Is this our long-awaited mobile payments trial? http://appshopper.com/travel/rta-cle The official mobile ticketing app for the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is here! RTA CLE is the convenient mobile solution for planning and paying for your transit fares.

Could be. There's also an alley between Carnegie and Sumner labeled "East 13th Street." I clicked on some properties along 13th on both sides of Carnegie but nothing stood out for me. Guess we'll have to wait for more information to know for sure. That's right by the back door of my workplace, there's actually signage there at the corner of East 12th and Bronson Court. So unless there's a typo in the agenda (or the sign :D ), that's not it.

Saw the Starbucks "coming soon" sign today, so I guess we can call this confirmed.

Why doesn't Mitchell's open an ice cream next to all of our houses? Kids are awesome. :) Blessing and curse, folks. Being a two minute walk from Mason's Creamery tests our willpower quite a bit. :D

I distinctly remember going to that theater in high school and always parking on the street. :D

Wolley Taxi has its license revoked. http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/investigations/cleveland-revokes-cab-company-license-in-midst-of-ongoing-5-on-your-side-investigation

Brickstone on E 9th has a sign posted that they are now open for Gateway events and private parties only. Sounds like a death rattle to me.

Stunning photos. I look forward to your first visit to Cleveland. :-)

I once saw as much stuffed in a Renault Le Car. #winning?? :-o

I believe they are the same length as the current articulated buses that already stop there on the 26, so I don't think the work is related.

Looked like cleaning may have begun this evening as I walked by.

I've been seeing tweets about this every single day for at least the past week. My bad. I scrolled back farther and saw some mentions from 6/7 and 6/8. Still felt bad watching all those people running. At least the wait allowed me some extra time to admire the new signs, they are FANTASTIC.

I was extremely disappointed to see such a major change so poorly communicated. http://www.riderta.com/service-alerts/june-8-bus-stops-change-downtown-superior-ave-westbound There seemed to be massive amounts of confusion this afternoon. I noticed some paper signage this morning on a trip back from the Clinic, and then watched huge crowds running to catch the 22 at the new stop on my way home from work. There was apparently a tweet around 3pm, but I don't recall anything about the changes on RTA's website in the stories about the most recent service change. This is pretty important stuff, and RTA, which normally communicates well, really dropped the ball.

I think you nailed it. This place was a five minute walk away that I never even thought of making. Not compelling.

Saw this Tuesday. Definitely had the look of landscape irrigation trenching. Not sure if this massive lawn had problems before.

Councilman Cummins has more info on this at his site. http://brian-cummins.blogspot.com/2013/03/four-rehab-projects-in-works-on-w-25th.html

On Monday the official Amtrak app for Windows Phone was released. There already appears to be an update. Discover the convenience of traveling with Amtrak on your Windows Phone®. With the Amtrak app you can you can get simple and intuitive access to all the travel information you need, whenever you need it. • Book one-way and roundtrip tickets • Check train status • Search for station information • Show your eTicket while onboard • Save your ticket to your phone calendar http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/amtrak/c8824bb8-3a85-48f7-af54-954bd5673cc6 I thought this was exciting news. Then again, I may be the only Windows Phone user at UO....

Well that explains things. I'm glad I used the search function, I guess that should be a lesson.

Don't use the regular interface as you would on a computer. Use the "Text-only/Accessible Site" link. This is mobile friendly, and allows you to bookmark stops/routes you use most often. Even more convenient on Windows Phone, as I can pin my regular stops, or sets for a long trip, directly to the start screen.

One of these was mine. I have twice waited 55-65 minutes in the evening at the transition point between 20 and 30 minute service frequency. I'd feel a bit better if there weren't occasional odd NextConnect issues making it difficult to predict whether a scheduled run had "disappeared". One can't be sure if the data is bad, or if an incident has occurred like this past Wednesday... I waited ~5:30pm for the westbound #22, which didn't arrive at its normal 5:42. About ten minutes later, 3 articulated #22 buses drove past nose-to-tail eastbound opposite my stop at E 9th. The good news this week is that Tuesday the NextConnect sign at W 25th and Lorain displayed a bus as "Departing" (normal behavior, and accurate within a minute or two) and then displayed "#22 West Park - Scheduled to Depart" in italics. This is a fantastic feature if it can be rolled out to the signs and the website to let riders know when the times displayed are schedule-based estimates rather than location-based predictions. Unfortunately I've never gotten a response from the NextConnect email address to kudos, questions, or criticisms. Hopefully someone has some insights on this.

I was curious about this as well. I saw a hydrant permit in the window the day before, and examining the wooden structure today, it runs from the hydrant on the curb to one of the windows removed from the building. Apparently this is some sort of protective conduit for a hose or pipe.
