Pearl Road Public Meeting

You may recall a round of public meetings last May regarding the proposed streetscape redesign of Pearl Road in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. After residents voiced concerns over the proposed plan, the City went away to reevaluate their proposal and have drawn up a fresh plan. There is a public meeting at Mary Queen of Peace (4423 Pearl Road) on Wednesday, January 20th @ 6pm to go over the new plan, what to expect during construction, and we encourage residents to attend. CLICK HERE FOR THE EVENT FLYER

 

Valley Parkway Connector Trail

If you’re like us and spend time in the Metroparks you’ve probably noticed the missing section of the all-purpose trail between Ridge Road and Brecksville Road. The Metroparks are addressing this “missing link” and are hosting two public meetings this week (January 12th and 14th) to discuss the project. Check out the details HERE if you would like to attend.

 

FANDOM 216

“Bicycling fans in the Fandom of the 216 don’t watch as other athletes perform miraculous feats,” they say. “We have not pegged our hopes to games beyond our control. The journey is our game, and in our game everyone who rides, wins.”

If you’re into art, sport, or cycling….do yourself a favor and check out FANDOM 216 running now until February 20th. Pick up a passport, and get rewarded for riding you bike to the galleries. Want to do so as part of a group? Cleveland Critical Mass will be ending at Zygote Press on their January 29th ride.
