CbusTransit

Can you give me more of a sense of what you think they are doing wrong/what they should be doing better/what outcomes you would like to see that aren’t happening?

My conversation with the port—granted this was years ago—was that they had identified discrete pieces that different groups would be in charge of. The port for bulkheads, cmha for demolition, neorsd for infrastructure, cleveland water for pipes,etc. and that they could do pieces independently. Some funding may be ready for each part

Wo. That is a massive expansion! All the way down Lorain and Detroit! Bravo to Ohio City!

There is another (in my opinion, better) gas station a little over a half mile away at Clifton/Baltic

Check out “Project Clean Lake” and they will have the right info. i believe it is something like 97% of all sewage overflows will be eliminated

If you are widening the stations to fit a smaller light rail vehicle, wouldn’t the wider heavy rail vehicle then collide with the station...

My reading of this is that if you replace red line heavy rail with light rail cars, it would all have to happen at once. You couldn’t get a couple new light rail cars and operate them on the heavy rail line also with heavy rail cars. There would need to be one big switch. Which would mean having all of the new light rail cars ready (built, in storage). Closing the red line to update all the stations. And then switching them. That is what I think it is saying

Have you looked at the evaluation pdf on the rail car study? It is here: http://www.riderta.com/sites/default/files/events/2019-04-16RailCar.pdf

The proposed cleveland heights rapid expansion included a detailed land use plan. It was terrible. It called for leveling much of Coventry and the surrounding high density, historic apartment buildings and replacing them with “modern” high rises. You can see an example of it: the musicians tower near Coventry. Had the rapid truly been expanded through cleveland heights, it would be more like the west blvd station (a sea of parking all around) than today’s little Italy station. We are probably lucky it was not built.

How would this have worked? Would the loop have been one way?

Thanks tj111

New ad brochure on CBRE shows the back parking garage is gone, awesome details on the public spaces of the northern building (plaza, ice skating rink), Gehrig street being a shared street, and high quality renders

Peak. Peek. Eek. yea it looked just a tad shorter. I saw it in passing. Guesstimate 10-11 edit: not sure where it was in the design phase at that point

I got a peak of the design and it looked to be a little shorter than that

I can’t speak to the annual estimates, but I can say that the census’ five year estimates are significantly off. Cities where households and housing units are estimated to have fallen by hundreds when the reality has been an increase as seen in local data.

Can you explain more? I don’t know much about the mechanisms in the regulations

A friend is trying to get a planning job in the cleveland area. What sites do people like to use when trying to find an urban planning job in the region?

Thanks! Looks great!

Is anyone else’s home page not showing the most recent posts correctly? I have one from ten minutes ago and one from 21 hours ago showing

Conveyor and Caster on Detroit Road recently moved its headquarters to Westlake. Not sure what’s going to happen to it’s former building on Detroit.

There are no “subsidized apartments” in tower city (that is, there are no income-restricted apartments in tower city)

Actually as I look more closely, is it three lanes wide and three parking spots? Or loading docks? Hmm

Speaking of nitpicking—the east fourth garage entrance has SIX lanes in and out? This is the main pedestrian thoroughfare to the Q. That can’t be allowed.

The city can tax parking and already does ? edit: to be clear, it’s a license not a tax. http://library.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll?f=templates&fn=default.htm&vid=amlegal:cleveland_oh_m&anc=JD_457.01

It is happening. They have been building out the interior and construction workers have been going in and out daily
