I removed some anti-Shoreway bias from the subsection "Lakefront". First off, the Shoreway is not a "high speed expressway" by any stretch of the imagination. Its speed limit is 50 mi/hr. Other freeways in Cleveland are 60 mi/hr with a few being 55 mi/hr.

The former text said "pedestrians must cross today over bridges in 1 or 2 places". There are more than 2 bridges crossing the shoreway to the lakefront that pedestrians may use. In any event, language like "1 or 2" is not acceptable in an encyclopedia.

The Shoreway is not the largest impediment to lakefront development either. The Port and cleanup of polluted land are a few that do come to mind.

[edit] Rename to "Downtown Cleveland future plans"

This article talks a lot about future plans for downtown Cleveland--moreso than it talks about what downtown actually is today. Plans from the mayor's office should be in an article entitled as such. I'm proposing renaming thsi article to "Downtown Cleveland future plans". Joshua 17:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I moved the page back, and cleaned up the Lakefront plan section. The article covers downtown history, current contitions, and plans for the future. If you feel it's lacking in some areas, feel free to expand it. - EurekaLott 19:17, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Thanks to the uploader of the current pic of downtown, that's been bothering me for a while that we haven't had a current picture to balance the 1909 pic.

[edit] Theater District

I removed this from the recently renamed Theater District section:

"ideastream shares the space with Playhouse Square's Arts Education Departmentin a partnership that unlike any in the U.S."

The "space" is One Playhouse Square. I don't think this information is very notable, and it kind of reads like an advertisement. If anyone thinks it merits inclusion in the article, put it back in, but please provide some more context. Confiteordeo 22:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
