Council Quick Takes

Cleveland Heights Moves to Secure Grants For Cedar Fairmount Improvements

City Council approves applications to help with matching funds required for $1.5 million federal grant

Cleveland Heights City Council is looking to make up $375,000 in required matching funds for a federal streetscape improvement grant through state and local grants. Council approved two applications for grants to help fund the Cedar Fairmount Streetscape Improvement Project. The project received a $1.5 million grant from the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency, but the city is required to match the grant with $375,000. City Councilman Dennis Wilcox said that the city is trying to secure as much of this as possible from other grants. The city is applying for $10,000 from the Bikes Belong Coalition and for an undetermined amount of money from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to help with the planned Cedar Glen Multipurpose …

This is a lousy plan. Hardly any real bike lanes. In 2013, in CH, *that* close to CWRU, there should be *dedicated* bike lanes. Instead, the regular lanes will be marked to indicate that bikers use them, too! That has a fancy word, "Sharrows". Which means, "shared-lane marking". There *is* actually some worthwhile (pedestrian) stuff in this project, but not *nearly* enough for the 21st century. …   more ›

Shop Local in Cleveland Heights For Small Business Saturday

To encourage residents and neighbors to shop locally, some Cleveland Heights merchants are offering deals this Saturday, and the City of Cleveland Heights is providing free parking all weekend.

Big Fun owner Steve Presser says every day is small business day. But there is at least one day per calendar year where local businesses get a special mention, and shoppers are urged to skip the big malls and visit the mom-and-pop stores. It's Small Business Saturday, and it's this weekend. Small Business Saturday, which is Nov. 24 this year, is “a day to celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for their communities,” the U.S. Small Business Administration explains on its website. American Express gets the credit for founding the shopping holiday, which got its official start on Nov. 27, 2010, according to the Small Business Saturday Facebook page.  Local businesses in Cleveland Heights provide a variety of holiday gift …

The City of Cleveland Heights is offering free parking at all on-street, garage and parking lot meters this weekend. You don't need to feed the meters Friday, Oct. 26 through Sunday, Oct. 28.

Plans for Possible 2013 Coventry Street Arts Fair Still in the Works

Organizers are discussing how they can put on a safe, successful festival in 2013, and are asking for input from the community.

If the Coventry Street Arts Fair comes back in the summer of 2013, it won't be exactly as residents remember it, said Steve Presser, owner of Big Fun and marketing director for the Coventry Village Special Improvement District. Presser had organized a public meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 16, to discuss ideas for the possible fair but announced the meeting was canceled today. "We’re not going to have it as people remember us having it – the closed street, and traffic shut down to cars. We're going to try to figure out something creatively, maybe incorporate Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Park," Presser said.

MYXX Sign Comes Down, New Owner Looks To Future

JDI Realty senior vice president says the company may split up the more than 9,000-square foot space into separate storefronts.

Though the MYXX sign has been removed, patrons still mingled in the Cedar Fairmount business Saturday, Sept. 29, one of its final nights in business.
