Our Vision          

Daylighting Dugway Brook will be a catalyst for renewed ecological health and neighborhood development. Improving stream health and enriching the Lake Erie coastal zone will be balanced with providing social and economic benefits to the surrounding communities. This will be accomplished while acknowledging the effects of growth and preventing negative consequences while making development decisions. 

 Planning for the daylighting project will incorporate working with local residents and stakeholders to develop ways of improving environmental and social connections within the Glenville neighborhood and the Village of Bratenahl.
