Mobility Tour Survey

Safe Streets 4 Cleveland Heights

The Mobility Tour invited participants to walk, roll in wheelchairs, or ride bikes as we explored our neighborhood streets together. The public event was part of the Safe Streets 4 Cleveland Heights planning process, led by The City of Cleveland Heights, aimed at identifying current safety challenges and effective actions to enhance the safety of all forms of mobility across the entire city. Insights gathered from the event will inform recommendations to make Cleveland Heights’ streets safer for everyone.
