With $24 million grant from Mandel Foundation, string of major eastside park projects move forward. Some of the money will also go toward relocation of Euclid Beach mobile home residents
Some of Cleveland's most anticipated eastside parks projects got a major funding boost yesterday as the Mandel Foundation announced it was granting $24 million toward the assorted efforts.
In interviews Wednesday, grantees affirmed that Clevelanders need to see the forest for the trees: The rehab en masse of dozens of acres of future park space is a wildly important project, they say, for keeping residents living in the city and for connecting eastsiders to the water. One of the major expenditures of the Metroparks grant—$5 million of it—is to be used to construct a Downtown Connector Trail, meant to fill in the bike lane gap between the Rock Hall and the East 55th Marina.
"That was the whole part in thinking behind this," Svala said."Bringing the lake back to the people in the neighborhoods that we, for whatever reason, have cut them off from it over many years of decision making."The land, which the Conservancy purchased for $5.8 million in December of 2021, wasn't bought without pushback. In February, it was announced that all residents would have 18 months to vacate.
Zone, who speaks passionately about expanding the meager 10 percent of Lake Erie that Clevelanders can access, maintained the stance that Euclid Beach residents' compensation, and the well-in-advance notification, are beneficial outcomes, given the situation."We gave an 18-month notice," Zone said.
