Traffic Advisory: Ward 8 Pipeline Infrastructure Project

The Office of the Mayor and the Department of Public Service wish to remind residents of ongoing traffic restrictions in Ward 8 due to the Enbridge Gas Ohio pipeline infrastructure replacement project. Active work zones are established on East 91st Street (from St. Clair Avenue to 763 East 91st Street) and East 92nd Street (from St. Clair Avenue to Hillcock Avenue). Construction crews are currently replacing aging steel mainlines with modern plastic infrastructure to enhance service reliability. Traffic control personnel are on-site to facilitate two-way travel daily between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Pedestrians should note that temporary concrete sidewalks and road caps have been installed to ensure safe passage through construction areas. The project is currently on schedule for full completion by April 2026.

Public Service Announcement: Lead Safe Property Compliance

As part of the city’s ongoing commitment to public health, the Cleveland Department of Public Health is urging rental property owners to ensure full compliance with lead safe certification requirements. Under local ordinance, property owners must obtain lead safe certificates to verify that their units are free from hazardous lead paint conditions. Recent reporting emphasizes the importance of childhood testing to prevent lead poisoning across the city. Residents and landlords seeking assistance with the certification process or access to mitigation resources can contact the Lead Safe Resource Center. The city continues to prioritize the protection of vulnerable populations from environmental hazards through proactive enforcement and community education efforts.
