  1. Add to that, Downtown Warren has added three new restaurants in the past few weeks/months, including some very upscale places like a steakhouse and a winery. plus the existing brewery, restaurants, amphitheater, and bars, downtown warren is seeing some very good changes!
  2. People (in my opinion, incorrectly) define gentrification as neighborhood change
  3. Was there any sense that this project would address the entire width of the street? Or just the center lanes? There are a lot of mismatched streetscaping elements and dead trees or empty tree pits along the length of superior
  4.

  5. A “campus” that has multi story buildings
  6. It will be built on the opportunity corridor at East 79
  7. If 1. Ken has enough info to announce something and 2. we saw boring machines on public square/Weston lot just yesterday, can we logically assume that public square/Weston lot is therefore the winner? They wouldn’t be boring there if SW knew it was going to build on the river
  8. An astonishingly small amount of cleveland and downtown are covered by the City's form-lite overlays. You can see them here: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/gis/cpc/basemap.jsp?command=larger The Horseshoe is not covered by the overlay.
  9. It was adopted. What it is is an urban core overlay, a district which provides additional regulations that are form-like. Requirements include 70% of the first floor being an “active use”, no maximum floor area ratios, requirements for main pedestrian entrances, transparent windows, no required parking, etc
  10. Check out the Oct 18 city of cleveland planning commission meeting for images: http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/designreview/drcagenda/2019/10182019/index.php
  11. I don’t know of any in greater cleveland, but N Grant Street in Columbus night be similar. (N Grant and East 7th Ave)
  12. @surfohio, if you want an idea of what this project may look like, google euclid’s waterfront improvement plan, if you haven’t seen it before.
  13. Transportation for livable communities initiatives grant
  14. This is a TLCI plan at heart, so there are a limited number of high-quality consultants that can be chosen. It cannot just be accomplished by the engineer and army corps.
  15. Thunderbird was the marketing name for a vision plan by the owner of the entire Scranton peninsula. They sold off chunks of Scranton peninsula to developers to actually build things. One chunk was sold to NRP group for this development.

  17. Are you kidding... JACK CASINO PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE Return to Case List | Start Over | Print Report (PDF format) Project Information Downtown/Flats Case # DF 2019-070 Address:Jack Casino / May Company Garage Company:Jack Entertainment Architect:Nelson Description: The proposed construction of a new pedestrian bridge over Ontario Street. edit: mods, please move if appropriate
  18. It happens everywhere. See Millennial Tower in Columbus or the Convention Center Hotel in Pittsburgh or the skyhouse tower in cincinnati
  19. That was my thought as well...there would have been a much larger community discussion if local legislation passed.
  20. Hapsburg? Or Haussmann?
  21. Agreed, I do not know of a legal mechanism for this. I’d be very curious, because that is a best practice communities nationwide would want to know about
  22. Louisville’s hard rock is significantly closer to a proposed Cincy hard rock. And Pittsburgh is significantly closer to cleveland than a proposed cincy hard rock. There’s no reason that these two wildly different markets couldn’t co-exist
  23. The data being used in this analysis is slightly incorrect right now. It comes from LEHD data that recent added 2016 and 2017, but does not include federal workers for those two years. So data for 2016 and 2017 should probably not be included.
  24. If I remember correctly, they said the sign would be projected onto the garage, but don’t quote me
