More Shared Spaces for Cleveland Heights
|
|
"Parklets" along Cedar Road, 2021.
|
|
This week, the City of Cleveland Heights rolled out a permanent program allowing the city’s businesses to create temporary “Shared Spaces” for outdoor dining.
Cleveland Heights’ new Shared Spaces program grew out of a 2021 pilot program for approving “parklets” as a tool to help businesses survive the COVID-19 health crisis and give patrons more dining opportunities. “Parklets” are curbside parking spaces or public right-of-way that have been converted into gathering/dining spaces.
“We are still working to recover from the pandemic—economically, socially, and emotionally," Mayor Kahlil Seren said. "The City is dedicated to helping find ways to reconnect as a community and support our small businesses. Our Shared Spaces program is a big step in the right direction.”

|
The Shared Spaces program focuses on creating additional private seating areas managed and maintained by private businesses. The program provides a process for authorizing businesses to install temporary outdoor dining spaces from May through November each year
These spaces are not intended for one-time events, large gatherings, or parties. They are meant, instead, to provide additional flexibility for local businesses to activate the area outside their businesses during the warmer months.
To launch the program, Cleveland Heights added a new Shared Spaces page to its website and published a Shared Spaces Program Application Manual, which leads applicants through the application process for authorization to install a temporary shared space within the public right-of-way or on private property.

Investigator Brian Ondercin Honored for Heroism
At the May 16 Cleveland Heights City Council meeting, Cleveland Heights Police Investigator Brian Ondercin received the city’s Lifesaving Award.
Monday On the evening of April 23, 2022, Cleveland Heights Police Department units were dispatched to Ravine Drive for a 4-month-old child who was in full arrest.
Investigator Brian Ondercin was the first officer to arrive on the scene and, upon realizing the child was choking on something, immediately administered the Heimlich maneuver, clearing her airway. The child was then taken to University Hospital for further treatment.
University Hospital staff told CHPD officers that if Investigator Ondercin had not stepped in, the child may not have survived. While the child had initially gone to the Intensive Care Unit but had been moved to a step-down unit.
Investigator Ondercin's new plaque reads: “Your actions bring great credit upon yourself and this department.”
