SCHEDULE: Construction is currently on schedule. 1) Caissons will be complete by mid‐June. a) A total of 3,900 CY and 330 tons of reinforcing steel are anticipated at completion. 2) Sheeting the site to stabilize the site and excavation to haul out unneeded soil is slated to start in June. a) 10,000 CY of soil are expected to be hauled out to various fill sites. 3) Concrete foundation work will start in June. a) 8,300 CY of concrete and 800 tons of reinforcing steel are anticipated for the foundations. b) All structural concrete work for the entire project is scheduled to be completed summer of 2015. 4) Structural steel mill order has been placed for approximately 800 tons of steel. a)Steel erection is slated to begin in September. DESIGN: Design team is working through finalizing the design for construction permitting

Oh well...something like that. Best I could do on my trusty 3+ yr old moto zoom.

Saw this on REED. It's the most recent activity I can find. Look's like it's in design phase.

Oh...here's the new sign.

:-D

^Yes I hope it's that one, which was one of the three designs for the bridge. But over at the RosalesPartner's site they show one of the other designs on their projects page. Regarding the operators building, I am not sure where I saw it but there will be a space inside of that wonderful Paul Volpe inspired 'study in crappy architecture' outhouse that is pictured in the NorthCoastHarbor thread. Which is part of their reasoning that the building is positioned where it is so the bridge operator has a clear view. The bridge is supposedly fully funded and shows a 2015 completion date.

I hadn't seen these yet. They are a lot more detailed as far as the lower podium is concerned. All in all I'm happy with it.

So he's still getting paid by the Lakers and now the Cavs? That's a good life.

Multiple sources, Mike Brown out as HC.

Apparently there was another proposal from a landscape architect that would have placed the 'amenities building' further away from the RH as I suggested previously but the city rejected it. An article from Steve Litt questions it's placement, also some info about the proposed bridge that has yet to start construction even though funding has been secured. http://www.cleveland.com/architecture/index.ssf/2014/01/will_the_new_north_coast_harbo.html

The sign looks homemade. With all of the work PHS square put into the recent overhaul you would think they would be involved with any signage. They need to come up with a design standard for any future signs or streetscape improvement that would mesh with the recent renovation.

Well I was hoping for better with the boathouse or outhouse(aka public restrooms). Haven't seen it in person yet so maybe it looks better live. Seems an odd placement for it, further away from the RH maybe closer to Voinivich Park would have been better. The render for the building looks different as far as the color of it. Looks tacky in the photo.

This was the graphic with the article.

I thought the great and powerful FCE was considering a residential conversion at one point.

Anybody got Carlton Mitchell's phone # ?

Anything else on that chart that we don't know about?

Cuyahoga County releases updates on the Hilton project. This is the latest one from 4/23, hopefully they will be more up to date as things get rolling. But some good info nonetheless. April 23, 2014 CONSTRUCTION: Demolition is 100% complete. • 11,358 cy of non-metal demolition was recycled • 8 cy of non-metal demolition debris was not recycled • 1395 tons of metals were recycled Caisson drilling began on April 7, 2014. • 29 caissons will be drilled by completion. Five have been completed to date. • Each caisson depth is 180’, and roughly 24-30 feet from one another • eight different size casing, ranging from 3’ to 7’- 6” in diameter • 75 – 300 cy of concrete each The drilling operation consists of two drilling rigs and two assist cranes. Three Manitowoc tube lattice cranes with 200 foot booms will set the permanent sleeves, which are anywhere from 70 – 90’ long. SCHEDULE: The caissons crews will be working six days a week in order to meet the current construction schedule. Currently, there are 79 people working onsite. DESIGN: Final design development drawings were turned over by the design architect to the construction team on Monday, April 7, 2014. At that time, the construction design team took over the design in order to further develop the drawings for permit submission and construction

@RR-Just wondering if you could keep your bike at work somehow. There could be a place you could keep it 24/7. That would solve most of your problem. idk just a thought...

Some kind of movie promotional event happening at TowerCity today that drew people from all over. Don't know much about it but it's cool when TowerCity is used for events, it's such a great space. Read more about it here: http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2014/05/john_green_superstar_and_autho.html#incart_river_default

I would take a QB with my very first pick! That is my very first pick in the 3rd round. I would use the first two rounds to draft the best available talent. It's said to be a deep draft so there should be 'difference makers' available.

For what you want to pay and how much you will use it, It won't matter as much if it's a mountain bike. You can always change out the rubber if you need . Also being steel and a mountain bike It will be heavier to lift but to put it up on hooks you just get one of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/bicycle-lift-95803.html

You see this one at Dicks? http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=29747976&lmdn=Frame+Material&cp=4406646.4413986.4417717.4418012.12458051

^ yeah Idk but those photos look like screenshots from a Nortons Furniture commercial...

^Wow how did you get pictures of my uncle's basement from 1972...From these photos and some others I have seen of the interior they are definitely going for a specific kind of look. What that is I have no idea...

Just a cool photo from EdgewaterPark that I found online.
