  1. It will remain detached yes, and I agree it is a shame.
  2. I live in Franklin-Clinton’s jurisdiction, just missed out on this one by a few blocks I guess. They say you need one of those Polar Pops spiked with whiskey to get through the meetings tho.

    I know it’s the Daily Wire, but Jesus.
  4. They’re utility markings. I do think they’re ugly in general. Usually when you see them it signifies upcoming construction.
  5. This is why us construction guys have folks like you to rely on ?
  6. I’m glad you convinced me to take the time to read this. I’ve gotten so tired of the pieces that sound like the writer sat at their desk while perusing the destination cleveland website.
  7. I’d be curious to know how accurate it would be. I know we’ve had issues in wooded areas...I assume tall buildings would do the same? I almost failed my surveying class in college though, so ??‍♂️
  8. I don’t know how anyone can blame Superior and the busses when, thanks to the Honorable Frank G Jackson, the square never got the chance to operate as designed. The busway was supposed to be a seamless and complimentary addition to the square, but instead Frank decided to quite literally cut the square in half (and make it unnecessarily ugly with traffic paint plastered everywhere).
  9. They will have to yes, and the city isn’t thrilled from what I hear. Construction won’t start for 5+ years though so there is time to sort things out. http://www.dot.state.oh.us/projects/ClevelandUrbanCoreProjects/Innerbelt/Documents/2015-12-03 INNERBELT CORRIDOR MAP.pdf
  10. Ah! There it is, thank you! Construction is slated to start the summer of 2021, but I hadn’t heard about it yet.
  11. @KJP, are you aware of plans for an intermodal transit center to be built at the end of the blue line? I haven’t seen discussions anywhere that I can remember.
  12. @KJP’s reporting: ?? Everyone else: 5-YhKt0sCYuulzio.mp4
  13. If the retailers were clamoring to have a presence here, why wouldn’t they have just filled Tower City?
  14. Although I don’t work in commercial construction (heavy highway/public infrastructure here), soil sampling is necessary to design the foundations for these structures. If it’s a shallow foundation (i.e. pad) you’ll know what the allowable bearing is for that location. For deep foundations (i.e. piles) you’ll get an idea of the depth of bedrock, what type of deep foundation will be needed, and how deep/how many there will be. There is always some unknown with geology, but you need to know all this before you start construction because it decreases risk and makes cost estimates more accurate. Edit: an example of the results
  15. @KFM44107 how much academy presence is there in cleveland now? Is it in addition to the highway patrol academy training?
  16. Council has to sign off, but they’ve been Frank’s rubber stamp for a while now.
  17. In my experience the railroads aren’t very helpful or accommodating. Once in a meeting when asked to do something they didn’t like, they responded with “we took out the buffalo and the indians; if we need to, we’ll take out you too.” Or something to that effect ?
  18. Ok, me seeing a helicopter doing tight circles 100’ above the Detroit Superior Bridge now is making more sense. I heard on the radio (via road closures) that they are filming a movie on the west side. Its all coming together! ?
  19. Love the vigilante tactic. But nearly striking two people, one a child, with a 2,000 pound weapon should be more than a minor misdemeanor. Our motor vehicle penalties really are much to lax.
  20. I wish there was a shocked reaction face on here ??
  21. ?. Not only the aesthetics from the lane way, but also sound. If some sort of covering could deflect the noise of vehicles in the garage it would be a major plus.
  22. isn’t there currently a US courthouse on Public Square?
