Red Line Greenway “The Re-Connecting Cleveland project including the newly opened Red Line Greenway is doing just that — it is reconnecting our communities through a bold vision only possible through successful partnerships and community support,” said Cleveland Metroparks CEO Brian M. Zimmerman. “This new accessible trail is breaking transportation barriers that have existed for decades and will improve access to and from downtown.” The Red Line Greenway directly connects eight Cleveland neighborhoods along its route from the Michael Zone Recreation Center Park at West 53rd Street to the Cleveland Foundation Centennial Lake Link Trail at the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Columbus Road. Additional access points include West 44th Street, West 41st Street, West 25th Street and Columbus Road near Abbey Avenue and Franklin Avenue. The trail utilizes former RTA right-of-way along the Red Line to provide a linear urban trail with additional pull-off areas for passive recreation, picnicking and more. The project also includes a robust planting of native trees as well as landscaping along the length of the trail.
