Existing bridge towers are relocated on the east bank of the Cuyahoga River flanking a new folding 'drawbridge' auto and pedestrian deck. In addition to reusing the most recognizable elements of the Columbus Road bridge, the consolidation of infrastructure on the east bank promotes a continuous natural riverfront between Irishtown Bend and the Scranton Road peninsula on the west bank. The new placement of relocated bridge towers emphasizes gateway onto the Columbus Road peninsula where several other early-century industrial relics remain today.

|re|Design Cleveland Charrette 3
location: Cleveland's District of Design
intent: Possible solutions for iconographic waste receptacles for the district. Submissions could be site specific (please locate site with information and place image of submission on site) to mark a specific area or could be generic for the entire district. Solutions could implement signage, be active, sort waste materials, whatever you can dream up.
submission form: Maximum of 2 (800x600 dpi) electronic images (jpeg preferred), 100 word max description.
deadline: 2007.05.31
registration fee: None
prizes: A creative outlet no doubt stifled at your day job.
judging: Alright, I want to be honest. Until we get enough submissions to start being selective then we are just going to post everything. If we eventually get to the point where clear winners can be selected, etc, then we may start getting choosy and then even, possible, start working on prizes of some sort.
overall timeline:
2007 05.01 - Charrette release (I know it was late, sorry)
2007 05.31 - Submission deadline
2007 06.07 - Submissions posted online
2007 06.14 - Collection of favorite submissions will receive additional attention
These images are of generic trash cans and in no way indicative of suggested design, in fact, they are up because we found them silly.
