  1. I bet the Hilton is completed before this is done.

    I believe the Community Development money goes through the Community Development Corporations.

    Frank Jackson has a Master's Degree and a Law Degree.
  4. Mt Sinai on East 105th closed since the 80s. I think it was in the late 90s.
  5. George Forbes thinks that Cleveland and E. Cleveland should merge. I think it may be a good idea, http://www.cleveland.com/cityhall/index.ssf/2013/11/former_cleveland_city_council.html#incart_river_default http://www.cleveland.com/datacentral/index.ssf/2013/11/east_cleveland_would_add_17000.html
  6. I am not sure why RTA doesn't copy other larger transit agencies when taking on certain projects. The vending fiasco could have been avoided by seeing how other agencies do this. The real time information software is the same issue. There must be a reason that no other large agency is using the software.
  7. I am hoping that RTA uses open data. It seems that this would be ideal and create the best possible real time system. This link explains it better than I can. http://www.streetfilms.org/a-case-for-open-data-in-transit/
  8. I grew up in Mayfield Heights and I always loved Ferrara's dipped subs.
  9. While riding past the 1900 Lofts on the Healthline I noticed workers getting ready to install a sign for 1900 Food and Beverage. Not sure if it will be a supermarket as advertised or more of a bodega.
  10. It really is frustrating to when the Healthline stops at traffic lights especially when there is no cross traffic. This happens a lot at E6 and E4. The worst stop being E9 due to the length of the red light. Overall the Healthline is a pleasant ride but whoever is in charge of traffic better get their act together. This system should already be in operation.
  11. I'm thinking that storefront is going to be part of the Bodies Exhibit.
  12. Sounds llike good news for the Campus International School, I am excited about the potential impact of this school. High hopes for new Cleveland public school at CSU; closed church rented By Janet Okoben May 13, 2010, 9:45PM CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The new Campus International School at Cleveland State University was officially launched Thursday with ambitions as long as the school's name. CSU President Ronald Berkman and Cleveland schools CEO Eugene Sanders said the school, which opens in August with kindergarten through second grade, will bring many low-income students closer to a college campus than perhaps they would have come otherwise. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2010/05/high_hopes_for_the_new_clevela.html
  13. I did not like the idea of this project at first but i have changed my opinion. I think it would be great if the boulevard was built already and it would be a great location for the "Health Tech" Corridor as opposed to Euclid Avenue. I think a connection from I77 to UC is needed as well. Just my opinion.
  14. Looks like at least 2013..... http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2010/04/cleveland_casino_opening_pushe.html

    From Scene: $500,000 grant pulled from Towpath.... http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2010/04/27/the-towpaths-trail-of-broken-promises-continues-500000-grant-pulled
  16. Cleveland partners unveil plans for a Health-Tech Corridor along Euclid Avenue http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/04/cleveland_partners_unveil_plan.html Intersting info in the article: "Evidence of demand is the Euclid Tech Center, a $25 million, 150,000-square-foot project to be built speculatively, without tenants in hand, at Euclid and East 69th Street."
  17. Resource Real Estate files to foreclose on Bingham apartments in Cleveland's Warehouse http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2010/04/resource_real_estate_files_to.html
  18. I believe that Sainato's is right there if I am thinking of the right area. I like the idea of recreation uses in the Flats. The Towpath can't come fast enough.

    The Cleveland Browns in 1964.
  22. When I read the PD article this morning it seemed as if they got the scoop from here. Anyway I am on Euclid a lot and haven't noticed the road falling apart. Can anyone shed some light on how bad it really is? Also, does anyone know if its normal for concrete to break apart around the seem due to the freeze thaw cycle?
  23. I would also love to see BRT service on Detroit rather than Clifton. However Clifton is wider and can more easily accommodate it. I am not sure if Detroit is wide enough to provide BRT service. If Clifton BRT becomes a reality I'd like to see it integrated with the Healthline and create one seat ride to University Circle.
  24. Check out this cool article from Next American City Magazine. It praises Cleveland and especially the Garden Boys. It's good to see some positive press about Cleveland. http://americancity.org/magazine/article/clevelands-comeback/
  25. I thought about that too. I would hope that BRT service on Clifton would also include increased frequency and regular weekend service. Otherwise it would make more sense to run BRT on Detroit if it is wide enough.
