“This is a phenomenal opportunity to extend this benefit,” the director of planning said, noting the trail will connect businesses and residences to the Metroparks and the larger Euclid Creek Greenway and that design work and construction documents will be completed this year with construction expected in 2026.

Jillian Moll, who said she lives on Lake Edge Drive, told council she lost a privacy buffer when neighboring apartment owners removed small trees and later removed mature parking‑lot trees. “The city currently has no ordinances prohibiting private property owners from taking down trees on their property,” Moll said, and she recommended the council explore a permitting requirement that could at least notify the city and open discussions about alternatives and replanting.

Council and city staff used the item at the April 21 meeting—during which the council also passed a resolution proclaiming April 25 as Arbor Day—to underline existing tree work. The administration said the city has planted more than 700 trees in recent years, completed a street‑tree inventory of more than 9,000 sites (public street trees only) and recently hired an urban forester, Jody Lathwal, and that a Shade Tree Commission is active.

“[The shade tree commission] is probably the most talented, professionally, has the most professional expertise in trees and urban forestry,” the mayor said, and council members encouraged residents to attend Shade Tree Commission meetings to take part in ordinance discussions.

Council passed the Arbor Day resolution and members said the city will continue exploring tools to protect the canopy while balancing private property rights.

Moll closed by saying she plans to plant a replacement tree in her yard.","A resident asked council to consider permitting or regulation on private tree removal; council and staff highlighted the Shade Tree Commission, recent tree plantings and a city urban forester as the city proclaimed April 25 as Arbor Day.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6259736,"Euclid accepts $243,168 grant to study shoreline erosion; city pledges $49,000 match",71,2177000,2248000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3137526-eb438dcff9af3cec15d10ab8849bb00d&start=2177&end=2248","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3137526-eb438dcff9af3cec15d10ab8849bb00d/thumbnail_2177000.jpg","/articles/6259736/Ohio/Euclid-accepts-243168-grant-to-study-shoreline-erosion-city-pledges-49000-match","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6259736-2e74f374d40dd32ec9e41673c54aaf21/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178935&Signature=JMThgguC-Itfg-LNvA6BE~ES2isg9r9TXQ1pbJWm7urcAsWuPPf1oRcI22YsLm7qwC5RUQ2qd8KLX7ujqMrbLaoc4UfLKOU8-6KdtRvaxkcdGk56Ju9Fw09Y2U6tCNjBlWchfLjE9Rc9e05QtSzXqJSmbFq49h7f50VPu-BW0J9qx3tkwJGcZzAeFSxIyT~O6GXCwWXNkvs18Gk4BAWiAEl4TXUYWUiJaTfx~Sf1zAPGwJ~aghIX-GePNiQT027rhnECieE5EmJ1UmuMGhdTmMxNB1gTOK2FokCHpLPdER6iNv~4jqwm0eUPx4hOuFIm7GnhRuOjgStdcGGprnstCw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Euclid City Council on April 21 voted to accept up to $243,168.19 in funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s National Coastal Resilience Fund to study shoreline erosion control and public engagement along the city’s lakefront.

City staff told council the award follows resident concerns raised last year about shoreline erosion between Euclid Park and Sims Park. The grant will fund a shoreline erosion study and community outreach; the city committed to a match of roughly $49,000 from the Harbour Town TIF fund.

“After receiving some concerns from residents . . . we pursued this grant opportunity,” a city director said, describing the pre‑proposal and full application process and noting the award notification earlier in the year. The director said the city expects to engage a consultant under a future contract and aims for a proposed delivery of summer 2026, though the calendar is tight.

Council members representing beachfront areas welcomed the award. “There’s a definite erosion issue and the beach line has definitely disappeared over the years,” one council member said, describing effects near Noble Beach and saying the study could lead to protective measures.

City staff said the study will look at mitigation options and that any physical shoreline work would likely require additional funding sources, including public‑private partnerships or state and federal grants.

Council approved the resolution by roll call.","Council authorized acceptance of a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant to study shoreline erosion and public engagement along the lakefront; staff said the city will match roughly $49,000 from the Harbour Town TIF fund and aims to deliver results by summer 2026.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6259740,"Euclid moves forward with underground micro‑tunnel plan for combined‑sewer overflow; design contract approved",445,3118000,3563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3137526-eb438dcff9af3cec15d10ab8849bb00d&start=3118&end=3563","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3137526-eb438dcff9af3cec15d10ab8849bb00d/thumbnail_3118000.jpg","/articles/6259740/Ohio/Euclid-moves-forward-with-underground-microtunnel-plan-for-combinedsewer-overflow-design-contract-approved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6259740-b1c6939d9b092cf637e277106330a810/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178935&Signature=OLFK-SB~lkKV79G2MI~N2-28y3RXk3m-E~KYpsjz7etbwZCBE~TuKC2YqQkqFxZWhth~ZJ6pQZLdUobeCI~0U7CBq9OQGwtjHPeJTxNd736viqIkW2BeRyN6CEVnc7ZFdphHhvpETq1NGOQSWLtXE8OtOij2K8FykvD1sXK8fOfyp2lBN3oQoiKGlf~Iidm6LCssnyT7zxExRMXVwlt1vOTo4bkZsOYl8zKMvkg5QgXCjOLzJISIXOGUvibANm~D1Umlo256O4Zxwq6BbZJxnrhVucIgRJG353PSQplHlO2fsgAOejiai4nSScXn-iJNjQMcKMkH~52fHfFVetvkcA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Euclid City Council on April 21 approved a professional services agreement for engineering work on a combined‑sewer overflow control measure near East 260th Street and Farrington Avenue and authorized a design loan to begin work.

City officials said the project will use micro‑tunneling under East 260th Street rather than the above‑ground reservoir originally contemplated in the consent decree. The council voted to authorize a contract with GPD Group not to exceed $1,197,400 for engineering, contract drawings and bid preparation and separately passed an ordinance to apply for a design loan through Ohio environmental financing programs to pay for that work.

Council and staff said this is the first of the CSO projects to receive approval in negotiations with federal regulators. “This is the first project that has received approval,” the director of public service said, describing the project as a micro tunnel that would run underneath East 260th from Farrington toward Ziemann and take the overflow to meet the negotiated limit of four or fewer overflows in a season.

City staff told council the work will begin with design, which is expected to take about 18 months; construction would follow and is estimated at another roughly 18 months. Officials said the design loan can later be rolled into construction financing, and that the loan repayment was already anticipated in water/sewer rates adopted earlier by council.

Several council members pressed for clarity about the consent‑decree negotiations and whether other planned projects have approval; the director said the city remains in negotiation on the remaining CSO projects and that this item was advanced to allow the city to begin designing the first approved measure.

A resident speaker who identified himself as associated with the Kasima Motel clarified a technical distinction in the public discussion, telling council that what had been described previously in other meetings was a reservoir rather than a tank.

The council passed both ordinances on roll calls during the meeting.

The city plans to bring contracts for detailed consultant services and later construction documents back to council for approval as design work advances.","Council approved a professional services agreement for design of a micro‑tunnel to control Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) No. 6 and authorized a design loan; city officials said the project is the first of the consent‑decree modifications to receive approval and estimated roughly 18 months for design and another 18 months for construction.","actionData","errors"]
