Forgotten Cleveland and the need for bridges

Submitted by lmcshane on October 21, 2008 - 8:37am.

Yesterday, I drove through forgotten Cleveland--streets like Pershing, Bessemer, Harvard, Kinsman.

I had an appointment to be in Cleveland Heights at 8:30 a.m. I don't need to tell you that the Inner Belt bridge is out. I took the streets that most Clevelanders avoid--let's face it--because they are afraid to see a face darker than their own. I left the Metrohealth campus at 8:15 and arrived at the Severance Center Kaiser facility in 30 minutes.

I got to my appointment at 8:45 a.m.

So, what's my point? Rebuild the Clark-Pershing bridge. We need to build and repair real and symbolic bridges in NEO.

We don't need "Opportunity Corridors."

Opportunity for whom...

There needs to be more examination on recent land acquisitions and transactions in the triangle proposed for the "Opportunity Corridor."
