Yes fully closed for 1 week to bring and assembly the crane. Then 1 west bound lane closed for 18 months.

Didn't take that long (yeah, like a city official is going to come around and talk to individual businesses about the road closing).... Euclid Avenue small business owners fume over road closing, lack of communication http://www.cleveland19.com/story/36295351/businesses-owners-on-euclid-say-theyre-concerned-over-road-closing-lack-of-communication Sounds like sour grapes from 2 business owners. Road closures are a part of life.

It's not like there was months and months of planning meetings, permitting, etc. How could the neighborhood not be informed? Of course, I sometimes forget that people engaged in forums like UO are not living under a rock like 3/4 of the population.... But we are also big time development nerds while the rest of the population has other non interesting things they geek out about.

It's been so long I actually forgot what was there before the garage.

I'm wondering how that will work. I assume they will have to close at least for next week along with other businesses close to 515 Euclid.

The Indians do not get the respect that I think they deserve. I would argue that they have the best run front office of any team in Cleveland (not saying much.) Being in a smaller market and making playoff runs every 3- 6 years is remarkable IMHO.

^ I think your crane seems to be sturdier and safer. YABO713[/member] is always trying to cut corners to save a buck. :-D

Do they have their financing identified? Or it is all approved and closed? The timeline from identified to closed can be loooooooong and tedious.

I'm not sure how far along PHS is in their capital stack. Developers tend be more optimistic than lenders and lawyers.

^ you never doubted me YABO713[/member]. It might not be August but it's happening.

I think the the area north of CSU is ripe for redevelopment and could work for an Amazon campus. Site control could be a major hurdle.

As far as putting together a proposal, GCP and TeamNEO are the ones that need to be on top of this. Amazon wants only one package from each MSA which can include multiple sites from multiple jurisdictions. I don't care if this ends up in the burbs or Summit County. I'd love to see it NEO. Anywhere else in Ohio is my second choice and Detroit is third. I'm a dreamer.

Thanks for reminding me about the Ferrari Dealership. That made me smile.

I have a little free time right now and I love this type of "research."

I found this on a search for Heyse Block Cleveland. http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/15248520/1702-W-28th-St-Cleveland-OH/

Fairmount Street is now known as East 107th Street. I have attached a cool link showing old street names before they were converted to numbers. I'm not sure about Hayse Block. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~officer/Clev1906D_F.html

I was envisioning a mixed use development anchored by Amazon's 2nd HQ in which case i think we can build out a huge section of SP all at one and use a TIF to assist with rail, infrastructure and road construction.

^ I discussed in the other thread that the city could create a TIF district for public infrastructure improvements. The increase in value from 8 million square feet of office should generate enough to improve the infrastructure. Looking at a map SP is not far from the Red Line at W25th and directly across the river from Tower City. Perhaps a spur loop off of the red line, or trolley buses could make the connection to W25th. I think pedestrian bridges could connect to Tower City as well which provides access to all rail transit and parking.

Some well place pedestrian bridges linking to the Tower City parking lot could help in connecting to parking and transit. Perhaps a red line spur or loop bus could help too. They can maybe turn the peninsula into a TIF district and use the proceeds to improve transit, cycing and automobile access to the site.

^ That's what I thought too. I wasn't able to follow KJP on that point.

I posted in the ohio thread that the former Hunting Building and adjacent JHB might work for a first phase with later phases built on the Greyhound site and surrounding parking lots.

I got my Browns season tickets though. LOL

Former Huntington Building in Cleveland is about 1 million square feet. Add in JHB it could handle the phase 1 and 2 maybe. Then a short hop over to the Greyhound Station and surrounding parking lots for the remainder.

Pickle Bill's without the flair. I'll have to check it out sometime.
