coordinated facilities master plan. This
October, the public is invited to take part
in this important planning process to

current and future community facilities.
The master plan is a blueprint that

Last summer, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) presented their
findings and recommendations for the Shaker Lakes, including the dams at Horseshoe
Lake and Lower Lake, to the public. As part of NEORSD’s responsibility for regional
stormwater management, they propose to remove Horseshoe Lake dam and restore the
Doan Brook with native plants in the footprint of Horseshoe Lake.
They also propose to rebuild the
Lower Lake dam so that it meets the
requirements of the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources for a Class I dam.
The estimated cost for both projects is
$28.3 million, which will be fully funded
by NEORSD through its Stormwater
Management Program.
Residents can keep up with the latest
information about the recommendations,
including future opportunities for public
input on the restoration of the Doan
