Over the past two years, Ingenuity Fest has showcased the Bridge as a major-event venue and Downtown amenity.   However extraordinary the venue, the Detroit-Superior Bridge is also an underutilized public space, unparalleled in terms of:

  • Its inherent architectural and historic character;
  • Its dramatic views of Downtown, the Cuyahoga River, Lake Erie and the city’s industrial valley; and
  • Its ability to link pedestrians and bicyclists to major Downtown and neighborhood destinations.

As this inspirational 4-minute video demonstrates, The Bridge Project has the potential to transform the way residents and visitors experience the city of Cleveland:

 

The Bridge Project

A planning study for The Bridge Project kicks off in January, and will require significant public input.  I’ll use "The Z-Notes" to keep you apprised of opportunities to contribute to this study.  I’m looking forward to the collective surge of ideas that will surely result.
