  The CERN Lin­ear Elec­tron Ac­cel­er­a­tor for Re­search (CLEAR) at CERN has been op­er­at­ing since 2017 as a ded­i­cated user fa­cil­ity pro­vid­ing beams for a var­ied range of ex­per­i­ments. CLEAR con­sists of a 20 m long lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor (linac), able to pro­duce beams from a Cs2Te pho­to­cath­ode and ac­cel­er­ate them to en­er­gies of be­tween 60 MeV and 220 MeV. Fol­low­ing the linac, an ex­per­i­men­tal beam­line is lo­cated, in which ir­ra­di­a­tion tests, wake­field and im­ped­ances tud­ies, plasma lens ex­per­i­ments, beam di­ag­nos­tics de­vel­op­ment, and ter­a­hertz (THz) emis­sion stud­ies, are per­formed. In this paper, we pre­sent re­cent up­grades to the en­tire beam­line, as well as the de­sign of fu­ture up­grades, such as a dog­leg sec­tion con­nect­ing to an ad­di­tional pro­posed ex­per­i­men­tal beam­line. The gain in per­for­mance due to these up­grades is pre­sented with a full range of avail­able beam prop­er­ties doc­u­mented.
