From the News Hearal: Organizational evaluation of Euclid PD completed following several incidentsA recently completed organizational evaluation has shed some light on controversial issues faced by the Euclid Police Department. The comprehensive, 90-page report was finalized on Friday. It touches on a wide range of issues, including allegations that secret video cameras — disguised as pencil sharpeners — were placed throughout the police station to eavesdrop on officers, who at times may have been discussing union negotiations. The report also touches on possible wrongdoing in the department’s property room that may have played a role in the April 20 suicide of Sgt. Kevin Blakeley, who was being questioned by investigators regarding his role in the matter when he produced a weapon and shot himself, according to a previous report from the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office. The evaluation was conducted and prepared by the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. Led by Newark Police Chief Steven J. Sarver and Vandalia Police Chief Douglas Knight, the evaluation involved on-site visits with city officials, including the mayor; on-site interviews with members of the police department; meetings and email exchanges with city council members and FOP members; and the review of various departmental documents. The report includes a thorough analysis of departmental practices and procedures, from organizational effectiveness and field operations to disciplinary processes and labor management relations. Regarding almost every issue, the OACP made recommendations regarding what steps should be taken by the department.

In regards to the City of Euclid, you are correct about the large employment centers... not so much on Euclid Avenue. It's mostly housing and retail... and the later is fleeing to Euclid's downtown district in droves.

Interesting that you ran so slowly. Maybe it was ahead of schedule

The wind towers are near the I90 split. The smaller of the two is about 150', just a few feet higher than the Science Center tower. The second one is more than twice that at 320'. The LE tower is about 450'. Here is a graphic from the PD/Cleveland.com for further reference:

That's how I took it. Simply an illustration that almost everyone can relate to

I was thinking the same thing. Although a large portion of it is only four lanes. The west edge of EC gets a little tight near the RR bridge.

Saw this on FB - found it rather interesting (yet simple) in how it explained US Debt. Discuss

Bahahahaha

A couple of shots of the Sopko/Stamco wind towers currently under (very slow) construction:

No updates here yet: http://www.enhanceclifton.com/

Has anyone had a chance to see this time lapse of the construction of the LE Wind tower? http://www.workzonecam.com/clients/common/timelapse.php?info=JmM9bGluY29sbmVsZWN0cmljJnA9Y2FtZXJhcyZzPWNhbWVyYTE=

Damn, two weeks to go.

Agreed, Pat. KJP, could you update that illustration to show where the existing park and Ride on St. Clair in Euclid is?

If I were, it would be a NO. With a note on the ballot to Schneider to concentrate on filling in the properties he already owns instead of creating more glut.... but that's just me.

We (Euclid) are about to begin our own Euclid Ave Corridor study with NOACA (TLCI Grant). Maybe this is part of it... will find out more.

Speaking of store closings - looks like NEO is good in this round: Lowe’s to Close 20 U.S. Stores, Slow North American Openings Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Lowe’s Cos., the second-largest U.S. home-improvement retailer, will close 20 U.S. stores, affecting 1,950 workers, and plans to slow its North American expansion next year as it works to improve sales. Half of the locations closed at the end of business yesterday, and the remaining 10 will be shut within about a month, Mooresville, North Carolina-based Lowe’s said today in a statement. The closings will reduce earnings by about 17 cents to 20 cents a share, the company said. http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-10-17/lowe-s-to-close-20-u-s-stores-slow-north-american-openings.html
