Since we all love some news about the Georges. https://www.cleveland.com/business/2023/02/crosscountry-mortgage-related-company-buys-downtown-property-from-bobby-and-tony-george.html

Of course they would have some negative say in all of this. Can't have anything nice with them.

They actually want to ban center bike lanes in cities over 300k. Absolutely ridiculous. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/02/ohio-lawmakers-seek-1-billion-for-rural-highways-propose-ban-on-center-bike-lanes-and-county-traffic-camera-programs.html

Go to Cleveland city planning commission on YouTube. Yesterday's meeting. It starts at 1hr 56min.

I understand that the bridge is not apart of this megaproject. The problem I see is that it is not a part of any project. There are many big plans surrounding it that having it connect them should be important. With Huron being cut and Canal probably being banned to commercial vehicles another route is of importance. I would just hope the city and county could see this and come up with a plan to get it up and running again.

Exactly. There are so many projects right next to each other and you have to loop around to get to them. It would be such a connector between them. It wouldn't be cheap though. I read the, I believe new Columbus span was $24 million. This would need a new span and possibly new east bank tower to flatten it out.

I feel like the Eagle Ave bridge is overlooked in all this. A route from W 3rd/Eagle ave intersection to the Carter bridge would be huge. If they were to get rid of Canal as suggested would make this vital.
