I really wish they had an entrance on Carnegie. No type of activity on Carnegie is a real miss.

Buildings don't have to reinvent the wheel and be the architectural marvels, simply fitting in with your surroundings can do wonders for a project. This won't win any design awards but I love how well it fits into the neighborhood.

New, more flexible Cleveland zoning code pilot wins Planning Commission approval If council derails this they are putting personal interest and gain over the betterment of the city. https://signalcleveland.org/new-more-flexible-cleveland-zoning-code-pilot-wins-planning-commission-approval/

Cleveland Side by Side homes, while they may not be made out of the best material are a very unique style of home that needs to be preserved.

Honestly, I feel that listening to the residents like we have holds us back. They want the old Cleveland while the big counties are building to attract the modern resident and family. We need to create incentives that attracts the remote worker, the family that works in Cuyahoga but lives in Lorain County, we need to think outside the box. I believe Oklahoma City offers a $10,000 incentive to remote workers that move to the city, something like that can go a long way.

Cuyahoga County's biggest issue is that it competes with itself. 58 different municipalities competing with each other to attract a (stagnent at best) population is and has been a recipe for disaster. Until we buy into true regionalism and combining municipalities to be a much more efficient region that competes for funding that solves another issue, housing and jobs. I believe this issue has to do with each other, not enough quality modern housing leads to people looking outside of the county for options and commuting to work from Summit, Lorain, Portage etc. I see it often at my job and I work for the County.

Mayor Bibb may have his flaws but I like that he is setting Cleveland up and positioning it to compete with the modern city. Combine that with Destination Cleveland attracting big events such as All Star Weekend(s), NFL Drafts, NCAA Final Four and now WWE Summerslam at Cleveland Browns Stadium (an underrated get), Cleveland is making moves both small and large to bring eyes to a sleeping giant.

I wish you didn't post this, god this hurts. The new Bridgeworks is literally the definition of building something just to say you did it. I don't think I've seen a project fall from grace like this one has.

Coming to work today, I realized how bad this traffic can potentially get based off of the current road configuration .

Isn't this entire project 8 Billion Dollars?

I don't believe it has been nixed, I believe that are building in phases and building as they secure funding for that next phase.

I actually don't know how I feel about the upper decks. Is that essentially the final form? If so it looks like something is missing.

This is the closest thread I could find for this: Cleveland, you paid a million bucks for this. Read City Hall’s modernization plan here. https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2024/03/cleveland-you-paid-a-million-bucks-for-this-read-city-halls-modernization-plan-here.html

There has to be a thread for discussions like this on here somewhere.

More of these projects around the city please.

So is it safe to say that they won't be merging with Cleveland State?

Huge fan of the design. I would like to see what the Glenville design looks like in detail but I do like the idea of those being brick to match the surrounding area and being smaller in scale to add a natural density.

$800 million sure doesn't go far these days.

With a city that still has so many empty lots and land to build on it blows my mind that we just tear things down, architecturally significant or not.

Maybe. We could easily lose this building and nothing replaces it. We'll see how funding comes together, I remember Woodhill station benefited from that huge HUD award.

Losing the Old Juvenile Court building is annoying because we just tear history down, time after time after time.

What's impressive about those is you can argue that they are still less than what they could've been but being basically a year removed from COVID everything was slowly starting back up

Progress is A bit stagnant right now

This would have the All Star game in 10 NBA cities? Are the Superbowl requirements even this strict? Lol

Mix in Airbnb and I think we'll be fine.
