Litening

This design pattern is very prevalent in some of the most highly planned and desirable places to live in the country. I'm thinking places like Irvine, CA. Lots of 50 MPH boulevards (definitely not "highways", despite the speed limit) with very dense housing immediately adjacent behind barriers/landscaping. Not a model used much here in Ohio (at least not that I'm aware of, since we don't actually plan much of anything), but obviously extremely successful at what it's trying to accomplish. And in practice just about the opposite of "forbidding" or "dead" or "separating". In fact, extremely inviting and walkable/bikeable. Not to say that this pattern is necessarily appropriate in this case (or that they're really even trying to use it), but it definitely can work really well.

Just Hypothetical here - The Norfolk Southern parcel south of Progressive Field where 20 years ago they considered this parcel for the Cleveland Browns Stadium, Then Bart Wolstein considered this site for a Major League Soccer Stadium ( which he did not get any city support ) and then considered Northfield before he died. Is this parcel Big Enough to move Thistedown racetrack to and THUS incorporating it into PHASE 2 Gilbert would need state approval to move Thistledown (as a Racino) to Cleveland. He already has approval to move it to the Green area. http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2013/03/thistledown_slots_to_begin_new_era.html
