Cleveland closes off Market Avenue to car traffic to create more public space

The street closure could open the door for restaurants, bars and a coffee shop in the area to expand their outdoor seating, sponsor events or hold concerts at or near the new pedestrian walkway.Jessica Trivisonno, a Senior Strategist for the West Side Market tells 19 News, “There’s been a couple of pilots over the years starting in 2019. They closed it for a couple of months for the summer, Ohio City, Incorporated did. Then, during COVID the street was closed to support outdoor dining.

Trivisonno tells 19 News, “A lot of the benefits pedestrianizing a street like this one, it supports the businesses, it gives people sort of an interesting thing to do. It creates a lot of really vibrant street life.” Alan Wilhelms who is a regular customer on Market Avenue says when he was just 14 years old he walked this route to St. Ignatius High School. At the time the street was dark and empty, but he says popular businesses with outdoor seating have made the area come alive and he’s all for the street closure.
