Frequent browser, infrequent poster. I do have something to pass on that hopefully has not yet been discussed. I spoke to someone today who confirmed that Midtown Cleveland (the CDC) is moving into the Agora. Also in that space will be a restaurant run by the folks who operate Umami Moto (the food truck). Just an fyi...

Reddstone is a great place - in my experience the food and service has always been good. And you can't beat $.15 wing night!

My wife and I recently moved into a townhome on W. 54th, north of Detroit. I also own a place in Tremont (shameless plug: looking to rent/sell the place). DS, Tremont, and Ohio City pretty much run together, so whichever neighborhood you choose, the others are just a short ride/walk/drive away. Anyway, having lived in 2 of the three neighborhoods (albeit only for a brief spell in DS), I think they are both great, for all the reasons stated by the other posters. I would add that another great thing about both neighborhoods (and Ohio City) is that there is a very strong sense of community among many of the residents. The fact that there are so many active block clubs in all three neighborhoods is an indicator of this.

"Go ahead... fiddle with the speed numbers. Same argument still applies. If you go from unenforced 50 (which=70) to enforced 35 (enforced since it's new), that's 50%. I thought we'd already been through that." Are "unenforced" and "enforced" speeds something engineers and consider when analyzing queueing systems? Do cops decide to enforce speed limits in "new" areas only? Have you ever driven 70 miles per hour on the somewhat narrow and curvaceous shoreway bridge (by the stadium) in any direction? Especially when there is a higher volume of traffic? If you tell me you have served in the fields of engineering, traffic enforcement, and racecar driving I am on board with your argument.

[thumbs up] That's a good quip. Now try articulating a position. [rides off on bike] That was a funny response - I like the TV script format. Truth be told, I'm nowhere near as articulate on things of this matter as you appear to be. You made some great points - I just think they got lost behind some stretched numbers and your caps lock key. I check out this forum to get some nice perspective on what's going on around town. I'm a DS resident so this thread in particular interests me, as does the Shoreway project. I see it as a benefit to those in the DS area. I mentioned before that I live on W. 54th, so I'll get to enjoy not only an entrance to the new boulevard from my street, but also a multi-purpose trail and more access to Edgewater/Whiskey Island/etc. The (potential) ability to ride a bicycle on the boulevard is also something to look forward to. In my opinion, if you measure the positive impacts of the project versus the (potential) traffic issue - and that horse has been beaten dead - I think the project passes muster.

The above is display is what TV land likes to call "jumping the shark." You lost me, Fonzie.

My wife and I live north of Detroit on W. 54th and we're looking forward to having access to the shoreway/blvd right at our street, as well as a multipurpose trail to travel. I think our property value will benefit as well. And if bicycles are allowed on the blvd, that'll be a great ride. All good stuff...

I am getting ready to rent or sell a condo in Tremont in Lemko Hall, if that neighborhood interests you.
