Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson may not go down in history as an aggressive builder, like former mayor Michael R. White, who promoted everything from the Gateway sports complex and Cleveland Browns Stadium to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. But Jackson could rightly claim credit for a small but exemplary project percolating [...]

Jill Akins, principal of Van Auken Akins Architects LLC, unveiled the outline of the first phase of the lakefront plan, which could start [...]
I have had a bit of time to look over the waterfront proposal. As it is I remind you that I have not gone to the formal presentation and therefore a lot of these questions/issues may have been answered, however without knowing this for sure I thought I would bring up the two most obvious [...]
Cleveland Waterfront Community Meeting Thursday, August 13, 2009 St. Ignatius High School, Father Sullivan Gym, 1911 West 30th Street, Cleveland, Oh 44113 5.30 – 8pm There has been quite a bit of brouhaha regarding the plan to develop Cleveland’s waterfront between West 9th and East 9th Street (you know, that huge chuck of land around the [...]
Meg Walker thinks Cleveland has a great lakefront. She just has one little piece of advice: “You need to use it.” Walker is vice president of the Project for Public Spaces, a New York-based nonprofit that works with cities to breathe new life into open places, be it a small park in San Diego or [...]
The Cleveland-Cuyahoga Port Authority is in full-court press mode with their plan to turn Cleveland’s waterfront—100-acres of wind-swept docks where the city meets the lake (pictured foreground left)—into a dense, walkable neighborhood where crowds coming for the big attractions will want to linger, take a dip in the water, shop, reside… The Port is the [...]
Advisers with experience in urban waterfront design have reported to the Cleveland area’s port authority that potential exists to make changes that would enhance the city’s attractiveness and business climate. Whether that can happen remains a long-term hope. Cleveland needs to look at what other cities have accomplished, from Baltimore to Bilboa, Spain, according to [...]
Development on downtown Cleveland’s lakefront must cater to all residents, not just the wealthy. And efforts to boost the urban lakefront’s appeal must start now. Those sentiments emerged Thursday night from a sparse crowd hearing the latest plans to energize and develop land from North Coast Harbor to the Cuyahoga River. That 100-acre swath features [...]
The rebirth of Cleveland’s waterfront should start north of Cleveland Browns Stadium and at North Coast Harbor nearby, with a dense mix of green space, boating activity and performance venues, a consultant to the Cleveland port says. That would jump-start development of three neighborhoods that architect Stanton Eckstut envisions along Cleveland’s downtown waterfront. Eckstut and [...]
“The great waterfront districts of the world share a stubborn insistence on quality design, a vision for grand public spaces and are often attached to neighborhoods that act as an intimate place to escape the crowds. The Port hopes to capture “the magic” of waterfronts when it vacates its prime placement where the Cuyahoga River [...]
“When people talk about things they like about Cleveland the city’s proximity to Lake Erie is often high on the list. But when people talk about what they dislike about Cleveland, they talk about this disconnect between the city and the lake. In the months and years to come there’s going to be a real [...]
“Christopher Axelrod has a vision for Cleveland’s lakefront. In it, “The Rockometer” shines like a beacon at the far north end of East Ninth Street, just east of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Part entertainment complex, part banquet space, Axelrod sees his Rockometer as the missing link, the complex that will [...]

“In Europe, the design of bridges has for decades been considered a form of art. America, however, is generally known for duller bridges that play it safe in terms of aesthetics — or ignore aesthetics altogether.
