The Garfield Boulevard Green Infrastructure project in Garfield Heights has been recognized as the winner of Cleveland 2030’s Green Building Challenge in the Water Conservation/Management category.

Led through a partnership between, The City of Garfield Heights, Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works, Cuyahoga County Planning Commission and Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, the project transformed a former streetcar corridor through a road diet that added a shared-use path and green infrastructure designed to slow and manage stormwater along nearly one mile of Garfield Boulevard.

This award highlights the power of regional collaboration to create safer, more sustainable and more connected communities across Cuyahoga County. https://cuyahogacounty.gov/executive/news/press-releases-archive/2025-press-releases/2025/10/30/celebrating-the-revitalization-of-garfield-boulevard

A Crain's Cleveland Business report on the 2026 edition of the Development Trends on TOD Corridors report says that "Transit Oriented Developments brought in a record $324 million in investment to Cuyahoga County in 2025 — the highest figure in seven years — as housing projects dominate development near rail and bus lines and reshape the region’s residential landscape."

Housing dominated transit oriented development in 2025.
