Talks start for Cleveland’s own High Line-type park

Ken Prendergast / June 16, 2020

Above the Flats’ West Bank, Cleveland could have its own scaled-down version of New York City’s High Line park if early talks bear fruit.

The site is the Superior Viaduct that was completed in 1878 but closed to traffic in 1920. It’s primary use over the past 20 years is as a parking lot for K&D Group’s Stonebridge development that includes apartments, condominiums, restaurants, galleries and offices. The viaduct’s former roadway deck, still hosting streetcar tracks from long ago, is largely barren.
