For the past several months, residents and business owners in the Tremont community have been gathering together to talk traffic.  Mr. Rob Mavec, Commissioner of Traffic Engineering from the City of Cleveland, and Councilman Joe Cimperman have been meeting with members of the community prior to the past few South of Jefferson Block Club meetings.  The original purpose of the meetings was to discuss traffic on Starkweather Avenue.  The meetings have evolved and grown to include much more than traffic safety in the South of Jefferson area.  The meetings have included discussions of speeding along West 7th Street, adequate signage throughout the neighborhood, and overall traffic and pedestrian safety.  So, all are welcome to attend the November South of Jefferson Block Club meeting to further discuss traffic in Tremont.  Rob Mavec, Councilman Joe Cimperman, and Jim McKnight (TWDCs consultant for the TLCI project) will all be in attendance.  The traffic discussion will begin after a short session of business by the Block Club.  Please join us on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 7:00pm at Post #58 (2442 Professor Avenue).

Cleveland Recycles, November 15 Celebrate America Recycles Day at the Zoo Everyone knows "Cleveland Rocks!" We want to prove Cleveland Recycles! It's time to dig out your recyclables including old computers and cell phones (you know, the ones collecting dust because you don't know exactly how to dispose of them). The Zoo will make it easy for you to recycle them on November 15 because we're hosting "America Recycles Day."   Cell Phones Recycled at the Zoo on St. Patrick's Day Bring something to recycle and we'll give you a coupon for one free Zoo admission (with the purchase of a regular admission of equal or lesser value). Eligible recyclables include aluminum cans, newspapers, magazines, cell phones and accessories, computers and inkjet and toner cartridges. We'll also offer document shredding and recycling free of charge. As part of the Zoo's Cans for Conservation Fund, all proceeds from the day's recycled aluminum cans will benefit the Mbeli Bai Gorilla Project, a conservation initiative which studies endangered gorillas in Nouabale Ndoki National Park in the Republic of Congo.
