Cuyahoga Greenways is a blueprint for linking neighborhoods, parks, Lake Erie, the Cuyahoga River, and public transit through a comprehensive countywide network of trails that are safe and welcoming for people of all ages and abilities. Cuyahoga Greenways expands the mobility options available to residents and visitors throughout Cuyahoga County.
Bike-with-a-Mayor
In 2023, the Cuyahoga Greenway Partners kicked off the County's new Bike-with-a-Mayor initiative, consisting of bike rides (or hikes, scooter rides, etc.) for residents and local businesses led by local mayors, city council members, and other public officials to highlight the County's Cuyahoga Greenways network.
The Bike-with-a-Mayor events are great ways for residents to learn about this county-wide network, planned trail and bikeway projects in their community, and provides an opportunity for civic leadership to showcase other projects and initiatives. It's also a great opportunity for residents to share thoughts and ideas about trail and transportation needs with their mayor and city staff.
