Is it realistic to think all this development will come to fruition? Over 20-30 years? Sure, why not? And the lakefront and riverfront developments are just some of what's in the works. Of course, not everything will come to fruition, but if we're to satisfy the reported demand for housing downtown (4,000 to 6,500 units over the next decade), then we've got a lot of building to do even if we subtract from that total City Club (304 units), The Bell (367 units), Centennial (580 units), Erieview (227 units), Rockefeller (436 units), that's "only" 1,915 units. Let's say the old Sherwin-Williams HQ is partially converted to residential (say 500 units), Medical Mutual (300 units) and Ohio Savings Plaza (150-225 units) are sold to developers, that's another 1,000 units or so. Perhaps another downtown building may be converted that's not yet on the radar. Add another 200 units for that contingency. So, we're talking about 3,100 units without adding new construction that isn't already under construction. To add another 900 to 3,400 units would take anywhere from three to 11 new construction high rises the scale of the City Club or The Lumen. Let's do it, Cleveland!

April 19, 20232 yr This might be a stupid question, but is that 4,000 to 6,500 number based off of current market conditions and projecting those into the next 10 years? Or could that demand number possibly climb as Cleveland becomes a more desirable place to live?

Not sure why that hasn’t been discussed. The structures are already built. Huntington Park and Willard Park would directly connect to the waterfront and land bridge then. This seems like a such an easy win to me, even without the land bridge it would connect Huntington, Williard, and the malls together. It also creates an east-west green corridor to complement the north-south one created by the malls/land bridge. This area could also conceivably host the Lakefront Bikeway, as well as being the first leg of a pedestrian connection to the East Bank of the flats. I actually raised this idea a while ago, but it never generated much discussion. Quoting since I made an extremely rough sketch last time.

That would be a huge waste of space downtown and huge wasted opportunity for the Haslams to develop that real estate with something revenue-generating. Not everything has to be downtown. They can still build a "football village" around the football stadium, which would make sense because there are tons of fans there, but moving the practice facilities and headquarters doesn't seem to have much benefit besides income taxes going to Cleveland.

April 28, 20232 yr City of Cleveland announces community visioning workshops for North Coast Connector and Master Plan April 28, 2023 — Cleveland — Last fall, the City of Cleveland asked residents to consider concepts for the North Coast Connector, a proposed land bridge that would cross the railroad tracks and the Shoreway to reconnect the community to the lakefront. This spring, residents are asked to weigh in on how to make the North Coast Lakefront and surrounding areas a welcoming place for all through a master planning process. The community will be asked about what will create a sense of belonging and what they want to experience along the shores of Lake Erie. "The North Coast Connector and Master Plan signal our commitment to a city that is welcoming, accessible and thriving for all residents,” said Mayor Justin M. Bibb. “By uniting the community's diverse voices in shaping the waterfront's future, we will not only enhance the downtown lakefront area but will also create shared assets that meet the needs of Clevelanders for generations to come.” The City of Cleveland will host three community visioning workshops open to the public: • May 6th, 2023, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m., Pivot Center - Inlet Dance Theatre • May 9th, 2023, 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., EJ Kovacic Recreation Center • May 11th, 2023, 12 p.m. – 1:30 p.m., via Zoom (register for meeting link) The city will provide childcare, children’s activities and refreshments at the in-person workshops. While not required, pre-registration is requested for planning purposes. Participants are encouraged to register at clevelandnorthcoast.com/get-involved or by calling 216-664-2210. For more information on the North Coast Lakefront or to submit feedback online, please visit clevelandnorthcoast.com.

April 30, 20232 yr Atleast they're asking for input, I never knew there was an option. It is a rather large undertaking to partially cap underpasses. However it irks me to think that the city will choose the cheapest and blandest option to save on engineering costs unless the Haslams are the ones pitching in for this project. That being said I am also surprised that they're holding a presentation for the public, which makes me think there is potentially more than one master plan. If they're holding focus groups i'm interested in seeing how this plan will change, however i don't feel it will change much. Hopefully we can get some UrbanOhioans in the group to voice their opinions on how not to just build it, but to tailor it to Cleveland. Statues, urban arts, stages, pergolas, gathering areas, fancy lighting, trees, and whatnot. Maybe this is finally our chance to get the superman statue we've always wanted!
May 2, 20232 yr Very busy planning commission agenda this week -- especially with detailed design work for lots of lakefront stuff from downtown east to Euclid including North Coast Connector, CHEERS, and Euclid Beach/Euclid Creek stuff all funded out of the city's ARPA Waterfront Activation Fund. https://planning.clevelandohio.gov/designreview/drcagenda/2023/PDF/CPC/CPC05-05-2023.pdf "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 3, 20232 yr North Coast Connector: ready for its close-up By Ken Prendergast / May 2, 2023 The North Coast Connector — a project that’s considered by many city and community development officials as the key to unlocking the potential of downtown Cleveland’s lakefront — is starting to come together. The state is moving forward on a big piece of funding for its construction. The city is moving forward on funding for detailed architectural designs. And public involvement meetings to help shape those designs will be held starting this week. To quote Gloria Swanson in the 1950 classic movie “Sunset Boulevard,” the proposed land bridge is “ready for its close-up.” MORE: https://neo-trans.blog/2023/05/02/north-coast-connector-ready-for-its-close-up/ "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 3, 20232 yr Awesome to see this connector project gaining momentum - thanks @KJP for being out front on the story and bringing it to us. Of The two illustrations of different land bridges - the first one appears to have so much additional high rise development around it - it’s hard to imagine anything anywhere near to that level of new build - at least in the next generation Just wondering where that rendering originates from. Also, and I guess more importantly - can we learn more about the “proposed high rise development” that would border the land bridge?
May 3, 20232 yr Both renderings have the same new buildings in them. Watch the fly-through video of the rendering (and maybe add some good music to go with it -- I suggest Thierry David's "Connected"! 😎 )... "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
May 3, 20232 yr If the Browns require a specific number of parking spaces, presumably the high rises with parking beneath would need to be built before anything replacing the team’s existing parking. Unless the garages can be built separately and have the residential component added later?
May 3, 20232 yr anyone else getting concerned that this landbridge is just going to be a huge concrete parking garage jutting out of the bluff? this really needs to be designed right
May 3, 20232 yr I want a small amusement park and a ferris wheel at the end. Is that too much to ask?
May 3, 20232 yr If we actually were to ever get something close to this - with these added new high rises - and, don't forget to add in S-W (and The Beacon & Lumen) - that view is one pretty nice skyline. (Not to mention the glitzy new waterfront buildings and the park-like promenade with no automobiles parked on the lakefront!) Despite its impressiveness, imagine it without a big football stadium and the whole thing opened for development!!!
May 3, 20232 yr This is really not a great look for Western Reserve Land Conservancy, and by association, Cleveland Metroparks. You have to wonder is someone at Metroparks is going to pull the Conservancy aside to change course. Removing the residents of the mobile home parks always made me uncomfortable, but now with federal funds available to cover the infrastructure improvement costs, which were said to be the main obstacle, it looks even worse. I'm sure there are additional considerations, but I'm not sure why you can't consolidate the mobile homes for the residents who want to remain in one section of the mobile home park and allow them to stay. Once all of those residents move on, then you can revert that portion of the mobile home park to the Metroparks. Euclid Beach residents have plan to save mobile homes. Western Reserve Land Conservancy says no Ideastream Public Media | By Gabriel Kramer Published May 1, 2023 at 8:50 PM EDT Quote The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland says it's found a federal program that it hopes can help keep an East Side Cleveland mobile home park from closing, but the nonprofit organization that owns the property remains set in its plans. Quote Legal Aid recently discovered a program created in 2022 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) called Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE). The PRICE program includes $225 million in federal dollars for revitalizing manufactured housing, which includes mobile home communities. Quote The conservancy shut down the idea of PRICE quickly, saying its decision to close the mobile home park is final and it will not consider applying for federal programs like PRICE as an option to keep residents on the property. https://www.ideastream.org/community/2023-05-01/euclid-beach-residents-have-plan-to-save-mobile-homes-western-reserve-land-conservancy-says-no

Once all of those residents move on, then you can revert that portion of the mobile home park to the Metroparks.” I do think that throughout much of the debate that people are forgetting that WRC wouldn’t have bought the land if they couldn’t turn it into a park. And if they hadn’t bought it, a developer would have and the mobile homes still would have been evicted. When is the last time I-71 turned a profit?

I'll be concerned until they add the transportation center. I'm not as worried about spin-off development happening, e.g. all those buildings. I think that'll start happening as soon as there's a plan in place. But to expand on @Whipjacka's point this all needs to be done right. The Lakefront District has to be better designed than Flats East Bank 2.0. Also the renderings make E. 9th and W. 3rd both look like highways where drivers would be going 65 mph.
May 3, 20232 yr From the video, what exactly is going on here? It looks like people sitting on steps that lead to a pit? And the section just north of it is a giant opening that drops down to the tracks below? Seems dangerous and weird. Looks cool though, I'm just confused what this is depicting.
May 3, 20232 yr I was also wondering about that donut hole. What is the purpose? Is it intended to let in some light to whatever is underneath? It seem like there is a better way to accomplish that.
May 3, 20232 yr 10 hours ago, Whipjacka said: anyone else getting concerned that this landbridge is just going to be a huge concrete parking garage jutting out of the bluff? this really needs to be designed right I actually like the idea of putting a ton of parking under the land bridge. I mean ideally there wouldn't be much of a parking component to this, but the reality is that there is going to be. The underside of the land bridge seems like one of the more unobtrusive options for this parking. Obviously, I don't want it to look terrible, but I do want to open up the surface lots for development and avoid construction of more visible garages.

I've heard from convention center officials that having some natural light coming into those ballroom windows is very important to them. There has actually been some opposition from the convention center folks to the land bridge idea because of the lighting situation. So they'd really like to have some natural light. 22 minutes ago, LibertyBlvd said: I'm a pretty optimistic person, but I'm a bit skeptical about all of the high rise development planned for the lakefront, tower city and the various other available parcels.

One of the big reasons why we don't have more new-construction high-rise towers downtown is because the availability of obsolete commercial buildings to convert to residential. They have filled the void. Look at how many office buildings in the 10- to 30-story range have been converted in the last 20 years. I seem to recall the number is at least a dozen. I'm told that a new "significant" building next to the land bridge is already in the works. Financing for that building is coming together. It appears to involve a TIF.

But if we did...if we got that version with a multi-modle transportation center under that landbridge, parking decks under that landbridge, all that greenery, all that housing...that project alone has the potential to change the national narrative of Cleveland because it is so prominent, so visual.

May 5, 20232 yr Cleveland has designs on its waterfronts By Ken Prendergast / May 5, 2023 For much of the city’s 227-year history, public officials have been accused of ignoring Cleveland’s waterfronts and especially its lakefront. But now there’s a flurry of activity to turn conceptual ideas into blueprints which will not only help city officials apply for construction funding but to actually build what’s been proposed. Today, those funding allocations for nine waterfront projects were mostly recommended by the City Planning Commission for City Council approval although one was tabled until the next commission meeting. Several of those funding allocations are for construction or demolition to allow larger projects to go forward.

May 6, 20232 yr Just got back from the North Coast Community Involvement meeting. Main takeaway, it seems like the boulevard is the preferred option of both the community and the organizers. The presentation should be available on their website on Monday. Look for it on their website. Here's the map of the boulevard proposal before it got covered with community feedback.
May 6, 20232 yr Thanks for the pics. It's still too much asphalt. That extension off of W. 3rd seems unnecessary. Just direct traffic to Lakeside. It's only through traffic which is minimal.
