Innovative Infrastructure Initiatives The City of Beachwood exemplifies its progressive spirit by continually seeking innovative ways to enhance resources for residents through a focus on public safety, sustainability, and accessibility.
Sustainability Through a partnership with Rust Belt Riders, the city now offers residents a free composting service, helping reduce food waste and promoting environmental responsibility. Since its launch, 274 Beachwood households have signed up and diverted 41,578 pounds of composting material from local landfills. Accessibility To address parking challenges near the playground, BFAC, tennis, and pickleball courts, the city constructed a path connecting the Community Center to the pickleball courts. The city also installed a temporary back entrance gate to the pool, improving access and easing congestion. Technology
The IT department implemented Frontline software, enabling online requests for overnight parking and vacation checks. At the same time, the Community Services Department introduced an online registration system for Beachwood Camp programs, streamlining processes for families and staff. Public Safety The city installed flashing beacon crosswalks at key intersections, including Fairmount and Shakercrest Boulevards, George Zeiger Drive, and Fairmount Boulevard near the Beachwood Family Aquatic Center. These initiatives reflect Beachwood’s commitment to innovation and community well-being.
Expanding Access & Education The City of Beachwood is dedicated to enhancing its infrastructure and educational facilities for the community’s future. The completion of Phase Two of the Road Project, including Wendover Drive, Timberlane Road, Letchworth Road, and Fire Station Drive, was finished on schedule and under budget, showcasing efficient planning. In education, final site plan approval was granted for two new elementary schools, Bryden and Hilltop, set to open in early 2026. Additionally, preliminary plans were approved for expanding Fuchs Mizrachi School, which will add three building extensions and four new play areas.
These initiatives reflect Beachwood’s commitment to its residents’ foundational needs and long-term educational
growth, ensuring a dynamic future for generations to come.
