued commitment to infrastructure improvements. If you have any questions about any of these projects, contact the Division of Engineering at 216-529-6692.
