That's why the state is squandering opportunity by failing to focus federal stimulus money for roads and neighborhoods in its metropolitan cores, they say. Several hundred advocates pushing for pro-urban policy reforms in Columbus and in Washington, D.C., gathered Monday at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center.

I am absolutely in favor of increasing social services, but in does this need to be in such prime real estate? Especially an area w/ as much potential as Euclid Ave?

I really hope this project gets the funding it needs. The 'scooby doo ghost-town' flats is such an eye sore.

I just read that in the PD. I love East 4th. It could spur a lot of development in the surrounding areas, ie warehouse district, but people have to feel that its safe. Maybe get a 2 cop foot patrol, 24/7 throughout the area. Be proactive instead of reactive.

I heard the powers that be bought some houses on route 59 for future development. Any details on that?

I hope this is the right thread to put this in, I'm still getting the hang of it.
