Where the work happens
Cuyahoga County is the practical boundary, and the lots inside it are not all the same age or the same problem.
Greater Cleveland is an old built environment, and that is the single most useful thing to know about its pavement. A large share of the commercial lots in this county were first constructed between the late 1950s and the early 1970s, which means the base under them was designed for the vehicle weights and the delivery patterns of that era. What runs over them now is heavier and more frequent, and the base is not getting any deeper.
The second thing worth knowing is that the lake changes the weather as you move away from it. The near-west and near-east suburbs sit in a different snowfall and freeze pattern than the southern ones, and the number of times a lot crosses the freezing point in a season matters more to its pavement than the lowest temperature it ever sees.
One county, one inherited pavement problem, several hundred versions of it
A large share of the commercial pavement in this county is carrying traffic that nobody was designing for when it was built, and the bill for that arrives suddenly rather than gradually.
Almost all of a retail lot is barely loaded, and a few square yards of it carry everything
The busiest part of a shopping centre lot is rarely the part that is structurally failing, and the part that is failing is usually behind the building where no customer ever looks.
Sixty years of layers, and the cracks underneath all of them
Very little of the commercial pavement along these older strips is still the pavement that was laid. What is there now is an accumulation, and it behaves differently from a structure that was built once and built properly.
Appearance is a legitimate constraint on an office property, and it still does not change the order of the work
On a professional building the pavement is a leasing item, which is a good reason to care how it looks and a poor reason to buy the visible work first.
These four pages cover the metro rather than exhaust it. A property in Lakewood, Strongsville, Solon, Euclid or anywhere else inside the county line faces the same underlying conditions, so the absence of a page for it means nothing in particular.
