  • A City of Choice
    MAKING CLEVELAND A CITY OF CHOICE A Strategy for Development and Revitalization in Cleveland Frank G. Jackson, Mayor January 2007 Cleveland: A Community of Choice vital > vibrant > connected! Cleveland is becoming a “community of choice” for residents, businesses and visitors by becoming a city that is vital, vibrant, and connected. Vital! Cleveland is becoming a vital community with a prosperous economy fueled by new jobs in healthcare, medical research, information technology, product design, professional services and advanced manufacturing. Vibrant! Cleveland is becoming a 24-hour community with a vibrant downtown and vibrant neighborhood “town centers” where people live, work, shop, dine and visit in places that are mixed-use, mixed-income, walkable, transit-accessible and truly urban. Connected! Cleveland is becoming a place of “connections” where residents are connected to all the amenities of urban living – from education to jobs, from shopping to culture, and from entertainment to unique urban waterfronts – and, most important, where neighbors are connected to one another in neighborhoods that demonstrate the true meaning of “community.” CLEVELAND: A COMMUNITY OF CHOICE Making Cleveland and its neighborhoods “communities of choice” is a principal goal of the administration of Mayor Frank Jackson. A community of choice is a place that residents and businesses and visitors choose because of the exceptional quality of life and amenities that it offers. The roadmap to creating communities of choice in Cleveland is presented in the Connecting Cleveland 2020 Citywide Plan, Cleveland’s new long-term comprehensive plan. The directions to reaching each of the destinations along the way to that goal are presented in the plan itself as well as in the initiatives and programs of each City department that has a role in making Cleveland a community of choice.

  • Digital Billboards & Traffic Safety Study
    A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIGITAL BILLBOARDS AND TRAFFIC SAFETY IN CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OHIO SUBMITTED TO THE FOUNDATION FOR OUTDOOR ADVERTISING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (FOARE) 1850 M STREET, NW, SUITE 1040 WASHINGTON, DC 20036‐5821 BY ALBERT MARTIN TANTALA, SR., P.E. MICHAEL WALTER TANTALA, P.E. SUBMITTED ON JULY 7, 2007 STRUCTURAL GEOTECHNICAL SITE/CIVIL RISK MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURAL TRANSPORTATION CONSULTING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study is to examine the statistical relationship between certain digital billboards and traffic safety, and to determine if any correlation exists. For this study, a study area was identified, data was collected, and an analysis was made. Specifically, this study analyzes the traffic and accident data near seven existing, digital billboards on the 132.07 miles of Interstate routes in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. These seven billboards are located along Interstate routes I-77, I-90, I-271, and I-480. In July 2005, the seven billboards were converted to digital from conventional format; a total of 335 million vehicles drove by these seven billboards in that year. The analysis has two parts. In the first part, the temporal analysis, the occurrence of traffic accidents near the digital billboards is examined for an equal length of time before and after July 2005, for the purpose of establishing if traffic accidents occurred more or less frequently with the presence of the digital billboards. The second part, the spatial analysis, establishes statistical correlation coefficients between the digital billboards and accidents. Correlation coefficients are statistical measures of the “association” between two sets of data, for example, billboards and traffic accidents.
