Just a friendly FYI: Cedar Point is having its busiest October Halloweekends *ever*. For the first time in its history, they had to turn guests away last weekend. If you can, try to go Sunday instead of Saturday! I just wanted to make sure you knew what to expect, but I hope you have a blast regardless!

EDIT: I'm out and about and using my mobile phone to post these pictures so I might not have posted them all correctly. I don't know if more than one showed up but hopefully you can see them. There should be about five. If not, I'll post the rest later when I'm home. I've also never posted photos on here before so I'm a n00b. So apparently they are now actively removing some from the short North. I took a picture of one below while I was there last night....and you can see where they removed the markings. There are now far too many crosswalks in it Short north with ADA ramps at actively have zero markings now. I also took some pictures of some regular crosswalks that have markings just to sort of highlight how awkward and barren they look. I also took some pictures of unmarked crosswalks that are obviously very highly used that need something. Literally anything. Even if they have their reasons, they're all BS. Every one of these should be marked. Every single one.

^^^OK, I thought so. I was just making sure I interpreted his sarcasm correctly. The internet isn't good for such things such as that, lol.

So just to make sure I'm not interpreting this as a tounge-in-cheek answer: They are moving OUT of Cleveland? Not moving WITHIN Cleveland?

Wait......I'm so confused. As someone who's only been passively following this, I have a question: Is Sherwin-Williams leaving Cleveland or not?

If I wanted to just....build a tiny house, could I do that? lol

Oh, yeah I don't mind the brick ones! Front Street has them as well (in spots....mainly River South). Anything that makes them stand out to motorists more than two (or none at all) white lines parallel to the "stop here" line (whatever it's called). I truly think most people just think they're "stop here" lines when, in fact, there is usually one marked way back before the crosswalk lines. I'd say like 50% of drivers just.....drive up and sit in the crosswalk : \ Help me start a petition! ................................or fire that one person rumored to be the hold up that I mentioned in my post from August, lol.

Also, I believe the striped crosswalks are usually considered the "internationl style" meaning.....they're pretty much standard globally, lol. As far as Cleveland and Cincinnati, I think it varies as well....none are that great, but Columbus seriously lags behind. Most of Cleveland's downtown are striped, although not with the best paint. I mean when you have cities like Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, Boston.....they're all so close if not already implementing their Vision Zero plans yet we can't even get up to speed on crosswalk design. ALSO......many small towns do this already. And when I lived in PA, they were nearly everywhere and universal. Maybe it's state mandated there?

I'm so glad this thread was created. In addition to the comment I made in the OP, I also said this about a couple months ago in another thread....so here's my initial contribution to the thread. Just gonna quote myself:

Fun fact: I was literally walking across the intersection of Broad and 3rd for my lunch break today, looking at the exact area in question being proposed, and I smelled.....sewage, lol. (I laugh out of sadness now). Yeah I guess there might be something to this inhibition to our growth. At least anecdotally ?

Yes, I absolutely can see them doing that. It may be Grandview, but there are still many NIMBYs. I wouldn't be surprised in the least. In fact, I ASSUMED that was why they were only 3-4 floors. It honestly looks awkwardly short if you drive by on the highway. Like they buildings SHOULD be larger. Oh well. Great for the lucky 1500 residents. Could be 3500 but whatever.

Good luck with the crosswalk markings. I've talked about this before, but I'm literally disgusted with the crosswalks in this city. Even in the Short North they don't use the striped, clearly marked crosswalks. It's all the two lane "standard/type A" crosswalk and it seriously pisses me off. I actually want to start a petition to make the standards higher.

Do you guys--who are clearly smarter and more informed than I am--think it's too late? Just want your opinion. I would imagine the city is *aware* of all this, yes? And what was all in that huge bond package we just passed? Surely SOME infrastructure for sewer, right?

Omg, really? The damage must not be as bad as it seems in the picture, lol. Thanks. I don't have Instagram.

That looks absolutely amazing. This is going to be special. Also, did you guys see what happened to the new Roosevelt Coffee Shop in the the first Gravity building??? I didn't even get to check it out yet ? I really hope they reopen.

So will the plot of land just be held hostage if we're assuming this project to be abandoned?

"will fill in the last block on High Street " Hmmmmm.....there are still multiple parking lots on High that can be filled in, Col. Bus. First.

Might as well go all out, come full circle, and just name it the "Ohio Against the World Tower", lol.

Glad to hear that's clickbait. My god I'm so sick of hearing "Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte". Throw in Austin as well. Like....let's find some new places to put things in America, thanks.

^^^I legit don't like the middle finger tower, lol. I do, however, like the Capitol Tower one, though. I hope something just as tall can be built there and harken back to this design somehow. About when/what year(s) were each of these proposed?

Uh, yes please. It's pretty infuriating they can just do this without saying anything for so long.

I do not have pictures because it was very dark out, but on my commute today on the bus, High Street directly in front of where this will be built is primed and ready with a bunch of orange barrels moving traffic out of the way for construction.

This is exciting! Didn't even know who owned these. This street (3rd) could be really awesome in a few years.

These streets are all wide enough to convert to two-way, have a dedicated bus lane and bike lane as well. It's crazy how much right-of-way they have to play with.

I work for Columbia Gas. The rumor has always been that it was meant for a third COH building, but they never built it. I don't believe they have plans to build it now, either.
