LAKEWOOD – The Clifton Transportation Enhancement Program between the city, Cleveland and the Regional Transit Authority has come to a halt, according to Mayor Michael Summers. After much discussion between RTA, Lakewood and Cleveland, Lakewood has said the project will not go on. All parties involved had been seeking funding to secure the project… (go [...]
Skinny houses wedged onto small lots. Church steeples dotting the skyline. Factories and blue-collar taverns. Eastern-European accents heard on the street. These phrases might call to mind multi-ethnic Cleveland neighborhoods like Tremont, St. Clair-Superior, Collinwood and Slavic Village, but Lakewood? (go to article)
The next public meeting for the design and engineering phase for the Clifton Boulevard Enhancement Project has been scheduled: Wednesday, August 11th 6 – 8 pm Garfield Middle School We will review the 30% submission from the designers and engineers (which means that they are one third there). The submission reflects the public input from previous [...]
Local artists apparently were not enthralled by the city’s $5,000 contest to create public art. Only five applications were submitted by the May 21st deadline. The winning idea will grace a soon-to-be built high-end RTA bus stop in front of the INA building, near the corner of Detroit Ave. and Warren Rd. The new nearly [...]
So, this is something I have been fiddling with (actually I set it up and then stopped fiddling) and am curious how useful these open source mappings could be for communities. I had started this after chatting with Lakewood City Planner, Dru Siley, who has some very positive and vigorous attitudes about Lakewood in general. The [...]
The MarJ and I went on a tour of St. James which was hosted by Tim Barett, an architectural historian in Cleveland, who gave a presentation on the history and detailing of St. James which is currently being ordered to close by the Cleveland Diocese. The city of Lakewood, in which St. James resides, is [...]
Even if the Cleveland Catholic Diocese goes ahead with the planned closing of St. James Church, the twin-towered building may be protected. Proposed legislation in Lakewood City Council would prohibit the diocese or any future owner from tearing down the church or gutting its ornate interior. The diocese, which has ordered St. James and dozens [...]

“New city ordinances allow Lakewood to take action against blighted homes, such as demolition, and then billing the owner for the work. The city simply needs to label them a nuisance and wait to see what action the owner takes. This property at 1346 Webb Road will be torn down next week using funds from [...]
“City officials are placing two vacant properties on the market in an ongoing effort to eliminate blighted neighborhood structures. The city acquired a fire-damaged property at 1346 Webb Road from an out-of-town landlord after it fell victim to arson. The home was uninsured at the time and after the owner was forgiven his loan interest, [...]
via Cuyahoga County Planning Commission: “The City of Lakewood, in partnership with Lakewood Community Progress, Inc. developed the ‘Detroit Avenue Streetscape Plan,’ which outlined a plan to redesign the streetscape of Detroit Avenue in Lakewood. The purpose of the improvements is to revitalize Lakewood’s downtown and organize traffic flow. The Detroit Avenue Public Right-of-Way Improvements [...]
“Lakewood is looking to arts and entertainment businesses to revitalize the inner-ring suburb’s economy. A community meeting this Thursday, April 23, convened by the city’s Planning Commission, will seek community comment on developing a planned ordinance that will encourage rezoning parts of the city to allow spaces where artists can both live and use as [...]
“More than 60 years after streetcars were displaced by automobiles on Clifton Boulevard, an RTA bus/rapid transit line will be the street’s new face of public transportation. Sixty-foot long articulated buses, similar to those on the Euclid Avenue HealthLine, are expected to be on the street this fall. RTA will spend $700,000 in federal stimulus [...]
