^Or the VA.

You make good points and that's probably why they're studying the routes they are. I doubt dedicated lanes are happening on any of the routes.

Then have it travel along the north side of I-90 before turning north on 185th. Or take Grovewood to Villaview to 185th. If it works for the 37, why not for this?

No personal experience, but I've heard good things about Fridrich's. To echo everyone else, avoid the big box stores. The quality will be lower and parts are impossible to find when something does break.

I'm conflicted on which I like best. I think it needs to stop in Waterloo, but I think 185th should be covered too.

They've pretty much made it clear that a BRT extension would be a seperate route from the HL. But that would make no sense. Any extension would have to be an extension of the HL, not a brand new BRT, so that what McLovin is saying is logical. I didn't phrase that clearly. It'll be an extension of the HL, but the busses will all stop at Windermere and re-space themselves so that they're not any more bunched than currently. Additionally, a lot of riders coming from NE of Windermere will transfer to the Red Line or one of the other busses out of Windermere. (I'll probably take it to Windermere and transfer to the 3 for example.)

^No pics? Shame ;-) The ballroom was one of the nice things about the crown plaza, but it looked its age when I was in there for a conference a few years ago.

I almost googled to find it and then realized it would be a really bad idea to try and look this up while at work. I have heard this before too though.

A three-hour trip from Cleveland to downtown Toronto costing $150-$250 round trip? I think it would be wildly popular. In February though?

I doubt you'd have many people interested in taking it even if the option existed.

I think we discussed earlier that based on the pictures we could find of the building the cupola seems to have disappeared during the depression.

The study posted their "Definition of Tier 2 Alternatives Report" which has a boring title but is actually an interesting read if you're into seeing how they determine which alternatives to pursue and how they would work or if you live in the area they're studying. http://www.redlinehealthlinestudy.com/project-updates/definition-tier-2-alternatives-report-posted Edit: I should also add that I'm overjoyed that they listened to us at the Euclid public meeting and Alternatives E and G now extend up Lakeshore to 260th. :clap:

Which makes me wonder what they're smoking since 490 currently stops at a traffic light on 55th. I like your thinking.

Here's the revised plan for the area that includes the pedestrian bridge.

Fixed that for you and I agree they were terrible when I was over there on good friday.

^Yeah, that'd be nice. I'll settle for something on tires that's faster than going downtown and transferring to the HL or 38 (accute angles aren't cute). I'm not hopeful that any of the proposed alternatives will be as (for reasons we've already discussed) speed doesn't appear to be a high priority.

There's a FirstMerit and Potbelly Sandwiches that have been announced, but I think that's all they've said.

^No no, just making a bad joke.

^The name is University of Akron, but everyone calls it Akron U.

Akron college of why can't anyone get the name of our school right.

^I think he's refering to the old building that they'll be moving out of once the new building is finished. I haven't kept up so forgive me if I'm remembering this wrong, but I believe it used to be a district HQ for a separate downtown district that no longer exists, but the building is still used as a police station until they finish the building up near 55th. BTW, that building on Payne will look sweet if it gets rehabbed into residential in a few years.

Looks great, one minor correction though, there's no such thing as Akron University. Pet peeve of mine.

Looks like the 3rd district police HQ had it's topping off ceremony recently. I'm guessing that's what that building was, I can't remember hearing about anything else going up in that part of town. A tree was standing next to a flag on top of some steel a block or so north of Euclid just before 55th this morning.

I'm sure there's others, but these came to mind pretty quickly as being capable of hosting a team with minimal investment. Football - LA, San Antonio Baseball - Montreal, Vancouver Basketball - Newark, Columbus, Seattle
