the project
The underpass of the Lake Road Railroad Bridge off of Clifton Boulevard is a major link to Edgewater Park. Unfortunately, the bridge and its underpass are in disrepair. Through an underpass and hillside beautification project, we wish to help create a more inviting link from the West 80's to Edgewater Park. Doing so will promote and encourage active lifestyles and reduce the dependence on driving.The project also aims to foster community, be a source of pride for neighbors, and create a cheerful, positive space that will contribute to mental well-being for all who pass by. In addition to cleaning up trash and debris, an installation of artwork created by neighbors and professional artists will convey themes surrounding sustainability, Edgewater Park, Lake Erie, native plants, and community. Residents and artists of all ages are encouraged to submit photos and other forms of art that convey the mural theme. Poems are welcome too.

why we're doing it
The poorly maintained railroad bridge on Lake Avenue is an eyesore of the Cudell neighborhood. More significantly though, its dreary underpass discourages walking and biking through to Edgewater Park and the surrounding community. Cleaning up the underpass and installing community created artwork will promote neighbors walking and biking around the neighborhood. An improved underpass and project events will foster community and better connect residents on both sides of the railroad tracks. Children heading to and from school, as well bikers and other pedestrians, will be uplifted and inspired by the colorful, cheerful artwork depicting the joys and importance of being active outdoors and living sustainably. Please help be an agent of change by supporting this project!
