The latest on the College of Education: The Cleveland Stater And some images from me.

:-D

I know who the woman who called in is... she is very close to me. :wink:

I do not think this should go here, but I do not want to start another thread on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Cleveland Business News:

Yeah, yeah. Be Careful... Pope.

That's what I get for too much multi tasking. OU Photoshop Lunch Answering phones. Email blah, blah

To think you risked getting hit by a car just to provide us this visual treat. Thanks - you're the best HBIC in the world. :-D

So, did you have your camera ready to take a snapshot?

Especially with her hands half way in the air... sort of like she just don't care.

Not teasing this time. Just saying. When the Student Center bookstore opens in 2010 there will likely be many more residents living in the greater downtown area. Thus justifying the market for bookstores. I would say yes. Big meeting today about CT. Hopefully I will have some news that is share-able. Otherwise, then I will tease.

A lot can happen in the next three years.

Their logo is there. But still a let down. As the missing MTC would say... write a letter. (Where is he anyway?)

I love Lamp - here I come.

King Jackson continues to conquer the region. :-) pd:

This sounds fine to me except for the additional retail component - because we all know about the over saturation of retail in the region. At least they are re-working existing development. As opposed to creating a new development on greenspace. This has the potential to be a good thing for Solon.

All of this beer talk is great, but what the city really needs is a vodka tasting room.

Indeed! No. Federal regulations prohibit any civilian access. That is why the golf course proposal died. Besides, the ground is so unstable there (this includes all of the areas to the northeast), it is completely unsafe for users. Vehicular traffic occasional gets stuck on the grassy areas of the runways - imagine if one accidentally went into the NE area. The office and housing elements would be marketed primarily to the traveling business set. It would be its own neighborhood where a person could live in the city without the need of a car. Other businesses closer to the ferry terminal (to the west) would actually be more suited to tourism. We envisioned this as a great place to have dinner while watching the ferry come in and out. At the same time we were careful to create the view corridors so users could also enjoy the views of the lake and air traffic.

KJP, I knew you would be the first and I know you will. :-D

Yes! Don't know.

Here you go: http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php?topic=14198.msg222133#msg222133 Because there are so many images, i created its own thread.

Earlier this year, me and two partners from KSU worked on a conceptual study of what to do with Burke Lakefront Airport. We did a thorough, though not exhaustive, look at the current conditions at Burke, including current soil conditions, flight paths, wishes of the director, the City's Waterfront Plan, existing and proposed transportation infrastructure, plant life, and others. What follows is the result of our collaboration. REMEMBER - SCROLL >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We developed a boundary that we called Greater Downtown. I compiled all of the major planning projects as of Fall 2006. This include the Waterfront Plan, the Innerbelt reconstruction, CSU, Flats (east and west), Ohio City, Avenue District and many others. In order to make all the plans equal visually, I eliminated the details of each plan and gave each plan its own color. To better understand the time frame involved, the plans were broken down into time frames. Green representing near term -> Dark Blue -> Red -> Light Blue The Waterfront Plan was advertised as a "50 Year Plan" - thus the Long Term identifier. One of the KSU students analyzed the size of the airport spatially with large, random land uses. We wanted to see if, concluding Burke should close/move, where could it be relocated and what should replace it. Oner of the sites we first identified as a place Burke could move to was Randal Park Mall and Thistledown Race Track (assuming the race track would want to relocate). That idea was quickly eliminated. One thing we found that was interesting was the size of the Burke footprint in comparison to Central Park in NYC and Ceder Point. Analysis looked at mass transportation relatively close to Burke. (RTA, Megabus, Greyhound) As well as traditional road infrastructure. We asked the question "Is Cleveland a 'shrinking city' or a growing region? How do we plan locally to regional changes? It was here we determined Burke should act as a regional Transportation Hub. Although not part of the original study, we added an expansion of the Waterfront Line as part of the Innerbelt Project that would create a loop for Greater Downtown. A site plan (w/landscaping) soon developed. Highlights include: moving Burke Terminal east; moving the proposed ferry terminal from west of Municipal Stadium to the current approximate Burke Parking Lot location; down grading and reconfiguring the shoreway into a boulevard; reconnecting the city street grid north via East 14th and 18th Streets;moving/relocating Greyhound, Amtrak, Megabus, to the site; add infrastructure for the Ohio Hub Rail Line and Lorain/Cleveland Rail Line; cap portions of the existing rail line (where air rights can be obtained) to create a pedestrian greenspace connection; retail, residential and commercial space; and sufficient parking for the entire project. The spaces on Burke currently being filled would be kept as greenspace. Some trees could be grown (a type of tree unfriendly to birds was identified, but I cannot remember the name). There is currently a giant north arrow on top of Aviation High School. We thought a nice element would be to create a large landscaped North Arrow on the far northeast corner of the site. Careful consideration of types of plants was researched in order not to create aviation hazards. Also considered: remediation factors and aesthetics. A closer view of the site plan. In this drawing, south is up (sorry). Complete site plan poster Sections Landscape plan Intermodal Center Diagram Due to conversations with the director, the need for hotel and conference space was determined to a crucial part of the development. Intermodal Center view - Level 2 The remainder of the pictures are from the Sketchup Study. We took careful consideration of site lines, view corridors and the sun. Missing: the land use diagram. This shows were the different proposed land uses are located. When I find it, I will, post. A 3D modal was made also, but I have no pictures of it.

First I heard of the Kenston project. The kitchen (or catering) project is need once we close University Center.
