pocket park at the north end on 49th and Broadway, b) an improved
transit waiting environment at East 55th Street as well as at Baxter, and
c) improved transit waiting environment and green space at the inter-
section with Morgana Run Trail near Union and Aetna. The first phase
of these streetscape improvements will begin in spring 2010.

3) East 55th Street Rapid Station

Description: The new East 55th Street Rapid Transit station has received
federal stimulus funding and construction will begin in 2010. The TLCI
plan recommended improved bike/pedestrian crossing facilities at East
55th Street to connect to the new station. An on-street, signed bike
route was also recommended through the neighborhood to connect to
the Morgana Run Trail at Union Avenue.

IV. Cuyahoga County Greenspace Plan

Lead Organization: Cuyahoga County Planning
Commission
Completion Date: 2002
Description: Cuyahoga County is soon to become the first county in
the state of Ohio to be completely “built-out.” In 1948, 26 percent
of the county’s land was developed; by 2002, 90 percent had been
developed. The planning commission recognized the historical sig-
nificance of this development and initiated this Greenspace Plan. The
basic elements of the plan were to create a system of natural corridors,
a countywide trail system, the preservation of scenic views and the
protection and restoration of critical natural areas. Specific recommen-
dations for trail connections and open space protection were included
in the “Greenprint,” intended to be a document used for creating a
framework for planners and developers. More general countywide
“goals” were enumerated through the Greenspace Initiative.

Relationship to Trail/Study Area: The Greenspace plan discusses many
of the same elements included in the previous plans this study reviews.
The development of the City Loop Trail, again directly connected to
Morgana Run on both sides of the existing trail, is a major component.
The extension of the Towpath Trail into downtown is also documented
in the plan, and the many benefits that connection will bring to Slavic
Village have been discussed earlier. One important difference between
this plan and the other plans reviewed here is that the Greenspace plan
only deals with off-road trails, and not any on-road bike lanes or sharrows.

Appendix D: Morgana Run Trail User Counts 2009–2010

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC), with support Counter locations along Morgana Run
from the Kresge Foundation through the
Urban Pathways Initiative, and in partnership
with Slavic Village Development Corporation,
has conducted trail user counts along the
Morgana Run Trail in both 2009 and 2010.
Morgana Run had three counter locations
along the trail. The count was performed by
the latest generation of Trafx brand infrared
trail counters, deployed and maintained by
RTC staff. Data was collected from August 31
until November 1, 2009, and repeated in the
same locations from August 21 to October
24 giving 120 days of count data. The results
of these counts are depicted in the follow-
ing report. For management purposes these
counters were referred to as “Jones Rd.”,
“Aldi”, and “Blanche Spur”. Using these
numbers, RTC staff also ran the information
through a matrix developed in house. This
matrix incorporates trail counts from around
the country into the equation. Through this
process the estimated overall annual use on
The Morgana Run Trail is 24,000.
