Cudell-better

Traffic is light at the city’s warming centers. So far, the City of Cleveland’s designated warming centers at recreation centers aren’t seeing much traffic.

The city opened 20 shelters at 8 a.m. Monday to offer refuge for those needing shelter from the weather.

At the Michael Zone Center at W. 65th Street and Lorain Avenue, there were at least three people who said they are basically homeless and grateful for the warmth that was provided.

One person, Robert Meadows, said “You can’t let people freeze on the street.”

But most centers had few, if any, visitors.

Local county officials say that, in Cleveland, the men’s shelter at 2100 Lakeside Avenue and the shelter for women, children and families at 2227 Payne Avenue are also open around the clock.

City of Cleveland Spokeswoman Maureen Harper guessed that people would rather stay in a cool or cold house rather than venture out in the dangerous weather.

All Cleveland shelters will reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday but three shelters — Fairfax, Michael Zone and Sterling — will remain open overnight.

The Cleveland shelters are:

  • Central at 2526 Central
