Current Charrette:

In order to actually keep this thing moving along the fine folks at LAUNCH Cleveland have joined w/ |re|decle to celebrate the community based idea of taking back the streets. With this in mind a whole new series of charrettes is being offered at LAUNCH based upon the premise of studying existing street conditions and questioning what would make them better. Now that LAUNCH (with its much smoother running web presence) is offering hosting space this site will begin to dwindle towards nothingness as the new location takes over. Do not fret, the events here are being archived and saved for posterities sake. In the mean time jump on over to the new website and take a look at the new charrettes.

Updates:

Updates appear below in chronological order. You may organize posts by specific charrettes (to the right) or browse through them in order of posting.

Charrette 2007.04.01 Solution 'A'

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.
