Streetscape Improvements

Streetscape Improvements
During the 1970s, the City of Shaker Heights and the Chagrin-Lee-Avalon Merchants Association worked together to improve the shopping center primarily by renovating storefronts and constructing streetscape improvements, including sidewalks, brick pavers, planters, and new signage, as seen here in this 1975 photo.
