It's a beautiful Friday night in Cleveland, a perfect kick-off to a long holiday weekend. Julia Berkman Sieck jumped for joy when she saw what happened today on Market Avenue.

CLEVELAND — After years of back and forth between the City of Cleveland and business owners, Market Avenue is permanently closed to cars in Ohio City.

“It’s not a good street for driving. It’s not; it’s narrow, it’s highly trafficked by pedestrians, and the sidewalks aren’t super friendly for people with strollers, or wheelchairs, or bikes. So, this just gives everybody more space and more accessibility to it," Berkman Sieck said. Anyone can relax on the street in a chair or a table, but this area is not yet a designated outdoor refreshment area or a DORA. The City said it's looking into those plans next.

“We actually met this week with Cleveland Police Department on an effort to really make sure there’s a lot of coverage in the area. So, CPD is actually committing additional resources to this area to make sure that everyone that’s here is safe and having a good time. Starting actually next week, there’s going to be increased presence in the area to make sure that everyone is having a good time," McCormack said.
