ShareSHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — The city’s proposed 2026 capital budget features roughly $6 million targeted for “transformational projects,” focusing on Horseshoe Park and the Lee Road corridor.
Topping the list is Shaker’s $4.7 million share of the locally funded amenities for the “Doan Brook Restoration Near Horseshoe Lake Park,” which City Finance Director John Potts said has already been “earmarked and set aside” in recent years.
“Horseshoe is now at the time where we need to appropriate the dollars,” Potts said Monday (Nov. 24) at a capital budget work session on what adds up to about $16 million in “most needed” projects and acquisitions.
Total projected cost for amenities shared with the bordering parkland leaseholder Cleveland Heights works out to $7.2 million, with Shaker covering 65 percent of the split, based on territory.
The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) will pick up about $25 million of the remaining project cost to remove the dam and restore two branches of Doan Brook across the drained lakebed to a confluence.
The sewer district will also build the main roadway, then manage and maintain the stream corridor.
