Cleveland: Ohio City: Irishtown Bend Park
Us old folks remember the 10 years (?) or so after the 1996 Bicentennial when EVERY bridge in the Flats was lit up. And so was I.... A great time to be alive!

Cleveland: Downtown: Huntington Bank Field
This is typically paid for by the Browns, or other tenant of the stadium on an event day. Agreed though-the admissions tax could go to help cover other gaps.

That just amazes me.

Cleveland: Opportunity Corridor Boulevard
I don't know the official "press release" answer but we all know ODOT wanted a freeway, and this was as close as they could come. ' It has worked well, as I often drive it at 40-45 and get passed by people doing 70.

Cleveland: Crime & Safety Discussion
Not sure this is a crime or not just yet, as it's labeled a cyber "incident." I did see something on Twitter about 911 dispatch having issues today as well. For some reason Erieview Tower is also mentioned. At any rate, City employees probably won't mind a day off.. Cleveland City Hall closed Monday due to 'cyber incident,' city says Cleveland City Hall and Erieview Tower will be closed on Monday due to a "cyber incident," according to an email received from the City of Cleveland. Affected systems have been shut off and will remain off until the city better understands the incident, the City of Cleveland said in the email. https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/cleveland-city-hall-erieview-tower-closed-monday-due-to-cyber-incident-city-says

Another Dumb-a$$ List / Ranking of Cities
Wondering what this will do in the next election. Hopefully enough blue votes to tip the scales.

Cleveland: Tremont: Development and News
I was thinking the same. As a child on the way to Hopkins to drop/pick up my dad, I always stared in wonderment as we drove by. We didn't have such things in Willoughby...

Unfortunate name on a guy stuck in an unfortunate city of Cleveland proceeding...

Cleveland: Lakefront Development and News
Hopkins definitely has capacity, with two runways 24/6 L&R allowing simultaneous ops. This was by design when Continental had the mini hub here. The third runway 10/28 is rarely used. In my 30+ years of flying CLE, I've only landed on it once, and that was in a Q200 turboprop on Air Canada from YYZ.

Cleveland: Lakefront Development and News
County already tried to extend a runway and expand capacity and the NIMBY's in Willoughby Hills and Richmond Heights went insane. Advantage BKL. It has lots of detractors, but relatively few NIMBYs.

Cleveland: Downtown: Huntington Bank Field
I don't think it necessarily needs to be acres of open land. The Buffalo Bills practice in an indoor fieldhouse right outside their stadium--and also use the actual stadium if needed. That to me is a win win as the stadium sits unused most of the year, why not use it for practices as well.

Cleveland: Historic Photos
LOVE the Public Square footage. Throngs of people, streetcars, buses and cars...without a bollard or jersey barrier in site!
-
Cleveland: Downtown: Huntington Bank Field
Which is why i think the city, county and state leadership need to dangle the carrot. Jimmy if you want public money on the lakefront, then we get a hand in the design, and you're moving all your Browns operations downtown (offices, practice facilities, etc).

Cleveland: Lakefront Development and News
it is very much so. I've mentioned this before upthread, but we should be looking at the Burke Lakefront of the future, not of today. When Burke was built, Cleveland was a top city for vision in aviation. The air races were here. Some manufacturing was here. The future looked bright! Fast forward to today and BKL has fallen on hard times. But..very soon air taxis, ubers and other personal forms of air transport are about to take to the skies. Small electric drones capable of carrying people are already in testing. And one thing is sure--the FAA won't let these things anywhere near a fully functioning class B airport. But a reliever airport like BKL, close to the CBD, is a perfect place to test this technology. IMO the best thing we could do is get rid of the City of Cleveland managing both airports. They are not great landlords. They have no vision. They are super slow to react. If we want to be visionary leaders again, we need to get rid of the leaders who lack vision.

Cleveland: Downtown: Huntington Bank Field
I certainly do. If you take a multi-billion dollar NFL organization out of the equation, the politicians with the purse strings will suddenly lose interest. There is no capital for righting the wrongs of Cleveland's lakefront of the last 100 years.

Are you Cleveland-based? I have a good one here he's been in the market for 15+ years. If interested DM me I'll share his contact.

Greater Cleveland RTA News & Discussion
There is already some single-tracking going on the Redline east of Tower City. 30 minute intervals to Windemere. Though this is better than shutting it down entirely.

Cleveland: Cleveland State University: Development and News
Very sad. Moving from a perfectly good arena that is well maintained by CSU, to an amazing historic venue that is just barely maintained by the City of Cleveland.

Cleveland: Cudell / West Boulevard / Edgewater: Development and News
The site clearing on this is now well underway as they have torn down the garage on the old house and also starting excavation on the vacant lot next to it.

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport
Definitely a TSA issue, but it would help if the city of Cleveland were pro-active and figured out some way to make the queues make sense. Part of the problem is people who are not TSA pre getting in that line, and vice versa. It's well marked--if you are right at the entrance. But if the line stretches through the ticketing lobby, chaos ensues. Maybe they could form lines up through the bridge over to the short term parking garage?
