  • Big Creek Watershed News & Notes
    December 2020 Big Creek Watershed News & Notes YEAR END REPORT RECAP OF 2020 s 2020 comes to a close, we want share with you some of our accomplishments during the year A and to thank you for your ongoing support. With the COVID-19 pandemic, this has been a challenging year. We have been limited with scheduling clean-ups and other events involving or engaging with the community. And most of our popular stream monitoring programs with local school students have been put on hold. However, we have continued to work with West Creek Conservancy, Cleveland Metroparks, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District, and other partners on our stream restoration and green infrastructure projects. In this newsletter, we update you on some of those projects, showcase our watershed signage project, explore how stormwater in our watershed functions, and provide a guide for our year ahead. We also want to thank our supporters for the work we’ve been able to accomplish and wish everyone a healthy and prosperous new year. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND STREAM RESTORATION UPDATES he Caribe Bakery Green Infrastructure Project is nearly complete, while groundbreaking for the T Barrio Distribution Center Green Campus project should begin in the fall of 2021. Under management by project partner West Creek Conservancy, the Stickney Creek Restoration project in Brooklyn’s Memorial Park should be breaking ground in February. Cleveland Metroparks’ Brookside parking lot project will break ground in the spring, where bioretention cells will manage stormwater runoff entering Big Creek. BCC is playing a small part in the project with financial assistance and outreach efforts.

  • Brooklyn Centre Neighborhood Plan Summary
    BROOKLYN CENTRE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUMMARY Description. Brooklyn Centre became a part of Cleveland with the annexation of Brooklyn Village in 1894. Although first settled in the 1820s along Pearl Street, the lifeline to Cleveland, a substantial business district developed around the intersection of Pearl and Denison after the extension of a streetcar line 1869. The oldest remaining houses in Brooklyn Centre date from the middle of the 19th century. Most residential development occurred, however, after annexation between 1900 and 1915 and is a mix of one- and two-families and small multi-family buildings. Pearl Road is still the neighborhood’s main commercial street and industrial uses are located in and near the Big Creek Valley and Cuyahoga River. Assets. Among the neighborhood’s most significant assets are: • MetroHealth Medical Center which is one of the region’s main trauma centers • historic residential and commercial buildings and Riverside Cemetery which form the basis for the Brooklyn Centre Historic District • Pearl Road retail including Aldi’s and the Brooklyn Centre Shopping Center • good freeway access to interstate 71 and state route 176 • proximity to Brookside Reservation and the Metroparks Zoo Challenges. Among the challenges faced by the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood today are: • physical condition of apartment buildings and absentee-owned single and two-family homes on residential side streets • vacant former Brooklyn YMCA building on Pearl Road at Seltzer Avenue • poor condition of streetscape along West 25th Street and Denison Avenue • lack of direct access to Lower Big Creek Valley and Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail • hillside subsidence and ongoing property loss along rim of Lower Big Creek Valley Vision.
