Developers and public officials in Cleveland have proposed improvements to the city鈥檚 lakefront numerous times over the decades with little movement.
The region boasts several attractions along the Downtown lakefront, including the Cleveland Browns stadium, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center. But there has never been a safe and efficient way for pedestrians to get to those attractions from the rest of Downtown.
A recent proposal, which includes a pedestrian land bridge, comes on the heels of Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb's idea to form a new nonprofit specifically designed to shepherd lakefront improvement and development.
On Monday鈥檚 鈥淪ound of Ideas,鈥� we鈥檒l discuss the new plan and how it might, or might not, differ from plans of the past.
We鈥檒l also look back at the toxic train derailment in East Palestine which occurred six months ago.
91福利 Reporter Abigail Bottar will join us to talk about what鈥檚 happened in the last six months, and what work still needs to be done.
Then, we鈥檒l hear from a longtime resident of East Palestine who says some are experiencing health problems because of the derailment.
