I wasn't able to attend, but it was apparently just a lot of people angry about parking. Need parking for all the residents. Extra parking for if they have guests. Tear down the historic duplexes next door for more parking. Even though most of the tenants would probably be students walking to class. Even though street parking is easily found in the surrounding streets. Even though TOD zoning applies to its location near transit. So pretty much a typical community meeting lol

Going to be late, but I should be able to make it. Very busy week, so wasn't really sure until now.

Alpha Apartments' new building at 2185 Cornell Rd next to the Baricelli Apartments. It'll add 14 much needed apartments to Little Italy (11 2-beds and 3 3-beds). A few more minor changes are planned before the next Landmarks Meeting. There's been some positive feedback as the plan has been refined, but there are still plenty of Little Italy NIMBYs who oppose any new apartments. I work in a company related to Alpha Apartments, and they're currently looking for more support for the project. If anyone around Little Italy or University Circle is able to, it'd be really appreciated it if you could take a few minutes and send an email of support to Landmarks ([email protected]). Thanks!

I'll be a bit late but I'll be there!

Not currently. It's only office space except for the cider brewery in the basement run by the current owner. Most of the office tenants are lawyers, and only a few want to stay if the building sells.

Not surprising if true. CWRU has taken a lot of 18 month leases on other apartments in Little Italy since they currently have a shortage of dorms.

The buildings themselves look genuinely great. And it's exciting to see Midtown growing a residential base. But absolutely agree with @Mendo, that frontage could be so much better.

YouGov surveys pay you for completion. The faster you fill it out, the faster you get money. People often do this by just selecting 50% as the default number. Notice how numbers added up don't make sense and how everything skews towards the middle.

Clinton Ave Townhomes is live on coUrbanize. 7 for-sale units at 4211 Clinton Ave. courbanize.com/projects/clintontownhomes It should be noted that the renderings online don't seem to match the new description and site plan (3 SFH on Clinton and 4 townhomes on Vine).

I think the new design looks nicer. I also like the digital RTA travel board in the lobby. Looks like the kind of thing we should be putting up at bus and rapid stations. Here are the plans: https://assets.adobe.com/public/45d23a2c-0d9b-4658-591f-9537656e0574/Far West/20220816_Design Review-reduced.pdf The only thing I think would be a bit nicer is making the two buildings look distinct from one another.

Good read from Crain's about Opportunity Zone developments: https://www.crainscleveland.com/real-estate/more-opportunity-zone-developers-bet-clevelands-east-side Two points on the map really stuck out to me. I don't think I've heard anything else about these plans before now: 3210 Franklin Blvd - TDGOZ II LLC (Neil Viny) acquired this vacant land across from the planned Franklin Yards renovation. Plans call for a multi-story apartment building. 808 College Ave - TDGOS II LLC acquired a small apartment building and vacant land. Plans call for razing the apartments and constructing a mixed-use building.

Oh ya that's my bad. I thought they were referring to the other excavation photo infrafreak posted above on Willey Ave. Too much stuff to talk about is never a problem lol
