I have been worried that there is an over supply of rooms. Maybe, the older inventory will get converted to another use and we end up with the right number of newer hotel rooms.

^There are more people on Public Square than anyplace else on planet earth. Period! #alternativefacts

I've met Johnson and worked with him on a project. I know he has a checkered past but I think he is a bright and capable guy. I may not agree with all of his ideas but I think he would make a fine mayor.

The fact that the city has $12M to throw away for this is ridiculous. Riding RTA around the perimeter has become a serious PITA. This is typical for Cleveland to design something and then not use it the way it is designed. I cannot understand why Mayor Frank "least of thee" Jackson is unconcerned with those riding transit.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or the Public Square thread: FTA wants its $12 million back "The FTA details how it first warned the RTA on August 10th that the continued closure would constitute a breach. It then documents how it sent another letter on October 12th to restate that very point. Yet on November 16th, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and RTA Manager Joe Calabrese announced in a joint press conference that the square would stay closed." http://www.wkyc.com/news/local/cleveland/feds-order-rta-to-pay-back-12m-in-30-days/380370221

^correlation =/= causality

MidTown Tech Park was built as a spec building as is Link59.

The comment section is a disaster as I assumed it would be.

I took the Rapid downtown this morning for Winterfest with out of town relatives. Having to figure out where the shuttle bus was when we went home was a hassle. RTA needs to up their game.

The routing around the square is an idiotic idea. Once again Cleveland half-asses something.

^ BOO

NextCity discusses a Cleveland and East Cleveland merger. https://nextcity.org/features/view/east-cleveland-suburb-annex-city-council

I was under the impression that the accreditation required has already been removed.

nothing really wrong with the neighborhood heading west either. I ride my bike there often too. From West Blvd east to Gordon Square I agree.

I often transfer there from red line to 26 at night when coming home from UC.

there is nothing wrong with the west blvd. stop. i use it all the time.

It looks to be official. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2016/06/29/a-chick-fil-a-is-opening-in-the-galleria-next-week

Good thing it wasn't demolished.....

If the Mill Taverne on Wilson Mills is still around, you can get a good burger there. I remember Scalper's serving a pretty good burger too.

hmmmm K& D Buying Terminal Tower http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2016/05/kd_group_strikes_deal_to_buy_t.html#incart_river_home

Maybe the Rockefeller Building?

Treated cash like cash - I like the way you phrase that. :-D

Speaking of poorly designed transit maps, the Downtown bus shelter transit maps are a disaster. The trolley line and CSU line use different shades of green and blue and they get easily confused each other and the blue and green line. I don't understand why different colors weren't used on the map.

I think a blended system would be great maybe 6 wards and 5 at-large. That way you have some members who are familiar with and look after needs of a neighborhood and others members looking out for the city as a whole.

Or maybe a campus at the Geis proposed development in the Burke parking lot. Although a Flats location might make sense considering their lab there.
