Warrensville-Van Aken Redevelopment

Warrensville-Van AkenThe third and final public workshop for the planning of the redevelopment of the Warrensville-Van Aken area is scheduled for Wednesday, February 27th.

The second of three public workshops was held on January 23rd. More than 90 residents attended, working in small groups to review maps of four options for redevelopment of the intersection.

The options showed configurations to improve traffic and to extend or relocate the rapid transit tracks. Each group provided feedback on the four options, including comments on transit, roads, buildings and open space. Based on information gathered from the public workshop, meetings with technical advisory groups, and traffic study results, the four options were narrowed to two.

Both concepts close Van Aken between Farnsleigh and Warrensville and relocate Northfield to connect with Warrensville near the Post Office.

Preliminary results from the traffic study show that this:
- Improves traffic flow by creation of a standard, four-way intersection.
- Allows for additional development in the area without negative impact to the surrounding neighborhoods.
- Reduces the wait time at the traffic light from two minutes to approximately 60 seconds.

Diagonal Transit Concept:
RTA tracks remain in their current location with an extension diagonally through the intersection. A bus/rapid transit station would be located near the University Hospital administration building.

Straight Transit Concept:
RTA tracks relocate to extend straight to Warrensville with bus/rapid station on the east side of Warrensville Center Road.

Both options will be further refined for the next public workshop to show how they create a safe, pedestrian- friendly area.

Owners' Corner

Rick and PaulaWe would like to thank you for all of your orders during the holiday season. And, we would like to express our appreciation for your patience with our weekly barrage of email promotions during November and December. We have found this method of communicating specific messages about our store to be highly effective.

We decided not to send out an eNewsletter in January to give you a break. Our plan is to continue to send out monthly eNewsletters and the occasional special announcement. We promise to be gentle with your email inbox.
