The project includes resurfacing, full-depth concrete and curb repairs, high-visibility ladder-style crosswalks, new curb ramps, and updated pavement markings along Center Ridge Road (U.S. Route 20) from Spencer Road to Wooster Road — approximately 1.5 miles through the cities of Rocky River and Fairview Park.
Additional improvements include upgraded traffic and pedestrian signals, new controllers, improved signal synchronization between Spencer Road and Pease Drive, and new signal masts and mast arms where needed to enhance safety and traffic flow. The project will also feature aesthetic and green space enhancements between Spencer Road and Goldwood Primary School, including boulevard treatments and gateway signage.
Separately, City Council has awarded the Goldwood School traffic signal project to Perram Electric, Inc. Construction of the new signal at the Goldwood School egress is also expected to begin in spring 2026 and will improve safety for pedestrians and motorists.
Bradstreet’s Landing
Spencer Creek is scheduled for a major restoration beginning in early 2026. The project will improve stormwater management, reestablish the floodplain, and construct upland path improvements through the existing greenspace, including additional seating and interpretive features.
The stream and floodplain restoration portion of the project is expected to be bid in March 2026, with completion anticipated by the end of the year.
The auxiliary parking lot, to be constructed on the south side of Lake Road across from the park, remains in the final stages of design and will be coordinated with the upcoming water main, sewer, and pavement resurfacing project.

The project also includes a road diet that will reduce the north side of the roadway by approximately five feet to the center line, allowing for installation of an off-street concrete multiuse trail from the Bay Village line to Avalon Drive.
Construction of an auxiliary parking lot across from Bradstreet’s Landing, south of Lake Road, will occur concurrently with this project. The lot will include 21 parking spaces, one parking space with room for a trailer, and two signalized pedestrian crossings at either end of the lot.
Construction is expected to begin in late 2026.

The City of Rocky River has received funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) for sewer and water line replacement on Cornwall and Beachcliff (from Cornwall to Avalon).
In addition to utility replacement, the work includes roadway resurfacing, traffic calming measures, and pedestrian crossing improvements. The sidewalk on the north side of Avalon (west of Beachcliff) will also be connected to the sidewalk on the north side of Beachcliff.
The project is currently in design. Affected residents will be invited to a public meeting scheduled for April 28 at 6:30 PM at Memorial Hall.
