There was a pbs doc that came out a year or two ago.

I always thought something like drafthouse in austin

you guys have somehow turned his statement about wanting his residential street to remain residential into him wanting to suburbanize edgewater and keep the blacks out of his gated community. Don't become righteously indignant over a benign opinion.

I'm surprised that the general public is just finding out about this guy. He's been known to be a racist for decades, just ask Elgin Baylor. Also, in 2006 he was the defendant in the largest housing discrimination settlement in US HISTORY. where was this outrage when he was doing real racial damage instead of talking about it? Does the public actually need audio to notice these things?

the renderings showed a mockup for heinens advertising, if I remember correctly

funnily enough, it looks pretty similar to Burnham_2011's design from '11. http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,6560.msg550322.html#msg550322

They'll print anything in those reports.

Is that stat by land area? a large portion of several, huge, states (Alaska, texas, idaho, etc) are completely undeveloped and receive little subsidy.

There is a span of about forty years where they don't brag about when the structure was built.

The city being at half its peak population and downtown being at half of its peak population are two different things. Between workers, visitors, and residents, there is still high volume downtown. I wouldn't feel comfortable advocating for closing the street based on observation, alone.

Only in cleveland would every available inch of a sports facility be dedicated to making money... oh, that's everywhere in the world.

getting some windows in

I'm saying, either do it or don't. what is wasting money is completely revamping the freeway and having the end product be what it already is. If they want it to be a boulevard, make it a boulevard. If they want it to be a highway, keep it like it is. don't pour a ton of money something that isn't really changing.

My point is that they are not actually getting rid of the highway. They are planting trees around it and calling it a boulevard. I agree that truly converting the highway and enhancing access to it would be a great thing, they just aren't doing it though. They are keeping the exit ramps, they are not adding any more entrance points. the only good thing about the project is that they are revamping the tunnels. the fact that there are tunnels, however, helps prove that they are not converting the highway into a street.

Am I the only one who doesn't know what the point of this project is? what is the benefit of lowering speeds on a limited access road that will not have a sidewalk or crosswalks? if there is no increased access, what is this really being converted into?

I don't see any. I could be wrong though. I always assume that i'm missing something big because, to me, I looks like they are just adding pavers and trees and lowering the speed limit http://www.dot.state.oh.us/projects/ClevelandUrbanCoreProjects/LakefrontWest/Presentations/Documents/LakefrontWest_CLE%20CPC_2013.11.15_compressed.pdf

I wonder what their methodology is. Maybe they're just fudging the numbers

Also, tangentially related, here is the link to the audio of the City Club's forum on the state of downtown: http://www.cityclub.org/Media/Audio/CityClubPodcast-140326.mp3

the "more than ever before in the City's history" refers to the 12,000 residents figure, I think

maybe sports talk hosts should stop leaning on callers as a crutch and talk about more interesting sports topics that don't include breaking down the team, the draft, the schedule, etc. For instance, the Bess situation could have been interesting radio. They could have gone down the avenue of mental illness, treatment, the role of an employer in a situation like this, how society treats people who break down in this manner. Instead, we hear draft talk all day.

looks like downtown wooster.

I cant decide if the plagiarism is insulting or flattering

L&R has owned the Herold Building for six years. The refuting point to their claim that damages are too dire to repair is that the company was a major contributing factor to the building's worsening condition.

Request to demolish historic Herold Building is denied by Cleveland Planning Commission; debate over land continues By: Teresa Dixon Murray, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland City Planning Commission today denied a request to demolish the Herold Building, a historic four-story structure on Prospect Avenue in downtown Cleveland. The denial came after a representative for building owner L&R Group of Companies wasn't able to provide the commission with enough answers about whether the building could be restored or what they would do with the property at Prospect and Fourth if the building was torn down. Built in 1906, the Herold Building has been empty for more than a decade and has been condemned for years. An L&R affiliate bought the glass-fronted building, at 310 Prospect Ave., in 2008 and since then has been battling the city about restoring it or redeveloping the 0.19-acre site. The vote to deny the demolition request occurred primarily because the commission was concerned about a technical misstep if the board tabled the request again. Tabling the issue was the original motion. But commission members feared that tabling it for more than 30 or 45 days could be interrupted as passive approval.

I was going to make that point too. Of course they will showcase the mainstream options in Cleveland; it is intended as a travel promo, right? People traveling to a city will most likely look at in the handful of major neighborhoods in town and that's what the video is promoting.
