The Plan was funded from a Community Development Block Grant from Cuyahoga County. Illustration: Parcels formerly home to the Ford Casting and Engine plants could be redeveloped into a regional destination site accommodating a variety of mixed uses. Its prime location to the Cleveland Hopkins Airport and I-71 make it well-suited to accommodate future growth for the community. Brook Park Master Plan 3 Section I: Executive Summary Brook Park has experienced various levels of progression from a small settlement, to a burgeoning post- World War II community, to the "built-out" community that it is today. There is no doubt that the City's proximity to Cleveland, Cleveland Hopkins Airport, Ford Motor Company, and key thoroughfare routes resulted in defining Brook Park’s built and social landscape. Today, Brook Park’s has 12,000 residents fewer than its 1970 peak population of 30,774, and much of its built environment is aging. But the pride and perseverance of residents is not.

  • Akshai Singh Organizer, Amalgamated Transit Union Cleveland Heights, Ohio
    Akshai Singh Organizer, Amalgamated Transit Union Cleveland Heights, Ohio To the House Finance Committee, Thank you Mr. Chairman, and Ranking Member for hearing my testimony this morning. My name is Akshai Singh, and I am an organizer with the Amalgamated Transit Union. My union represents thousands of bus drivers, mechanics, train operators, vehicle and facilities service workers, and dispatch and scheduler staff at transit agencies around the State of Ohio. We are joined in coalition with MOVE Ohio, who you have heard from, which also includes the Transport Workers Union workers here at COTA and at Akron METRO. I am here to urge this body to consider an increase to the gas tax, only with the inclusion of a statutory provision that recognizes transit's inherent highway purposes, in alignment with the Federal Highway Administration standards. It is these standards by which ODOT is proposing 'flexing' highway dollars to transit, and these standards also satisfy constitutionality regarding Ohio gas taxes in Article XII, Section 5a. The late Lieutenant Governor and Cleveland Mayor Voinavich saw to the procurement of GCRTA's heavy rail cars in the late 70s and early 80s. George Voinavich supported Ohio's only transit rail system, and knew its value to our community and economic opportunities. These rail cars are now kept alive through the tireless work of our men and women of the ATU Local 268. They were a key reason for Cleveland being chosen as the host city for the Republican National Convention, anchor what growth we're experiencing, and provide access across the county, and to the world via Hopkins International Airport.

  • Ohio ACTT Promoting Safety and Access Cleveland's Innerbelt Freeway
    March 19, 2007 ADDENDUM TO Promoting Safety and Access Cleveland Innerbelt Freeway Publication Number FHWA-IF-06-038-OHIO The following is part of the Structures I (Major Bridges) skill set’s final recommendations and should be included in Section 3.4 at the bottom of page 12. Please add to your copy of the report accordingly. Demolition of Existing Bridge ♦ Demolish the existing single-span bridge, and construct two new shorter-span structures. This will eliminate a significant maintenance liability for ODOT. Utilize the pier in the west embankment of the river (as noted above) to construct a less costly, shorter-span structure. Decrease deck width; two-way traffic may not need to be maintained on the southbound bridge.Archival Utilize savings from the repetition of two similar structures to balance the cost of building two shorter versus one long bridge. May no longer reflect current or accepted regulation, policy, guidance or practice. PROMOTING SAFETY OHIO AND ACCESS cleveland’S innerbelT FREEWAY ACTT WORKSHOP Archival U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration May no longer reflect current or accepted regulation, policy, guidance or practice. ACTT ACCELERATED CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/accelerated • ACTT provides a fresh outlook by bringing national experts to your planning table. • ACTT introduces innovations that have been tested elsewhere. • ACTT saves time: according to FHWA’s ACTT II report, published WHY ACTT? in March 2005, “most agencies have found ways to slice construc- tion time by 30 percent or more.” • ACTT saves money: ACTT suggestions enabled New Jersey to reduce its budget for the Route 46 bridge project from $10 million to $7.2 million.
