A class of thirteen students, led by two instructors, prepared a detailed paper regarding potential redevelopment of the area in Cleveland, OH that is currently known as the Scranton Peninsula. Forest City Enterprises is the private majority share owner for the vast majority of the 80 plus acre property that is adjacent to downtown. They acted as the client of the class. A thorough review of the history, current physical conditions, current zoning regulations & uses, current ownership, demographics, culture, similar development plans from across the US, current local and regional plans for the area, surveying local residents and stakeholders, and brownfields risks was completed to understand the context of the area before any redevelopment of the land was proposed. The class named the development project the Carter Riverfront: Reimagining the Scranton Peninsula in honor of the first European American settler in the area. Next, the 13 students broke up into two separate groups and prepared two different development plans for the site. The plans had many elements in common such as the smart growth philosophy of dense development and mixed use (containing residential, retail, commercial, and office), environmental concern, and appreciation of the environs and the surrounding Cuyahoga River. Differences included an urban campground, a graffiti park and an in-depth review of available funding sources in Group B’s plan, while Group A’s included a center promoting cooperatives and cutting edge supply chain processes, an artist live-work co-op apartment and reuse of one of the buildings to create a recreation-art center. Projected costs for the developer were also presented in both papers. Group A projected a cost of close to $96 million in order to complete the development, while Group B projected a cost of close to $450 million. Both put brownfield remediation costs in the area of $10 million. i Table of contents Public Surveys & Stakeholder Interviews 38 Introduction 1 PHASE TWO - GROUP A PHASE ONE National Plans - Milwaukee Riverfront 2 Plan Overview - Team A Site Plans and Elevations 47 National Plans - North End 3 Summary of the Design Elements 51 Local and Regional Plans 4 Themes Synopsis 52 Existing Regulatory Conditions and Ownership 7 LEED ND 53 Zoning, Existing Use and Cleveland 2020 Citywide Plan 8 Area Highest and Best Use 55 Parcel Ownership 9 SWOT Analysis 57 Physical Conditions 13 Remediation & Construction Costs 58 Existing Conditions Summary - Transportation 18 Project Specific Remediation & Development Construction Costs 59 Existing Conditions Summary: Brownfield Analysis 19 Total Cost/Rent Analysis 60 History of the Scranton Peninsula 22 Carter Riverfront Center for Innovation in Demographics 30 Manufacturing and Cooperatives 63 Demographics - Homelessness and Housing Needs 34 Arts and Culture 67 Demographics - Crime 35 Green Space and Recreation 71 Demographics - Culture 37 Transportation 74 PHASE TWO - GROUP B Plan Overview - Team B Site Plans and Elevations 81 Executive Summary 88 Multi - Modal Connections and Place-Making 90 Graffiti Park 93 Carter Townhomes 95 Mixed-Use District 96 River’s Bend Apartments 100 Finances 101 Urban Campground 105 Public Funds Targeting Brownfield Cleanup 107 Funding From Local Foundations 115 Conclusion 119 Acknowledgements 120 Introduction It is likely that John Malvin, of the early 19th century, canal boat captain, The above work will be presented in Cleveland civic leader and one of the first African Americans to live in the section known as Phase 1.

It was an honor to represent RTA at the ribbon-cutting for the Flats East Bank project that relies on RTA to transport their visitors and their workers to this new world-class waterfront attraction. RTA also cut the ribbon on its new Lee/Van Aken Blue Line Rail Station in Shaker Heights. This modern, safe and ADA accessible station will better connect residents to all the region has to offer. Our hard work throughout the year did not go unnoticed. RTA received accolades by way of Metro Magazine’s Innovative Solutions Award in the area of Safety for taking an aggressive approach to increase operator safety and improving driving behavior and creating a safer experience for transit riders with the use of DriveCam. Speaking of hard work, it truly paid off when RTA Board Member Valerie J. McCall was elected Chair of the American Public Transportation Association. RTA is proud of this accomplishment. Not only does this bring positive attention to Greater Cleveland RTA, but this allows Chair McCall to help shape what the future of the industry will be. RTA is certainly the only transit system in the nation to have two APTA Chairs (past and present) serving on its Board of Trustees. Congratulations Valarie J. McCall and George Dixon!!! During the quarter, RTA received the Silver Commitment to Excellence from The Partnership for Excellence, recognizing the Authority's continued efforts toward obtaining the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

  • Organizations & Departments with Oversight
    A Civic Vision for the Central Delaware 2 PennPraxis WRT William Penn Foundation F O R E W O R D The William Penn Foundation, founded in 1945 by Otto and Phoebe Haas, is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Greater Philadelphia region. We seek to build on the region’s assets and enhance the economic competitiveness of Greater Philadelphia. We have long believed that the Delaware River is one of our region’s most significant assets. For more than a decade, the Foundation has sought to promote the historically industrialized Delaware Riverfront as a both a natural and community resource. In recent years the riverfront has experienced tremendous redevelopment pressure. However, due to the absence of an effective master plan and weak land use controls, most of this development has occurred in an ad-hoc and uncoordinated manner, raising concerns that the city would fail to fully maximize the waterfront’s economic and community development benefits and potential to deliver important new public access and amenities. In response to these concerns, the Foundation launched the central Delaware riverfront planning process to provide needed planning resources for the waterfront. We also sought a new model for large-scale, open, transparent civic visioning and planning that we hope will be replicable elsewhere in Philadelphia and will set a new standard for public access and participation in the city’s development decisions. Although Philadelphia has come late to the waterfront development game, our tardiness gives us one important advantage – we can learn from the experiences of many other cities.

  • 06 CVCD Parks-And-Open-Space
    Purpose General Findings Goals 6 Early Action Create New Parks Connect the City to the Riverfront Invest in a Sustainable Riverfront AND OPEN PARKS SPACE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Port Richmond Riverfront Park In coordination with GreenPlan Philadelphia the civic vision recommends a park system that connects across city neighborhoods and along the river’s edge. A park at the end of Lehigh Avenue serves potential job centers to the north and south and is connected to Delaware Boulevard, a riverfront trail and a Lehigh Viaduct cross-city trail. 6 Parks and Open Space The central Delaware riverfront is severely lacking in public open space, but it has the potential to host a world-class park system. Currently, there are only two public parks in the project area, Penn Treaty Park and Pulaski Park, and these occupy just eight of the area’s 1,146 acres. Another possible park location would be Penn’s Landing, a hard-surfaced, signifi cantly underutilized public asset in need of revitalization. A more extensive, contiguous and designed system of open spaces at the river’s edge would improve quality of life for neighbors, increase the value of future development, preserve and support natural life and attract visitors from across the region. Parks and Open Space 119 Purpose The purpose of the following recommendations on parks and open Parks and open spaces also have important health benefits for space is to improve the quality of life along the riverfront and the river residents, as well as for the city as a whole. Having such recreational itself by building a network of public open spaces that are ecologically assets increases activity levels and therefore improves the health of productive and attractive.
