Year-round and all weather activities and spaces!! tables with warmers, ice skating/sledding, etc. Covered play and eating areas for during rain. Cool features that activate during rain (“river” trenches, water wheels, etc). Bring-your-own-wood fireplaces! Great for socializing in colder weather while not spreading germs. A screened-in area for when it’s buggy by the river. Plenty of shade structures and trees throughout for those who can’t tolerate heavy sun (eg young babies, or people with skin cancer or medication sensitivities etc) Plenty of interesting kid self-play options on a playground area: sand, water, swings, climbing stuff, “house” play structures like at upper edgewater etc. Also, toddler climbing structures (eg not high). stroller parking! bathrooms scattered throughout and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. also kid-friendly bathrooms please! small toilet, low door lock on kid stall, small sink they can reach and operate on their own (or a stepstool-like feature they can climb), low hand dryers. lots of water fountains and water bottle filling stations. thank you for your consideration!!

I am a coordinator for the Lakewood Historical Society. Someone reached out to us to donate many sections of the original iron fence/rails from the Detroit Superior bridge. He is looking to donate them. I get get d at pe if is or put you in touch with him directly. I thought they could be used within the Irishtown bend development or you might know of who else to contact. He has photos and documents to prove where they came from.

This past summer I went to a movie in the park down in Columbus especially with a hill would make useful space and they had food trucks come by and used an inflatable screen

One way to explore this as a possibility is to work with us at Bookhouse Brewing, across the street from the proposed site. We could be the origin point for all alcohol service under a DORA arrangement, for example. In theory, the area could be expanded to include Merwin's Wharf and Brick and Barrel Brewing, as well.

It would be great to be able to purchase refreshments—including alcohol—that could be consumed within the park’s limits. This has been a huge success w/ some of the land managed by the Cleveland Metroparks (ex: Edgewater Beach).

Love that winter activation and usage have been taken into consideration with the proposed sledding hill. Additional year-round programming should be integral to future plans and designs, so this incredible public space can be enjoyed in new and unique ways throughout every season. Could the lawn, overlook and boardwalks areas be programmed year-round for holiday markets / festivals / live music / movie nights / other flexible events and activities? Is there a way to integrate any food or beverage stands to help further activate the space? (ex. shipping container food vendors lining W25th street at the top of the hill, or along the boardwalk).

Upscale convenience store. One where you can purchase a limited amount of produce, frozen foods, canned and packaged goods, sauces and spices plus beer, wine, trash bags. To best sum it up - a curated mini grocery store. The closest grocery store that is not a discount (SaveMor) store is Dave's in Ohio City. Sometimes you need just an item or two and don't want to go to a grocery store.

Maybe integrate the “club azteca” sign to appease the anti development complainers.

The owners of the Vietnam market are selling the building and land because they want to close the business and focus on other things.

The design of the public courtyard should incorporate elements to mitigate the wind tunnel effect that Lake Erie pushes on to the neighborhood in the winter months.

Is there designated bike parking proposed for the development? This should be included for both the apartments and for general public to use along the street, if not already part of the development plans/vision.

Winter activities and events. The area around Gordon Square always seems a bit dead in the winter. Something to continue to attract people during the colder months would be great to make it more lively and benefit local businesses. Christmas Market, winter beer garden, fire pits, ice sculptures, etc

Cleveland has a lot of green space and the neighborhood will be getting more soon with the Irishtown Bend Park. Activate the space and give a reason to visit it over others. Volleyball, basketball, space for food trucks, concert space, covered pavilions for picnic in the rain, art installations etc. Just something to activate the space and make it more than a grass lawn.

I live in the neighborhood, but don't own a car. I do a lot of walking, biking, and taking one of the many transit lines.

Hearken back to the original 1904 design. A raised first floor with steps leading to the entrance (and obviously an accessible ramp to its side) will give the structure height to express its importance along with an obvious entrance, benefiting the pedestrian experience.

Maintain the element of architectural ornament already existing in the facade today. Whether it is the ornament stylized as it currently is or a new contemporary take on ornament, it is important. It helps to both fit into the history of the neighborhood while still standing out in importance for its beauty and detail.

The development proposal does not match the existing buildings for respect for the pedestrian, providing the sense of a street "room," or providing aspects of placemaking. It takes a three story historic building with lots of architectural detail and substitutes a one story frontage on the street. It would be better to place the residences over the library. I do like the overhang that provides shade and rain cover but worry about the dry plants in the shade underneath. I do not see a transit shelter in the rendering. An overhang set back from the street does not replace the amenities provided by a three sided shelter placed where the bus can be seen approaching.
