Posted December 15, 201113 yr Remember, im not Urban Planner, and am basically only using the apple version of Powerpoint to make these. So go easy on me :) I would like to extend apartment or condo buildings along Shaker Boulevard to the West. 6+ stories tall. Continue to Woodhill Road where you would extend the Shaker Boulevards...(least favorite part of plan) Continue west and pass by my TOD dream area, and connect Shaker Boulevard to East 55th
December 15, 201113 yr Cool! It's similar to what I proposed for the Opportunity Corridor five years ago..... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
December 15, 201113 yr The best part would be that (as Ken's plan shows) you could tie it in with the Opportunity Corridor so you could call it a road project and get some money from ODOT. It's a project that would require hundreds of millions in investment, which is hard to come by, but it could dramatically change the neighborhood and with that big of an investment it could affect the economy.
December 15, 201113 yr Thanks! It would be a shame if that area didn't get developed right. It has the best connection of rail in the entire city. From there, it just a short ride to Downtown, Ohio City/Westside Market, Airport, Little Italy, University Circle, Shaker Square. Best chance for Cleveland to do a large TOD.
December 16, 201113 yr I agree. Unfortunately, the wide open spaces and cheap land there may encourage a developer to build some low-density, single-use structures. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
December 16, 201113 yr I agree. Unfortunately, the wide open spaces and cheap land there may encourage a developer to build some low-density, single-use structures. That would be terrible. But yeah, I see either low density housing or more concentration of pubic housing developments going there.
