Boy, it really bums me out that those buildings in the 2007 picture were leveled. I wish those were redeveloped with a new mixed-use building in the empty space to create a more urban feel, rather than this maze of setback suburban buildings and parking lots we have now.

Anyone have any updated pics after all the construction?

Great pics! The Pearl District is easily one of my favorite neighborhoods in the US. Beautiful architecture, very walkable and bikable, and great beer and food everywhere. Plus, streetcars!!

Are you referring to the street-side signs regarding the outer, inbound lane being bus-only in the mornings? This isn't much of a change from the prior practice of having no parking in the outer lane inbound during the morning rush, and in the outer lane outbound during the afternoon rush. The new practice only formalizes that a bus lane during the direction of rush hour travel. Many motorists stayed out of the outer lane because they might get caught behind a bus anyway. But the buses start running at 5 a.m., run throughout the day, and continue to 10 pm while sharing the outer lanes with traffic and parked cars outside the rush hours -- same as before. I was referring to the 55f that runs from Crocker Park, which as I understand it, only has a couple departures with the latest at 6.45 AM. I was hoping to see that there will be expanded service running from Crocker Park because I'm sure there'd be people will take advantage of the bus later than 6.45 AM. In terms of the dedicated lanes, I think it's a great idea, but I kind of wish it was permanent rather than limited to rush hours. I have a feeling it'll create confusion for people.

I believe this is just simply taking place of the 55/55f. The 55f has a small window of service during rush hour and starts at Crocker Park. The 55 which runs all day begins at Westgate. What I'd really like to know is if the 55f will have bigger window of operation. The line only runs so early in the morning that it doesn't even seem worthwhile.

http://www.cleveland.com/architecture/index.ssf/2014/09/new_plan_for_the_flats_is_desi.html#incart_m-rpt-1 So what kind of an impact are we to expect from this? How will this plan materialize and when can we start seeing progress?

Anyone have any ideas what these plans could entail? Have there been any rough drafts (?) or anything like that released?

Where's the location of this pic?

I love your pictures KJP. They have a sense of 'realness' to them, seeing the everyday life rather than just the typical glamour shots. Is this the predecessor to HOC (Humans of Cleveland)?

^ What's the actual likelihood that the buildings will be that tall?

How is there a picture of the skyline renderings? Are there already renderings of the buildings themselves?

I love the direction they're taking and it all looks great. Opening up center field to the skyline is gonna look awesome, but I have to admit I'll miss that walking bridge. I always thought that looks really unique.

The thought of downtown infill gets me all warm and fuzzy feeling inside :-D

So are plans for constructing the building still moving forward, or does that not happen without the Ferrari dealership?

Oh boy, 12-18 parking spots will now be gone. What will the city do after this travesty? Which one of the dozens of surface lots or thousands of street spaces along the line will people now choose from?

I wonder if Eli's addition at the market is a result of the other OTR location failing, or if that location wasn't as prosperous as the market location. Sidenote - are there apartments/condos above the street level retail in those buildings at the market? Or are those offices, or vacant?

Any one have any photo updates of recent work? It's been a while since anything has been posted?

So what are some ways to raise the $30million in funds? Is that a reasonably attainable number?

Wow, That's a pretty dramatic improvement. Can't wait to see all the detail when clean!

Are they power washing the facade there? Are they planning to clean the entire building? And lets get some daytime pics!

That kitchen is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Stop fiddling with the microphone!!!

Any chance you can scan and upload that? It may be interesting to see what the nation is stating about us.
