BRT seems a little overrated. And I wish we had more communities that where better connected to rail station. A lot of them seem in awkward positions. I like how the trains in Shaker Square are at street level and you can see them going by and the surrounding neighborhoods there aren't in the best shape.

So is Dredgers Union going to be 2 floors then?

There is a huge difference, just take a step in both stores, you can tell right away. Thats all im going to say about that and like Hootenany said, lets keep this on topic

I heard so many people quoting the 39 mph train line. I think that in itself turned a lot of people off even though it wasnt true.

Does anybody think the west sides rail service should be extended? It appears like you could have a route that hits downtown Lakewood

It really has a presence when driving by. Looks like they got a new sign outside the student center too

make sure you go when its open lol

I really hope we can get these schools improved, cause I really want to stay in the city. If I have to though, Ill give up my dream for my future kids, but hopefully the city allows me to do both. Survey: Strong schools key to retaining Cleveland residents CLEVELAND -- A first-of-its kind survey by Cleveland State University of middle-class Cleveland residents indicates that an effective public school in their neighborhoods could influence them to remain living in the city. In research conducted by a team at Cleveland State University's Levin College of Urban Affairs, 271 residents of Ohio City, Tremont, Detroit Shoreway and Downtown were interviewed about their attitudes toward the Cleveland Metropolitan School District as well as their future residential plans... http://www.wkyc.com/news/education/education_article.aspx?storyid=170351&catid=35 _______________________________________________________________________________ Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson says schools need fixed first Frank Jackson had every intention of using a meeting with a reporter to advance his administration's strategy for attracting new public and private investment to the city. And for much of the 90-minute interview in his corner office in Cleveland City Hall, the city's mayor laid out a vision for development — much of it facing Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River — that he hopes will follow the more than $1 billion in downtown construction already under way or expected in the form of the Flats East Bank mixed-use project, the convention center/medical merchandise mart and the planned casino... http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20110117/SUB1/301179995

The arcades definitely have small spaces

^ If I read that right, I wouldn't want to see the current restaurants leave East 4th Street. They can stay there and retail can line Euclid. I wouldnt wish away a good thing

Reading the language in the WKYC article, I believe that the C-Line alone will run during the extended hours from 7-11 during the week and 11-11 on the weekend. I don't believe there is any service extension planned for the B-Line or E-Line. Also, I don't believe the C-Line will be running at all during the day (while the B and E-Lines are running). All three line running at the same time would be VERY redundant and inefficient, IMO. "C-Line" Downtown Trolley is a service hour extension of the very successful "E-Line" and "B-Line" Trolley Service, which will operate between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. on weekdays, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends. The frequency of this service will be every 10 minutes. Basically, they will take a few of the trolleys off the road at 7 PM and have the remaining trolleys run the C-Line. You are correct. ClevelandOhio, read the press release on RTA's website: http://www.riderta.com/nu_newsroom_releases.asp?listingid=1537 THAT is why we don't understand why they're proposing to stop the C-Line at E. 9th. Okay now that doesnt make any sense. There is no need for service on east 9th street at night, not now at least. Going through playhouse square and east 12th would definitely make more sense. What about Cleveland State if we expect that area to keep going? I guess they could just use the healthline, but that doesn't take them to the warehouse district. Idk

Downtown willoughbys park isnt really surrounded by the buildings like chagrin falls

Maybe after like 7:00pm they could change it to East 12. I do think it is important to have it run east 9th during the day though. I think the easiest solution would just to be run the E line on nights and weekends instead. I swear I thought I read that all lines hours where going to be extended though

Chardons downtown is actually looks really nice too. Ive actually never been there, ive been to the city a lot though for football games and things but never to the downtown. Ill probably check that out too.

Yeah Chagrin Falls is a nice place, they do have that triangle park in the middle which I like. Thats something that Downtown Willoughby lacks. And Chagrin Falls has the falls of course which is nice. Does Medina have nice shops like Chagrin Falls like bookstores, icecream shop, etc? I think I might take a trip out there when the weather warms up.

My point exactly. RTA has a chance to connect the entirety of downtown, including CSU, and they want to stop at E. 9th? Makes no sense. I like the C line during the day because it can transport workers on East 9th to East 4th and another way to get the warehouse district. It also serves several hotels. But I think, since you guys have said the C line will be the only one open late, That the E line should have been the one they decided to keep open late. That route seems to be the strongest. Im fine with the B line shutting down early though.

Why on this map do they classify the healthline as rail?! Wow its a long bus, but it still has wheels!!!! http://media.cleveland.com/metro/photo/18cgrtajpg-9773ef79d19569ee.jpg

Maybe the person was just mistaken

Has there been any more murders since the one on the 1st?

Thats awesome

Well thats what the E line does. And no other route took you from East 9th to Euclid Avenue and East 4th so that is a gain for all of those workers. Right, but the E-Line doesn't run nights and weekends. I thought with this money they will extend the service on all routes

Yeah I basically grew up over there so I wouldn't count it, definitely a nice area but it lacks a square which I like. Of the ones listed, what ones have the best small shops, most lively, and best looking?

hahah yes it did

And since ive enjoyed making maps today... <b>Here is the route</b> http://tinyurl.com/47ygpay
