Ground was broken at the Chagrin Highlands for a new luxury hotel Monday.

Results will be published this summer; changes could be made to signals, Bryden/Richmond intersection
The City of Beachwood should receive the results of a Chagrin Boulevard traffic management study and a master plan this summer. The plan, contracted in mid-April at $49,500 to GPD Group, will take almost four months to complete.
