Clear as Black and White - "disadvantaged" neighborhood pc of Clark Freeway is back and has 13 signal intersections -

The Clark Freeway was stopped from going through the Buckeye-Kinsman-Shaker Lakes  40+ years ago - but the fair minded folks at University Circle and the Cleveland Clinic  have the desire to spend 350 million of taxpayer money to impose the western half of the Clark Freeway through the Disadvantaged Triangle.

New highways destroy neighborhoods - we knew that in the 1960's but lie about it today.  We use the BIG LIE [1] and call it an OPPORTUNITY CORRIDOR.     Read about the Clark Freeway at CSU's ClevelandMemoryProject [2] - thank you Linda Doll.

ODOT has been staying up nights to figure out how to "improve" the community by wiping out the community with a new highway.   [3]

The latest "plan" includes a dozen signaled intersections between E55 and  Cedar.

Why not improve the existing grid - which has the potential to have fewer signaled intersections?

Is part of the present plan the intentional disruption and dissolution of the community?

This is a list (from Greater Cleveland Partnership web site [4]) of the folks in Cleveland who are so very earnestly concerned with providing "opportunity" for the folks who are going to lose their homes and their community continuity:

 Here's the description from the gcp web site [4]:

 

The Opportunity Corridor, a catalytic $380 million investment to strategically redevelop more than 200 acres of underutilized land along on the southeast side of Cleveland, is the epitome of a regional public-private partnership. The 21-member steering committee [5] embodies a diverse wealth of knowledge, experience and resources needed to navigate the various challenges and constraints facing the project.

 

Co-chaired by GCP Board members Terrance Egger, publisher of The Plain Dealer, and James Ireland, managing partner of Early Stage Partners, the committee encourages public dialogue and input to achieve consensus support of all matters related to the planning, design and construction of the corridor in a manner that is beneficial to the neighborhoods within the corridor and the City of Cleveland as a whole.

 

DOUBLE SPEAK!
