On May 21st, the Old Brooklyn CDC and its partners will create a model complete street along Pearl Road between Wildlife Way & State Road. Based on the Better Block model first utilized in Dallas, TX in 2010, Pop UP Pearl will create, for a day, a complete street with bike lanes, traffic calming, street activity, pop up shops, and art installations. Pop UP Pearl comes in advance of an upcoming redesign of this same stretch of Pearl Rd which will include complete streets elements. It also comes at a time when the City of Cleveland is reviewing whether to implement complete streets as a City policy. This event creates the opportunity for the City to embrace an idea already supported by NOACA and implemented in the Cities of Columbus and Dayton.
