" Is his the third (?) campus proposal? It is lost on me and I live here. The "towpath" connector now thrown in to the mix does not have to eliminate the Elizabeth Severance Prentiss Center - pedestrians and bikes already use the back route to connect via I-90 over pass to Tremont and Steelyard. The article states:
"Boutros said the hospital system would work with its neighbors, the city and private developers through its recently established nonprofit CCH Development Corp. to encourage development at Villa Hispana and elsewhere."
Who compromises the board of this new CDC and who is funding it? I am all for green space and park development, but this new design smells like Ohio Canal Corridor aka Canalway Partners aka Tim Donovan back dealing.
The Brooklyn Centre neighborhood has suffered from false promises of development since the 90s. It would help Metrohealth to stop the bad YMCA deal from happening at Pearl and Selzer. Dr. Boutros has hinted at a hotel development. A hotel would make more sense w/the YMCA property now held by the County Land Bank. But, this is Cleveland and economic development is an oxymoron here."
