CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio -- City Council has authorized a $500,000 joint grant application with Shaker Heights to help fund a trail project at the Doan Brook Restoration near Horseshoe Lake Park.

The reimbursable grant would come through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Land and Water Conservation Fund for the Attleboro-Shelburne Trail.

That 10-foot-wide trail would run north-south, connecting the two leasing cities over the lakebed that has been drained on ODNR orders since the spring of 2019 .

If awarded, the grant would require a 50 percent match from the two cities leasing the parkland from the City of Cleveland -- which may also sign onto the application.

The grant application is due to ODNR by Nov. 14, a memo to Cleveland Heights City Council noted.
