  1. I think this is a first from this angle! haha only took 206 pages.
  2. Trying my best to get this comment deleted, but that's stunning - reminds me of the grand designs episode where they redid the water tower into a home. But back onto the subject I appreciate how the stack is perfectly centered looking south from Public Square lol
  3. I wish there was a puke react lol mods can we get on that please?
  4. GISguy replied to StuFoote's post in a topic in Mass Transit
  5. Ahhh! I thought I had more time. Man, we're losing these hulking buildings at a very fast pace. Not a bad thing (progress!) but also feels like a real loss (re: historical geography) when one of these comes down.
  6. Juvie records are sealed, not to mention ten kids out of who knows how many were arrested. Bigger point stands, it's always "outside agitators" with events like this which is disingenuous. But then again, it's totally possible out of a group of 100 kids absolutely none of them were from Lake, totally wild to think that the sheriff might be covering, my bad.
  7. I think the frustration comes from the sheriff blaming "outside agitators". Whenever something major happens responsibility for it is pushed to the 'other' - "this isn't who we are", "someone from here would never do that", etc. - it's a slight by the sheriff towards surrounding counties while also implying that Lake County is Mayberry. It's a bigger conversation than this event, but at some point society needs to move on from the outside agitator rhetoric.

  9. Working on a project and came across this photo from 1941 (https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p4014coll18/id/4942/rec/2), hope the sign comes back!
  10. Also digging the south florida filter hah now lets pretend those nasty trees of heaven are palms.
  11. Checked the land and it's owned either by ODOT or Cleveland, so that isn't a hangup. The next thing I can think about is limited real estate under 55th in that bathtub area.
  12. Possibly for another forum, but the county is $16M in the hole, good luck in Brook Park w/county funding, Haslams. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/06/sales-tax-revenues-down-sheriff-expenses-up-cuyahoga-bracing-for-16-million-deficit.html
  13. I'm with you @PlanCleveland- I'm always 2.3 seconds away from buying 100 plungers and gluing them to the road overnight to show that no, the bike lane is not a passing lane but you know the city would be out the next day removing them. Funny how they move quickly on some things and glacial pace on others. I don't know how many ppl dying it requires for them to put it first, but we're trending in a very wrong direction right now and there's little sign of it easing up. I was kind of shocked this weekend out and about in OC/D-S how many people were using the sidewalk on their bikes (in spite of certain people in City Hall saying Franklin is one of the safest bike boulevards in the city), it's arguably the safest place to bike in the city, no doubt, but obviously not safe enough...now extrapolate that to areas that don't have the political clout of OC and see how bike/ped improvements are completely non-existent. The process to get a temporary speed table is atrocious (and they only installed ~10 when they had 100) - you need to request a speed sign that records all the info about traffic, it stays up for ~3 days and that's what they base their decisions off of. I'm sorry, but I don't care how many cars fall in the median, if two cars go 70 up my street, that's two cars too many.
  14. I only 'love' this because this is why I'm so vocal about it and upset by the city patting themselves on the back over these. 100 is better than zero, but conditions are terrible out there and it's crazy how slow they seem to be working. I get it, nothing is easy, bureaucracy, cost, etc. etc., but "People Over Cars" is more than putting traffic calming in the hip neighborhoods, or scattershot speed tables here and there. The streets aren't getting any narrower (outside of Ohio City/D-S with recent interventions) so why aren't we installing 1000 variations of these over a summer. I continuously go back to Detroit, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh - similar financial situation and it seems like these speedbumps are on sooo many streets. In the meantime I'll keep white knuckling my bike commute into downtown from OB - W25/Pearl (25 mph) is dreadful at almost all times of the day.
  15. Here's a map of the 100 speed tables going in, definitely leaves something to be desired BUT love to see some of these through streets get limited. https://clevelandgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=0b4e789a00d4449c9e21aac3a9c7cf13
  16. Here's a map of the 100 speed tables going in (in Cleveland): https://clevelandgis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index.html?appid=0b4e789a00d4449c9e21aac3a9c7cf13
  17. Seriously, let them move to BP, save the city from having to spend a ton of money that could go towards better things. If Jimmy wants a palace he can pay for it. It didn't pass when Pittsburgh tried it, but it'd be nice to have a regional stadium authority so that we can pool taxes from all NEO counties instead of sticking the burden on CuyCo residents. Love that folks move out of Cuyahoga because of the high taxes but also expect us to shoulder the burden so they can live it up 10+ weekends out of the year. "The city is so dangerous!!" - Proceeds to have a great time while trashing the muni lot, going to bars, etc. and not getting killed then drives back to Medina and talks about what a s-hole Cleveland is
  18. Having an airport downtown has nothing to do with growth. FlexJet has their HQ at the county airport, there's charter service at Hopkins (and sidenote, sports teams don't typically use Burke anyways). The most use comes from CCF/metro helicopters, news choppers, and is only packed with planes when a national event is going on (I counted ~10 jets for Women's FF). If BKL doesn't close, the closest thing the near east side will have to decent lake access is the CHEERS plan, which, won't really be complete for 30+ years.
  19. That's assuming he actually follows through on any of his plans. The absolute worst case (and very possible) scenario is the city continuing to own/maintain the stadium, being $300+M in the hole AND nothing of public value gets built down there after giving haslam all the land.
  20. Will the pilot be able to land and walk to the rock hall after dropping this?? 👀
  21. Respectfully, it's completely dead around the stadium on non-game days. It'll look like crap if/when the browns leave until demo, but cruise around there now on most days and there's not much to look at.
  22. This is the crowd on opening night this year, I think Wolstein was the wrong venue.
  23. After Gateway issues and ongoing Browns issues I don't like the idea of any more publicly owned stadiums, let the soccer group own and manage it.
  24. Depends on the real estate agent 😉 Here's the Cleveland SPA map, the boundary between OC and CF are the RR tracks... https://data.clevelandohio.gov/datasets/ClevelandGIS::cleveland-neighborhoods/explore
