The City has been very proactive in developing non-motorized travel within Shaker.

We have been working with Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) to develop a citywide Bike Route Plan. This plan, which should be complete by end of summer 2008, will identify a network of on-road bike routes that connect major points of interest in the City, such as parks, schools, and shopping areas. Once the plan is finalized, we will work to install bike route and share-the-road signs.

We are also working with the City of Cleveland, University Circle, the City of Cleveland Heights and others to develop a Lake-to-Lakes Trail Plan for a multi-purpose trail that connects the Shaker Lakes and Lake Erie (and ultimately, the Towpath Trail along the Ohio and Erie Canal.).

The Warrensville/Van Aken Transit-Oriented Development Plan calls for improving that intersection to make it navigable by pedestrians and bicyclists in a safe and attractive manner.

There are bicycle racks at convenient locations throughout Shaker including at City Hall, the Police Station, Thornton Park, Heinen's, most RTA stations and Horseshoe Lake Park. And while it's not a non-motorized means of travel, the RTA is a great alternative to driving an individual vehicle, and is one of the unique benefits of living in Shaker!
