Gov. John Kasich and ODOT Director Jerry Wray this morning announced an unprecedented approach for the estimated $332 million project. ODOT will seek a private designer and builder team to demolish the existing bridge and build the second new bridge.

:-D But of course!!! I did also get some good pics of the show, but I couldnt pass up a couple of the E&Y building!!!

I was down at Jacobs (Nautica) Pavilion for the 311 concert this past Sunday. Here's a couple of pics of the E&Y building from the show. A nice outdoor venue, with decent views of the city. Just a little bit different angle of the building from down there.

Glad to see the townhomes going fast!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

August 1st FEB webcame update. The facade is now visible from the Innerbelt Bridge. Love the progress!!! http://www.flatseast.com/webcam.htm

:oops: :oops:

Thanks for the update Michelle!!

Any updates on the Schofield tax credit review that was supposed to happen at the end of June??

I would hope that a good repaving for W.6th and W.9th would coincide with the completion of the E&Y tower. Hopefully?!?! :wtf:

FEB webcam update. http://www.flatseast.com/webcam.htm

Saw these pics of the E.9th Street girder installation on the Inner Belt Bridge Facebook page from June 4th. http://www.facebook.com/Innerbelt

Shooters actually does have a few steps down to the boardwalk at the edge of the river. And I stand corrected. :oops: From the FEB webcam, it does appear that the tree and flag are up on the building. http://www.flatseast.com/webcam.htm

Topping out In building construction, topping out (sometimes incorrectly referred to as topping off) is a ceremony held when the last beam is placed at the top of a building. The term may also refer to the overall completion of the building's structure, or an intermediate point, such as when the roof is dried in.[1] A topping out ceremony is usually held to commemorate the event. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topping_out Topping out is when the last/final beam is placed. This building might have reached its final height, but the final beam hasnt been placed yet?? :wtf:

It's looking good. Getting closer and closer to topping out!!! It also looks like work might be starting on the Aloft hotel at the front of the building??

Yeah not a big deal, just figured that I'd post the link.

There is also an "Inner Belt / I-90" forum. :-D http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,2438.0.html

The attendance at the Indians game last night was just about 30,000. Combine the people from the game with people out at the casino and those just out enjoying an 80 degree Cleveland evening and I can only imagine what it was like last night!!! :clap: :clap:

From a cleveland.com article on 10-14-10 Cleveland planners approve concept for futuristic 'pixelated' windows on medical mart "Cleveland planners gave tentative approval Thursday for a medical mart building that would add a dramatically modern flair to a mostly conservative downtown. Updated plans show a "pixelated" pattern of windows, evoking DNA coding, for three sides of the medical showroom planned for the corner of St. Clair and Ontario avenues." http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/10/cleveland_planners_approve_con.html

On the way into work today, I saw some new trees were planted down the middle of Chester between aprox E.55th and E.85th. There were only a few planted, but a few additional holes waiting for trees!!! Now if they could just repave Chester ... :wtf:

Yep, its a great deal for people ... and the casino, the hotel, downtown restaurants, downtown bars. Positives for all parties involved!!! :clap: :clap:

That almost looks like a "Vegas style" building!!! I know that "The Gateway at Landmark" building wont be built, but something on that corner would be nice. As Phase II is being built, that piece of "property" might become more and more valuable. So hopefully something will built on that corner.

I'll take any "updates" to downtown cleveland, but I would be interested to see what they look like at night (before making a final decision) :wink: .

I had no idea that Tower 230 was changing either. Hopefully the Lincoln Tap House does well there.

Here's another update from the FEB webcam. Looks like they've started on another row of the facade!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: http://www.flatseast.com/webcam.htm
