I remember I was downtown on the corner of Superior right before Public Square. A City of Cleveland garbage truck was sitting in the bus lane at the light. Even when the bus traffic light allowed it to go it blew the horn and the truck didn't move and the driver looked confused. The driver only moved once the actual lights turned green for normal cars. Same thing happened when I turned the corner, this time it was a city dump truck.

So either that Barnes & Noble on Euclid isn't doing as well and they took a smaller space to be able to stay by CWRU, or they were offered a different location by MRN so a bigger name(s) can move into their own spot. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Ask and you shall receive. Not overly impressed, but the sensor on here is larger so it lets more light in naturally and I have to get used to that lol. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Lol thanks but this was my Pixel 3 XL. I just got the new 6 Pro and it's supposed to be even better at night so I guess I have to do this again lol. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Throwback to when I took a trip Downtown to test out my smartphone capabilities. I was pleasantly surprised lol Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Don't forget the 1 bus route Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

Which is frustrating to me because I'm trying to have as many cranes in the sky as possible for the All Star Weekend lol.

Anyone know the situation with these? I ride by these frequently, hoping to see something. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

This is an amazing system and idea! Wow $62 for a monthly pass is extremely cheap but that is a great idea to not charge after the $62 limit has been reached. Very admirable.

I said the same thing until I saw Townhomes at the edge of downtown Chicago. The surrounding buildings built afterwards allowed it to blend in with the downtown landscape perfectly. Same goes with Midtown Atlanta. Also the buildings next to it (Masthead Brewery) are around the same height so that area of downtown already transitioned into shorter buildings. Throw in the warehouses around it and the new building fits it's surroundings. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

No it is $85 a month for the garage space, the same cost as a monthly pass. This is where the idea that COTA has with collaborating with businesses to over transit passes to workers downtown would come into play. It would be worth the trip.

Riding past those new townhomes currently under construction on Superior I really like the size and presence of them, should be a great addition. Superior definitely needs a road diet though for it to truly feel like walkable neighborhood in that area. Right now it still feels like a thoroughfare for workers to go home.

I have Councilman Conwell's personal number. I will try to reach out to him tomorrow to see what was discussed and get an idea. No problem btw.

No problem! The meeting was yesterday according to the paper though. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

No I live on the #3 bus route, it can be hit or miss.

So I think location of current stations, their condition and a lack of car traffic is the issue for RTA right now. So I recently got a job downtown on Public Square after having a job out in Beachwood for almost 2 years. Immediately I said “I’m going to Park and Ride at Windermere and catch the train to work.” As I thought about it I realized, “That’s actually not a convince to me and I’m only taking the train due to me being a transit advocate.” I live in Grenville, Superior station is 5 minutes or so down the road from me but lacks true security to park my car at so my next option is Windermere Station. That is about 10 minutes away from me and it takes me 17 minutes to get Downtown, essentially a 30 minute trip to work (if the train is there when I arrive at the station.) If I drive straight down Superior Avenue it is 14 minutes to get to work. I would be doubling my commute just to say I take the train to work. If the Superior Road station was in better condition and offered a more comfortable feeling when it comes to parking for 8+ hours I could justify it. The only argument one could offer for taking the train (unless you live walking distance away) is the savings in gas, but that argument goes out the window once gas prices fall. Even if we had heavier traffic I feel people would go out of their way to take trains but every major street is wide open for people to make it downtown instantaneously.

I want to go but I’ll be at work unfortunately. Hopefully some good information comes out while you are there if you do go. I too was hoping that the next building built would have had retail (not like the Circle North Building, the implementation of that has been awful)

WHat’s interesting is the rendering shows it as if it is sitting at the corner but the actual location isn’t near the closest intersection, I think that is what threw me off about the location. I wonder if the initial idea to have essentially a second phase of the Circle North Apartments on East 105th is dead. I know the councilman wanted to do residential with local retail there.

@KJPDo you know anything about this?

I was confused as well by that but I assume that they are requesting money for the remaining portions of the project. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

My guess for the TMUD winners for the Cleveland area would be Bridgeworks, Circle Square and Van Aken with Centennial as a dark horse. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Anyone know what the dumpsters at the old ABC tavern are for? I see framing in the space as well. What is going in here? Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

I mean I believe its been reported that Dan Gilbert gave retail companies rental discounts and or free rent to attract them down there. That definitely helps if true. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
