Improving the Cuyahoga River Infrastructure: Bulkhead Management Practices

Report Summary: The Urban Land Institute Cleveland hosted a technical assistance panel on November 3-4 2021, which focused on bulkhead management practices. The panel worked to understand what bulkhead management practices can be adopted to remove barriers to private development, encourage beneficial enhancements to privately-owned riverfront properties, and enhance public access and utilization of the riverfront, while continuing to effectively service the industry in the valley. This panel was held in partnership with the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Metroparks, Port of Cleveland, and Flats Forward, a non-profit organization serving portions of the study area.
