Something you don't see every day. Three blimps. They passed closer to me over I-480, but by the time I got off at Transportation Blvd. to take the picture, they had moved north and appear small.

LOL, Just wondering, is the IX center tall enough to play football in? 🤣

Aesthetically, I would like to have seen a development on the southeast corner of W25th and Detroit to square off the intersection.

Sorry, but It's as if they scavenged random pieces of other unrelated buildings and glued them together. It would even look better with just consistent colors and window shapes.

LOL, to anyone feeling that there's not much to do in Cleveland, my brother was in town for the long weekend, and in that short time, we went: . To the Cleveland History Center . To the Rock Hall . On the Lady Caroline . To Monday evening's Guardians game. Some snaps from the boat. Waiting: Bridgetopia: NS RR bridge down. Trains crossing in both directions.

Playhouse Square is a role model, right here in town.

Were there no new light rail car products that would fit the existing station architecture? Was there a particular advantage associated with the narrower (Siemans) rail cars?

Relation of D to the garage to be the site of the new terminal

^ Seeking more support/approval in a swing state. This, if genuine, would likely be popular in SW Pennsylvania.

Acknowledged. Post edited.

Reading the above series of posts, I felt echoes of the late 1970's, when another mayor took on the local electric power provider and some of Cleveland's business elites, but I don't remember how exactly that worked out. 🤔

Also, remember the defunct Holiday Inn at E 22nd and Euclid across from CSU. It was positioned that way too.

I don't see any mention of the highway spur connecting CLE to I-71, as suggested in the recent master plan. I do see revised entrance and exit roadways, but they are still accessed off of SR-237. The spur would have run, elevated, beside Snow Rd., which will need attention, especially if you know who builds you know what on the old Ford property.

I wonder what kind of financial analysis was made justifying the reduction to the 100% tax abatement in "desirable" neighborhoods. For example, if you discourage say 10 developments in hot areas, where developers can make money, but gain 1 development in an area where the abatement is still 100%, how does that help you? I understand the moral issue of trying to raise up relatively "disadvantaged" areas, and avoid the "rich get richer" scenario, however you may need to do other/additional things to make this happen, while still getting higher income tax revenues from the hot areas. Also, don't forget, after the 15 year abatement ends , you get a larger bonanza, the more developments that were built. Ah, politics!

Is it true that if even one of the new trains is running on a line, the old trains can no longer be used? I.e. the surviving old cars can not be used to supplement frequencies?
