The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, in conjunction with the City of Cleveland, OH and the Cleveland EcoVillage, is working on plans for transit-oriented development in the area around the station, and Detroit–Shoreway is additionally the site of a brownfield redevelopment of an old Eveready Battery Plant, known as Battery Park. The city is working with the Ohio Department of Transportation on plans to rebuild the limited access West Shoreway (SR-2) as a low-speed, 35 mph boulevard, reconnecting the long-split neighborhood with access to the lake.

Gordon Square Art District
The Gordon Square commercial district dates back over 100 years, including the construction in 1911 of the Gordon Square Theatre (originally a vaudeville theater) and the 1921 construction of the landmark Gordon Square Arcade, which included a silent movie house, the Capitol Theatre. The bustling district was home to multiple immigrant groups but faced abandonment and decline in the latter part of the 20th century. In 1984, Cleveland Public Theatre first took up occupancy. It occupied the former Irish Social Hall near West 65th Street and Detroit Avenue, expanding its holdings in 1995 to include the Gordon Square Theatre. In 1999, Cleveland Public Theatre and Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization (DSCDO), owner of the shuttered Capitol Theatre, unveiled their vision of Gordon Square as an arts district.
