Downtown Cleveland has a lot to offer, with its lakefront access, major sports teams, restaurants and museums. But protected bike lanes, something that is found in many other major cities, is notably absent.
Bike lanes that are buffered from traffic or separated by bollards have been popping up in more parts of Northeast Ohio over the last few years, but the first in the downtown core will soon be built.
Those protected bike lanes are part of the bigger 鈥淐leveland Moves鈥� endeavor, which puts an emphasis on multi-modal transportation and pedestrian safety.
Thursday on the 鈥淪ound of Ideas,鈥� we鈥檒l discuss two new projects in Cleveland that are aimed at improving pedestrian safety and making Downtown a more appealing and livable neighborhood.
Along with those protected bike lanes, a new trail will connect the downtown with the city鈥檚 west side. It's a path that is commonly used by Cleveland's running community, but has required those runners to cross bustling roadways and sidewalks scarred with potholes.
Later in the hour, we bring you another installment of our series, 鈥淭he Menu.鈥� This week, we鈥檒l step outside and plop down on some of Northeast Ohio鈥檚 best patios.
Annie Nickoloff, Senior Editor at Cleveland Magazine spoke with Jenny Hamel about some of her favorite spots to grab a bite to eat during the summer months. That includes patios, food truck parks, spots for a summer picnic and more.
