RustbeltRevived

Sorry I definitely was wrong, I thought they were replacing City View and asked why they didn't put it where the article proposed the jail. I am surprised it took this long to develop that part of 98th and Granger. I went back and read the article with my eyes more open.

City View Center used to kill me when I lived in Garfield Heights. Why didn't they develop on the opposite side of I480 where what appears like a whole neighborhood was razed? If anyone knows what was there (I think it is 98th and Granger) please educate me.

It isn't whether the bus service is passable or not, rather, is that the most efficient to reach the economic throughput to support the locals. Dense areas in the East deserve quality local rail access. I love your recommendation shared though! If we both love your concept, do we have levers that we could pull to make it happen? I've read some of the ridership studies and recommendations GCRTA has produced in the past that have positive feedback for rail extensions. One of them for an extension past Windermere Stokes to connect to the Lake County border that was released over half a decade ago. We are nowhere closer to that extension than before the study was done.

Do we think there are any achievable actions toward encouraging our revival that Cleveland could take? It is great to see dense residential constructed in the West side, but tax incentives have not mitigated disinvestment on the East side. We could ban diesel freight traffic within city limits, to encourage rail electrification. Not to mention the jobs generated to execute this project. Hell I'd like to legislate away all tax incentives to publicly traded companies within city limits.
