Slightly off topic... kinda... The Bright Future of the Pedestrian Bridge Top engineer Ted Zoli says the era of shared-use structures has arrived. A decade ago, it was unusual to design a bridge with space for pedestrians or cyclists, says Ted Zoli, National Bridge Chief Engineer for the architecture and civil engineering firm HNTB. Today it's unusual not to give these modes space—or, in some cases, the entire structure. Even bridges that seem primarily suited for vehicle traffic must include what Zoli calls, in the parlance of engineers, "shared-use path facilities"; the new Tappan Zee Bridge will have one, he points out, as will a bridge HNTB is designing on I-95. "Now every major project I'm working on has a shared-use path—a bicycle- or pedestrian-defined path—integrated into the design," says Zoli. "I would say the future of pedestrian bridges is significant in the practice of bridge design in urban areas." http://www.citylab.com/design/2015/01/the-bright-future-of-the-pedestrian-bridge/385016/

Greater Cleve RTA @GCRTA · 16m 16 minutes ago @clevoplanner The square is not scheduled to close on 2/1. As soon the date is official, we will post all reroutes on http://bit.ly/189jINd

There were several work vehicles of some sort (they had the flashing yellow lights on top) parked along the area around Mr. Moses and the fountain last night. It's about that time. :D

^stupid birds Not sure why other towers can light up, but not that one. Perhaps if they downlit? Lighting would be very important to this project as well. Driving north on Ontario the other day, I could not help but recall a comment by (possibly) by Dan Gilbert about how he wants to make the intersection of Ontario and Huron Cleveland's version of Times Square. Yeah, I can totally see that happening now.

https://twitter.com/indians BREAKING: Melt Bar & Grilled, Barrio and Sweet Moses will serve up their food at Progressive Field in 2015! Indians unveil plans for new concessions One of the goals behind the ongoing renovation project at Progressive Field was to find ways to introduce elements of Cleveland neighborhoods within the ballpark. The Indians felt one way to do that was to bring some of the area's popular restaurants into the fold. On Wednesday, Cleveland unveiled its new concessions plans for the revamped neighborhood-themed Right Field District. Melt Bar and Grilled, Barrio and Sweet Moses -- three well-known and highly-rated area eateries -- will be coming to Progressive Field and offering unique food options for the upcoming season. "The addition of local brands like Melt, Barrio and Sweet Moses to one of pro sports' gems, Progressive Field," Indians vice president of concessions Kurt Schloss said in a release, "offers even more fan-friendly options at the ballpark." http://m.indians.mlb.com/news/article/107022168/indians-unveil-plans-for-new-concessions

Big blank wall it is:

Euclid to Net Big Gains in Dining Scene Thanks to Ambitious New Project For a city the size of Euclid, with close to 50,000 residents, the community is woefully underserved by great independent restaurants. Other than a handful of small, popular spots like Beach Club Bistro and Paragon Wine Bar, the sprawling municipality just east of Cleveland is a culinary wasteland. Going a long way toward righting that wrong will be Great Scott Tavern, a multi-million dollar project two years in the making. When it opens in April, the 7,500-square-foot bar and restaurant will accommodate 180 diners indoors, with room for another 150 outside. If you live in the area, chances are good that you’ve driven by the attractive two-story brick building (21801 Lakeshore Blvd.) and watched as the building was systematically gutted and rebuilt. Originally a post office, the 70-year-old building had been chopped up over the years into multiple rental spaces. The owners have spent the last 24 months – and a few buckets of cash – unifying the space to ready it for this restaurant. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2015/01/15/euclid-to-net-big-gains-in-dining-scene-thanks-to-ambitious-new-project

Something at the Bluestone industrial park, perhaps? Or is Euclid Square Mall going to finally be demolished for something productive?? :) Well, there are currently two new business located in a brand new building less than a year old already at Bluestone And, the 20+ churches and handful of retail currently in the mall do pay rent

Cardale Jones has decided to return to the Ohio State Buckeyes, foregoing the NFL draft

More good news coming soon on the manufacturing front

Yes, same owner. He has several franchise locations including the one near Home Depot on East 200th Street.

Ahhh, the old Swingo's: Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Yul Brenner.... soooo many other rock icons - they all stayed and partied there. "The world's most rock'n'roll hotels" "Rock 'n' Roll Hotels for a New Generation" There's supposed to be a documentary in the works about that place: "River Valley Films producing documentary on Cleveland's famed Swingos hotel" Yeah... my vote is to leave it right where it is at (with some fixing up, of course)

Agreed. I think the people that frequent Chili Peppers will stay dedicated to them. Chipotle will most likely take business from the other fast food places and workers at city hall because of the convenience :) Incidentally, there was one voice of dissent at Tuesday night's P&Z meeting. The owner of Subway located in the same shopping center. His stated concerns included a stress on already hard to find parking (there is a net loss of 5 parking spaces and the variance was approved), lack of safety for employees if they are required to park behind the building, and concerns about not being able to be seen from the street due to the height of the building. An additional height variance was approved as well permitting the building to be 18' 8" high where 26' are required.... yes, shorter. Since the current outdated pole sign will have to go away, two new monument signs - one at the Babbitt entrance and one at the Lake Shore entrance - will take its place, doubling the space given for tenants to place their sign.

Thank you for keeping this thread updated. It is greatly appreciated... by me, at least :)

Not super big news in the grand scheme of things... but the Euclidians are pretty excited: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: January 13, 2015 Contact: Lisa Mayernik (216) 289-2786 [email protected] New Chipotle Mexican Grill Restaurant Proposed for Downtown Euclid Mayor Bill Cervenik is pleased to announce Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. and Carter Properties are proposing to bring a new Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant to the City of Euclid in 2015. The proposal calls for the construction of a new, 2,400 sq. ft. free-standing building on Lakeshore Blvd at Shore Center Shopping Center. The project will be presented tonight, January 13th, 2015 to the City of Euclid Planning and Zoning Commission. According to Mayor Cervenik, the new restaurant will bring more than just great burritos to Euclid’s Downtown. “The new Chipotle will have a modern design and outdoor patio that are sure to attract existing residents and visitors alike to our central business district.” As part of the project, Carter Properties will make improvements to the existing Shore Center Shopping Center, including upgraded signage and landscaping at the 65,980 sq ft plaza. Shore Center currently features a variety of national retail tenants including Aldi’s, Payless Shoes, Subway, Sherwin Williams, and Dunkin Donuts. Review of the proposal by the City’s Architectural Review Board will take place on January 22nd, 2015. Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2015. The proposal follows an exciting trend for Downtown Euclid, according to Planning and Development Director Jonathan Holody. “Increasingly, people are coming to Downtown Euclid to enjoy dining and entertainment” said Holody. A new restaurant named “Great Scott Tavern” is slated to open at E. 219th Street and Lakeshore Boulevard in the spring; the Irish American Club has added an outdoor patio in front of its building at 22770 Lakeshore Blvd; and Atlas Cinemas and Shore Cultural Center provide an opportunity to see great shows throughout the year. “With everything happening, you will really be able to make a night out of your visit to Downtown Euclid” says Holody.

That was a good choice. The current version looks much better than the originally proposed version (imo).

No cable TV for us, so I won't be watching. I'll follow the scores online. I actually predict an OSU loss. Maybe 42 to 24. I think it will be a one posession game through the half at which Oregon will take over from there. I'm sure you can find an online feed if you look around. Oh yes... I most certainly did.

Quick question: when did the main broadcast networks stop showing so many bowl games? I do not understand why they have been on ESPN only

I could care less who gets by pulled over by whichever law enforcement agency in any city. You break the law, you get cited. If you don't like it, stop breaking the law or go elsewhere..... ... or change the law. The End. Back on topic.

Finally!!! So sick of seeing cars blatantly ignoring the signs. One would think CPD would take advantage of this to make up for the loss revenues from the traffic cameras.

^ Are there any renderings available?

Sounds defeatist to me. If you don't like something, change it... make it happen. Nothing has to be demolished either. Ground floor garages can be converted to usuable retail space.
