Cleveland, a city of rich history based upon an old river, suffers an identity based upon the conflict of the two banks which were at first inflamed by and pacified by the construction of bridges spanning the mighty river.
Currently there is a community driven effort to develop the currently shuttered lower level of the Veteran's Memorial Bridge (which once allowed rail service along Detroit Avenue to reach Public Square) and turn it into a public thorough way, allowing a cycling and pedestrian connection while granting a year-round use for public performances.
You can show your support by casting an online vote for the Detroit Superior Bridge in the This Place Matters Community Challenge hosted by the National Trust for Historic Preservation which may help secure the funds necessary for this endeavor.
