Cleveland dot com has the story now as well. With some details. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/09/cleveland_backs_out_of_deal_to.html#incart_river_index

I lived across the street from Kroger for a couple years. Yes the area between south campus gateway and fifth avenue is a tiny bit shadier than other parts of high street, but I never had an issue in the time I lived there. I just walked with my headphones in and my music off so no one would ask me for money and I still had my wits about me. I would walk home from OSU at two in the morning no problem.

Hahahahaha. Westlake. I ride that bus every morning and evening. It is standing room only every time I step on the 55. And ridership on the route has gone up 20% since they added the bus lane. That’s a fact, not an observation.

Anyone know the full bounds of the site? Is it the entire south side of breakwater from 65 to 58?

sorry, yea. The one showing Lorain to Aurora being the most promising commuter rail route

Is there an existing study on that kjp? I’d love to read it

Kjp—Yes I understand that’s how traditional casinos work. And that’s exactly why it doesn’t matter if you go to the downtown casino or the suburban ones. But that means the downtown casino needs to differentiate itself, and if it is the same suburban casino but smaller, harder to get to, fewer amenities and less parking, then it’s going to lose the market. By billing the downtown casino as a different experience, it can be more successful in the marketplace. Just because casinos traditionally don’t want you to look outside doesn’t mean that’s the right answer for this casino or for casinos going forward.

The one thing I think Jack casino misses in downtown is that it is IN a downtown. But it is exactly the same as all the other casinos. I don’t necessarily know what that means, but what about a rooftop gaming level, windows that actually let you see outside, a viewing platform on the second floor overlooking public square. I just feel like they went for a suburban copy casino when it didn’t need to be.

The tilted kilt parking garage exterior was repaired and repainted (it had been disgusting covered in rust and cracking everywhere). It looks much better now. There was also a discussion of the paninis moving into the tilted kilt location. I’m assuming that is because something is going on at the paninis building what with other places in that building closing.

Because they look like progress

How long will the crane stay up at the beacon? Will we have two cranes in the air at the same time?

No additional info on design, sadly. The mix of uses may change, though.

It is my understanding that Nucleus will happen, that we will hear announcements shortly, and that the original scale will change (read: be smaller)

Detroit’s Qline and Florida’s BrightLine are the only completed examples, I believe. Texas is working toward a privately funded high speed rail also.

When they received the county funding, they said their financing would close and construction would begin in September

I thought the streetcar-into-the-river incident was on the central viaduct? Not the old Detroit bridge? Great pics!

New build downtown parking garages don’t make money

The Northfield-warrensville multimodal connectivity plan addresses some of these issues including transit and trails You can download it from the Cuyahoga County planning commissions website

Excuse me. I meant. Ten stories. ;)

Ten stories? ;)

Imagine trying to build a BRT along mayfield road. you would need to get GCRTA, ODOT, various cleveland wards, cleveland heights, south euclid, lyndhurst, mayfield all to agree. it would be very difficult to make happen. Cedar would be even worse. Even if it got built? Trying to get all those communities to come up with a shared vision for development? Matching codes? Incentives? Tif districts? SIDs? That's just one example of how difficult our 59 communities makes development.

Work is being done in the background on this. There is no reason to be hopeless about Nucleus.

Lived on franklin for three years...somebody went through my car once in three years because I had left the door unlocked. Otherwise, I didn’t have any issues. Close your windows, lock your doors when you’re not home and you’ll be fine. Enjoy the street! You have fantastic neighbors :)

Heck no. An indoor mall downtown? Let’s not try this again. Plus, can you imagine all the traffic that would have to crowd through the East 9th exit? No way. We can do better than this.

Most of those courts are in the city of cleveland, are owned by Case, and are going to remain as open space uses after Case transitions most dorms down the hill. :-/
