Yes, this is a great example of how a new building should be added to a historic district. It’s a well-executed, modern design that reflects the time in which it’s built, while complementing the scale, massing and fenestration of the historic context.

Yes! This used to be a dense thriving mixed use street with businesses on the ground floor and apartments above. This project will help restore this important business and residential mixed use corridor

Greenlight this project and keep them coming! More housing is sorely needed in this city, we should be encouraging as many of these developments as fast as we can.

Parking garage entrance/exit could be on W 45th, a 2-way street for better circulation. Exterior could incorporate more brick like the 41West project to better blend into the historical community. Also street trees would help. Otherwise, a great addition to the neighborhood with great density.

Add another small retail space at corner of W 52nd. Also agree with Gavin: a few street trees would go a long way to liven it up.

This absolutely fits! Density is a good thing in urban areas! The architecture is tasteful and respectful. Well done!

Medium density (and high density) housing belongs everywhere in Cleveland! We desperately need more residents to support the tax base and pay for infrastructure. Townhouses and even apartments exist on Clinton, so this is very much within the character of the neighborhood and will help support neighborhood vitality.

Townhouses certainly belong on this section of Clinton, as there are 4-unit examples on either side of this project. I do think that 9 units is pushing the envelope, 4-5 units here seems more in line with the existing townhomes in the area and would provide for more greenspace for residents.

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).

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.

I'd like to see it taller! We need more people in the area to continue to patronize the businesses that are locally owned and contribute to the local economy.
