Ukrainian Museum Archives Partners with Holocaust Museum

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and the Ukrainian Museum-Archives (UMA) in Cleveland, Ohio, signed a cooperation agreement to digitize the extensive collection of books, periodicals and other materials in the UMA collection from the post-World War II Displaced Persons (DP) Camps in Austria and Germany. The ceremony was held on Monday, February 6 at 2 p.m. at the Museum. When the war ended, millions of refugees who had survived Nazi concentration camps were seized to work in the German government or were fleeing Soviet oppression. These included hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who established mini-societies in the camps during the five years that they were in operation. In May 2016, a Museum delegation visited the UMA to assess the scope and quality of the DP Camp collection there and in September proposed a cooperative digitization

Voting Taking Place for Tremont

Flag Colors Since 2014, Tremont West began to implement a flag program surrounding Lincoln Park and along Professor Avenue. In 2016, Tremont West was awarded funds to expand our flag program and with that we would like to introduce a Tremont flag. A volunteer stepped forward, Michael Moriarty, who had been a graphic designer prior to becoming an engineer with the Ohio Department of Transportation. The design is set, now we need to choose the color pallet. For easy voting, and a clearer understanding of the colors that are being presented, please visit: www.tremontwest.org by Friday, March 31st. Thank you to the Tremont Trek committee for the funds to expand our flag program to include a Tremont flag. If there is enough interest, Tremont flags will also be available for purchase to display on your home to show neighborhood pride!

project. In its proposal, Jaime Monllor, International Outreach Officer for the Museum, indicated that one of the Museum’s collection goals is documenting non-Jewish victims of persecution by the Nazis and their collaborators, “The UMA’s collection of Ukrainian DP camp serials, of rare published victims’ memoirs, and of other related personal paper collections are of great importance for, and a significant complement to, the study of the Jewish Holocaust and believe that to understand these events fully, this primary evidence should be preserved for future generations of scholars, students, genealogists, and others.” The actual work on the collection will be conducted by Archival Data Systems (AIS), based in Kyiv. Over the past decade, AIS has digitized more than 10 million pages of cultural-historical documents, working with institutions like Ukraine’s Central Archives, the Museum, Yad Vashem in Israel, the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute, the Shevchenko Scientific Society in Lviv and many more. AIS will be at the UMA throughout the month of February into March scanning the UMA collection. UMA Curator Aniza Kraus noted, “We are gratified to be working with such prestigious institutions like the Holocaust Museum and Archival Information Systems. Ukraine, we know, is interested in recovering its lost history which had been forbidden and suppressed during the Soviet Era. Digitizing the UMA collections will create a significant scholarly resource to help us better understand a troubled era of European History as well as the present day.” Congressional representatives from Ohio, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, national Jewish organizations, the Ukrainian Embassy to the United States, a representative from the Library of Congress and others attended the signing ceremony. Above, you see on the left Michael Grunberger, Holocaust Museum Collections Director and on the right, Ukrainian Museum Archives Director, Andrew Fedynksy signing the contract. About the Holocaust Museum: A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. Its far-reaching educational programs and global impact are made possible by generous donors.About Ukrainian Museum Archives: Located at 1202 Kenilworth Avenue on the north side of Lincoln Park, UMA was founded in 1952 and is a museum dedicated to collecting literature, recordings, artifacts and other items that represent Ukrainian culture, Ukrainian immigration to America, and the history of Ukrainians in Cleveland. UMA’s collection is one of the largest in North America.

MEMBER OF

In last month’s issue we reviewed the many housing-related activities in which Tremont West Development Corporation (Tremont West) participated in 2016. This month, we look at some of the other issues upon which Tremont West focused.Going Green In 2016 Tremont West’s board and executive staff spent a lot of time on parks and green spaces. The highest profile example may that a new gazebo will be built in Lincoln Park in 2017. The structure will be larger than the old one (which has deteriorated significantly). The new gazebo also will be better lit and offer wi-fi to park patrons. Tremont West continues to work with Cleveland Metroparks on the Towpath Trail segment that will pass through our community. The segment’s northern-most point will begin behind Sokolowski’s, continue down University Road (which will be permanently closed to vehicular traffic) and continue along the now vacated West 4th Street through Tremont Pointe, under Interstate 490 and into Clark Field. From there, the Trail will go south along the ridge under West 11th Street to where it will cross Holmden Avenue and connect with the existing trail through Steelyard Commons. In 2016 Tremont West received a grant from the Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing for a “Towpath Integration Plan.” The funds will be used to encourage residents to use the path, incentivize visitors to exit the towpath and experience our community, and provide amenities for hikers and bikers. The intersection of West 10th Street and University Road will be reconfigured to accommodate the towpath and the Camp Cleveland Park will be enlarged. Like a growing number of Tremont’s green spaces, the Camp Cleveland space will be managed by Cleveland Metroparks. In the near future, Tremont West expects the remediation of Clark Field to be completed, and that a significant array of new facilities and amenities will be put in place. As stated by the Friends of Clark Field a few months ago, the City of Cleveland is waiting for resources committed by the EPA to remove potentially hazardous agents from the soil in the park. Once that is done, an additional $2.7 million in upgrades are planned for the park. The Towpath Trail Extension will ring the western and northern borders of Clark Field. This segment, combined with the neighborhood (University Road) part of the trail, will constitute Tremont’s own Emerald Necklace. In other green news, Tremont West and Cleveland Metroparks continue to collaborate on the scenic overlook along Old Lorain Road and the park space south of Abbey Avenue. Tremont West also is working to finalize the development of a “green alley” near West 19th Street across from Abbey Park. Additionally, residents and visitors may have noticed a growing number of bioswales (planted troughs adjacent to sidewalks and other paved areas). These are part of a city-wide movement to reduce flooding and remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. Lastly, few efforts say “green” like non-fossil-fuel approaches to transportation. Toward this end, Tremont West worked with the city of Cleveland to have bike lanes drawn on West 14th Street. The organization also helped conceive and erect bike facilities and bike rental services at key intersections. Tremont West’s efforts to ensure mass transit opportunities to Tremont residents is another

A Busy and Productive Year: Tremont West in 2016By Chris Roy

example: Throughout 2016, Tremont West engaged continuously with RTA to preserve #81 bus line service. Keeping Tremont on the Map Tremont continues to be one of Cleveland’s most popular go-to places. However, competition from other communities (and downtown) is increasing. During 2016, Tremont West and myriad volunteers worked to keep Tremont at the destination forefront. One high-profile example is Walkabout Tremont: the re-branded and dramatically re-invented successor to the Tremont ArtWalk. This success story began in the Tremont West boardroom, with the formation of an ad hoc Arts Committee whose mission is to help Tremont remain a cultural leader among Cleveland neighborhoods. The Arts Committee’s first big endeavor was Walkabout Tremont, which has built on the ArtWalk legacy by blending gallery tours with music, street entertainment, church access, pop-up art exhibits, guided neighborhood tours, food & drink specials, and extensive promotional support. Twelve months per year on the second Friday of the month, Walkabout Tremont brings new spice to our community. Local residents, as well as visitors, also may benefit from Tremont West’s efforts to launch a Special Improvement District (SID) that could span the length of Professor Avenue. The SID model involves a small tax voted on, and paid for, by Professor Avenue residents and businesses. Collected monies would be used exclusively to enhance the Professor streetscape with new lighting, public art, additional safety and security, and upgraded roadways and sidewalks. As in previous years, Tremont West worked extensively to organize and manage an ever-growing list of special events. Taste of Tremont, Arts in August, Tremont Farmers’ Market, Tremont BrewHaHa, Tremont Arts and Cultural Festival and many other events would not exist without the efforts of the Tremont West staff, board members and a huge cadre of volunteers. Supporting Kids and Families A new Tremont Montessori school is on the way, following a lengthy planning process involving local residents, the City of Cleveland, the Cleveland Board of Education, Friends of Tremont School, and Tremont West. The current building will be demolished and a new school—built to Montessori standards—will be erected on the same plot. Through better use of land, materials, space and energy, the new facility will benefit everyone—local children most of all. 2016 also saw the rescue of the Historic Carnegie South Branch of the Cleveland Public Library on Scranton Road. This too involved much patient and persistent involvement from many parties: local residents, the Public Library, Tremont West, and the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative. A meeting to discuss final plans for the restoration work and an addition to the library is scheduled for the spring, followed by

an expected 12-18-month construction period. Last but not least, the Near West Recreation program—a joint effort among Tremont West, Ohio City Inc., Detroit-Shoreway and Metro West—continues to grow. The program now serves more than 1,000 youngsters on the near west side. It offers soccer, baseball, bowling, poetry and lego leagues (student-focused robotics competitions). Near West Recreation recently added basketball for children seven years and older. Maximizing Safety and Security Statistically speaking, Tremont continues to be one of Cleveland’s safest neighborhoods. However, incidents still happen, and no-one would disagree that any amount of crime is too much. Residents with immediate crime concerns are encouraged to call 911 or the Cleveland Police Department (CPD) at 216-623-5000. For general information, you can also call CPD’s Community Service Unit at 216-623-5220. And like they say, “If you see something, say something.” Throughout 2016 Tremont West worked to identify and implement new ways to make our community safer. In 2016, home safety audits continued: Anyone can contact Mark Pratt at 216-575-0920, ext. 110 ([email protected]) to schedule a free home inspection. Tremont West also worked with The Cleveland Police Second District and Arcelor Mittal to launch a Tremont Home Safety Program. This provides Tremont and Duck Island homeowners with matching funds for home security improvements. For more information, call Mark Pratt. As part of the Innerbelt bridge project, “bluelight cameras” have been installed around Abbey Avenue and in the new parking lots. These systems link directly to CPD offices. More cameras will be installed around the Innerbelt overpass once the area’s renovations have been completed. Lighting is a key part of the security equation. Tremont West is pursuing a variety of initiatives to brighten streetscapes—particularly alleys. In 2016 Tremont West worked to implement a community task force focused on reporting street light outages and trimming trees that obstruct lighting. Readers also are reminded that they can call 216-621-LITE (5483) to report a streetlight outage. Also notable is the imminent hiring of a full-time safety coordinator who will serve Tremont and Ohio City. According to Ward 3 councilman Kerry McCormack, this person will engage regularly with Tremont West, Ohio City Inc., and neighborhood residents, and be responsible for programs focused on lighting, cameras, home safety and increased police presence.Much More Community-focused activities and events such as Taste of Tremont, Arts in August and the Tremont Farmers’ Market rounded out Tremont West’s 2016. Many such efforts will continue in 2017 and beyond, even as new initiatives are undertaken to make our community better.

“DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE?”

A police officer can ask you to pull over when there is a reasonable suspicion an infraction was

committed. The best thing to do is:* Pull over and try to remain calm.

* If it is dark, turn on your vehicle’s inside lights.* Place your hands on the steering wheel.

* Do not reach into your glove compartment, back seat, etc., unless the officer instructs you to do so.

* Retrieve your driver’s license and vehicle registration once the officer asks.

Your complete cooperation will indicate to the officer that you are not looking for trouble.

Perhaps the police officer has stopped you for

committing a traffic violation and begins to write a ticket?

* You may explain your situation, but be careful how you protest.

* It is best to remain calm. Don’t do anything that

Tremont neighbors - Community members of all different backgrounds love Tremont and are proud to call it home. Maintaining a great neighborhood requires that safety is always a top priority. In order to take a proactive and community-based approach to neighborhood safety, I am working with Tremont West and community stakeholders on the following safety measures:• Hire a full-time safety coordinator. I am currently working with

Tremont West and Ohio City Incorporated, who will be hiring a full-time safety coordinator between the two neighborhoods. This person will wake up and go to sleep every day thinking about neighborhood safety. They will be responsible to dedicate an equal amount of time between both neighborhoods to develop proactive safety programs, expand on existing programs (lighting, cameras, home safety programs etc) and follow data driven crime information to guide resources. In addition, they will work with other staff members of both organizations to engage with residents on safety walks, community cleanups and other resident-based initiatives.

• Invest in proactive safety programs. Our community will continue to work together to expand on existing safety initiatives such as reporting defective street lights and finding areas that could use additional light, strategically placed safety cameras in the neighborhood, home safety audits etc. In addition, we will work to create new programs to establish proactive neighborhood safety infrastructure.

• Special Improvement District. Tremont West is currently exploring adding a special improvement district to the Professor Ave. area of the neighborhood. A special improvement district would include cleaning services, safety services, trained neighborhood ambassadors on foot and more.

• Establish regular meetings with law enforcement officials and local stakeholders. I am currently in the process of establishing regular meetings with law enforcement officials from various agencies and local stakeholders to share information and concerns, better connect community feedback to law enforcement, track and address crime trends and to have a more robust conversation about safety in our community.

• Advocate for additional police officers and more community policing. As the City of Cleveland looks to establish priorities for current and future resources, I will be advocating for more police officers, better police/community relations and more of a presence of police officers in our neighborhoods, including on foot and bike.

Tremont is a great neighborhood and our continued success will be achieved together. I ask that you stay involved in the happenings of the neighborhood and as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at 216-664-2691 or [email protected].

Thank you,

would make things worse.Once detained, can an officer check for other

vehicle code violations? * Yes, a simple traffic violation stop can result in other citations being issued. If you feel the ticket

is unwarranted, you should carry your protest to the Traffic Court, rather than argue with the

officer.

If you are stopped by the police on the street? * You may have been stopped and questioned

because the police officer believed there was reason to detain you, such as reports of a

suspicious person or criminal activity nearby, but a limited description.

* Remain calm and answer the questions. Many problems relating to interactions with police

officers are easily avoidable.

Some coffee beans, which are actually seeds, take up to three or even five years to bear fruit. If that seed is lucky enough to end up being brewed at Rising Star Coffee, then you too will be lucky enough to taste the fruits of labor. Over the last five years, the beans have matured and traveled great distances while Rising Star has also grown and spread throughout the area. The culmination of their growth has resulted in a variety of unique coffee offerings in Cleveland, Little Italy, Lakewood, Hingetown, and now, Tremont. Termed a pop-up, Rising Star’s newest shop is located next to Tremont Athletic Club in the Fairmont Creamery. The shop opened on January 17th, 2017 and has been serving coffee lovers distinctive areopress or pourover styles ever since. The growth of Rising Star cannot be denied and more is still to come. What initially began as a roaster for retail, the business has evolved into several spaces and partnerships. Besides Tremont, pop-ups are located in The Arcade, and inside The Bottlehouse Brewery and Mead Hall in Lakewood. Baristas serve coffee in the morning before giving way to the Bottlehouse bartenders in the evenings. This partnership also resulted in a brew merging a special blend of coffee and beer in to one. This combo-brew can only be found at Bottlehouse locations. Much of Rising Star’s growth can be attributed to the company’s values and employees like Brand Evangelist, Michele Kilroy. Rising Star believes in building relationships with farmers, making sure they are paid fairly for their hard work, and capturing

the personality of these relationships so that they shine through in each cup. According to Kilroy, “Our recipes and our growth decisions are always based on our roots.” Kilroy has been known throughout her career as a connector. Not only has she connected Rising Star throughout the Cleveland community, but she has also brought local brands to Rising Star. The shops are currently carrying bakery and granola from Fire Food & Drink, cocoa mix from Clark Pope Catering, and also Bearded Buch Kombucha. Even the coffee mugs are created by local artists. “We are constantly looking for avenues to remain dialed in to the community,” said Kilroy. Looking forward to this spring and summer, Rising Star has found two more intriguing locations. Starting March 15th, Rising Star will be the official coffee of Magnolia Cleveland. The pop-up will serve as a front for Magnolia’s speakeasy. Guests can enjoy coffee and doughnuts before supplying the weekly password and entering the secret door to the bar. Rising Star also has plans for the east side in the Van Aken District. The space is being redone to cater to both retail and commercial spaces. Shoppers will also be able to relax and sip coffee in the shared space food court. After 5 years in Cleveland, Rising Star has grown and developed much like the coffee beans they serve each day. Building a foundation in relationships, the once small operation has grown and traveled throughout the community. As both mature and expand, the benefits of hard work and commitment

are filling cups all over Cleveland. With no end in sight, Rising Star will continue to expand its roots in Cleveland.

Auburn-Lincoln ParkBlock Club members gathered at the studio of Angelica Pozo, Tremont resident, artist and author of Making and Installing Handmade Tiles: Creative Techniques for Making and Using Tiles in Artful Ways and Ceramics for Beginners: Surfaces, Glazes and Firings (see www.angelicapozo.com). As a Cleveland-based artist, she has been awarded an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship as well as an Arts Midwest/NEA Regional Individual Artist Fellowship. Most recently, Ms. Pozo was the lead artist and project manager for the Ohio Arts Council-funded public art project completed in Lincoln Park last year. The project involved year-long outreach to residents, businesses and organizations, who helped design, make and install a ceramic mural on the wall at the Gazebo in Lincoln Park. This month the Block Club met at the studio to receive additional hands-on training on how to make coaster-size tiles that they can purchase and that are sold to support cultural arts projects in Tremont. New public art projects will be announced later this year. A short business meeting was held and members were briefed and encouraged to support upcoming neighborhood events. They also were reminded to check the Safety Page of Tremont West’s web site or the Auburn Block Club Facebook page www.Facebook.com/auburnblock club to keep updated on safety concerns and to “turn lights on”, “put your junk in you trunk”, “don’t keep a quarter in your cup” to discourage would-be criminals. Upcoming events are always listed in the Inside Tremont monthly publication and on the TWDC website at www.tremontwest.org. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 20 at 6:30 pm (location TBA). If you are a Tremont resident and live on Auburn Avenue, Starkweather, Fruit Avenue, W. 14th, W. 11th or W. 10th Streets south of Kenilworth please join us. This is the year to meet your neighbors and engage in all of the fun community activities happening in Tremont. For more information on our block club or its activities, please contact Co-Chairs, Kate O’Neil – [email protected] - and George Brown – [email protected] – or contact Scott at Tremont West – 216.575.0920 ext. 106 – [email protected]. Please join for our next gathering on Tuesday, March 20th, 6:30pm.

Central TremontCentral Tremont neighbors met for the first gathering this year at the studio of Angelica Pozo, who kindly invited us back to help hand-paint coasters that will be sold to raise money for future art installations. Thank you to Angelica, as well as all who joined us! Before we began creating, the final results of the holiday food drive were presented – a huge congratulations is due to Central Tremont, which came in first place this year! We raised a total of 5,020 items to donate to local food pantries and hunger centers! Great work, Central Tremont! Julie also informed us that Post 58 has offered free memberships to Central Tremont members; however, she also reminded us that the $10 raised from memberships goes to a “hospital fund” that is used to cover the cost of coffee, donuts, and fruit on the second Sunday of every month for patients at the Wade Park VA Hospital. Please consider donating towards this fund as a sign of appreciation for the membership card. We will be voting for Block Club Chairs at March’s meeting. Anyone who is interested in running to serve as a Chair over the next year can email Lindsay ([email protected]). Please join us for our next meeting on Monday, March 6th at 6:30pm at Post 58 (2442 Professor Ave. – Upstairs Hall).

Duck IslandDuck Island residents joined together for a neighborhood potluck meal on January 27th at the local Forest City Brewery. The potluck provided a great opportunity to get to know our neighbors old and new, brought us together as a community, and to celebrate the new year! Many thanks to all who participated, and who brought food to share. Thanks to residents, Milton and Dawn Lorring, for organizing the event, and to Jay Demagall and the folks at Forest City Brewery for hosting us. The Block Club met on Tuesday, February 7th for a business meeting. Captain Tom Mandzak from the Cleveland Police Second District was present to listen to neighborhood safety concerns. The Duck Island Community Crime Watch Facebook Page is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/137839389905370/. Halley Novak of Horton Harper Architects presented plans for two houses on West 19th Street. Members voted 12 to 1 in favor (with 3 abstentions) of supporting all requested variances for both houses. Chad Kertesz of Osborne Capital Group and Bill Sanderson of Knez Homes offered a preview of a townhome development planned for the corner of Columbus and Freeman. Resident Elaine Borawski proposed a park committee to address issues in Abbey Park, develop a plan for improvements, and encourage more use of the park by neighborhood residents. The idea was well-received and it was offered that Tremont West may be able to assist. The membership was invited by local artist, Angelica Pozo, for a second year of community art—making at her studio. Angelica has led us in the ceramic tile mural project in Lincoln Park last year (where St. Wendelin’s Church and Haab’s Bakery are represented). This year we were encouraged to paint small tile coasters, which will be sold to raise funds for future community art projects. We have the opportunity to pre-purchase our coasters at a discounted price of $5 if we so choose. We joined in painting tiles, socializing, and adding some Duck Island flavor to the art-making project on February 16th. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, March 7th at 6:30pm at the St. Wendelin Parish rectory. For more information, please contact one of our Co-Chairs, Sammi Wingers - [email protected] ) - or Tyree Thompson - [email protected] . Please join us on Tuesday, March 7th!

Irishtown Bend The Port of Cleveland took a big step toward shaping a new vision for the crumbling Franklin Boulevard/Irishtown Bend hillside, which could become a 17-acre park on the Cuyahoga River with skyline views and links to the Towpath Trail and Whiskey Island on Lake Erie and the Red Line greenway. The Port board voted February 9th to appoint a design team for the project, led by the Cleveland office of the engineering firm of Michael Baker International, with the San Francisco-based landscape architecture firm of CMG. The study is being funded with an $80,000 grant from the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency, plus $10,000 each from Ohio City Inc. and the Port. LAND Studio, the nonprofit design and planning agency that led the recent renovation of Public Square, is contributing $25,000 donated by the Joseph and Nancy Keithley Foundation to enhance design quality. Our next block club meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 8th, 6:30pm at Brick and Barrel. Elections for Chair, Assistant Chair and Secretary will be held. We’ll also be joined by Jocelynn Clemings of the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) to present a new shipping plan for river traffic, and to discuss federal grants for roadway improvements and slope stabilization efforts for the Bend. For more information on the block club and its activities, please contact Acting Chair, Shawn Kenney at [email protected] or Scott Rosenstein, Community Involvement Manager at Tremont West – [email protected] – 216.575.0920 ext. 106. Please join us for the Wednesday, March 8th meeting and a social time to follow!

Lincoln HeightsThe Lincoln Heights Block Club held its February meeting on Monday, February 13th, 2017. There was one action item on our agenda. The membership voted to support the variances needed on the Ohio Awning parking lot which will be located on Barber Avenue now that an agreement has been reached between all concerned parties. We were presented with updates regarding the new façade material to be used on The Lincoln project by Dick Gray and Horton Harper Architects. Rather than brick, the building will now be finished in a dark grey colored fiber cement. It is hoped that ground will be broken on the project this spring. The first phase of construction is estimated to last between 13-14 months. A discussion regarding issues with delivery of mail by the USPS was had. It has been suggested that we join other block clubs in a letter writing campaign to the Postmaster General in order to get some resolution for the problems we have been experiencing. Numerous complaints have been put in by Tremont residents to the supervisor of delivery people to no effect. A motion was made and approved to send a letter to the Postmaster collectively from our block club and request his/her attendance at an upcoming meeting as well. Dick Gray and David Kroh both volunteered to represent Lincoln Heights in the Towpath Trail Integration Plan, which will hold several meetings over the next year. An invitation has also been sent to the Department of Public Works as well as Traffic Engineering to attend our March meeting to address several items which have been of concern over the last year. With that in mind, our March meeting will be scheduled earlier than usual to accommodate these guests’ schedules if they accept our invitation. We will meet on Monday, March 13th at St. Augustine’s at 6:00pm. Look for the meeting postcard as the date nears for more information about our agenda.

Metro NorthOn Wednesday, January 25th all neighborhood residents in the Metro North Block Club area were invited to attend a community meeting between Councilman Brian Cummins office, CPD 2nd District, Eden Inc., and residents to discuss concerns over crime and safety in the area surrounding the South Pointe building.

For more information on this meeting, please contact Tremont Safety Coordinator, Mark Pratt at [email protected] or 216.575.0920 ext. 110.

South of JeffersonThe February meeting of the South of Jefferson block club was held at the Roosevelt Post 58. We were reminded that the Tremont Safety Committee meetings are now held on the second Wednesday of the month at the Tremont West offices, 2406 Professor. Resident, Mike Koski presented Safety Updates. Mike summarized the Community Safety Meeting that was held on January 31st. His highlights of this meeting included the three major concerns: city cameras, increase lighting and excessive traffic speed. Mike informed the members that several new cameras were installed as part of the new Inner Belt Bridge project. However, there is a need for more cameras although cameras can cost up to $10,000 each. It was brought up that a camera is needed at the I-490 and West 7th Street interchange. Current street lights are designed to cover the road in light and not the sidewalks. Mike suggested that turning on porch lights can help light up the sidewalks. He also stated that if there is a street light out, to report it to the CPP. Captain Tom Mandzak from the Second District Police Department attended the meeting and updated our group on the traffic issue. He informed us that there are two police cars assigned to Tremont and are there to monitor traffic and handle other complaints. Mandzak also updated the members about the ongoing investigation of the recent robbery on Professor Avenue and hoped that in the near future, we will see more police personal on bikes throughout the area. He sees bikes as an approachable and less intimidating vehicle for residents and other visitors when they interact with the police. Matt Moss, Economic Development Director at Tremont West presented information about the Special Improvement District (SID) Proposal for Professor Avenue. Moss handed out a SID survey to all of the SOJ members at our meeting. He again updated the group on the details for this proposal stating that 60% of the property owners by frontage on Professor Avenue would need to approve this program. He projected that the budget would be about $55,000 for the full length of Professor Avenue – this figure includes rebates of $10,000 to $12,000. A major area to be addressed by the SID proposal was lighting and upkeep/removal of snow and ice on the sidewalks. Discussion included hearing about other areas of the city that currently have a SID project. If approved, Matt projected this program would be implemented next winter. The SOJ members were thanked for the paper products brought for Post 58. The membership was invited by local artist, Angelica Pozo, for a second year of community art—making at her studio. Angelica has led us in the ceramic tile mural project in Lincoln Park last year. This year we are encouraged to paint small tile coasters, which will be sold to raise funds for future community art projects. We have the opportunity to pre-purchase our coasters at a discounted price of $5 if we so choose. Our March meeting will be at Angelica’s studio. Jim Votava updated the group about the new gazebo planned in Lincoln Park. To donate - sponsorship forms are available at the Tremont West offices, 2406 Professor, or online at https://goo.gl/gvULia. Tremont West announced its membership drive and details for anyone seeking a Board position. Membership is required to vote at the Annual Meeting in May.

More details will be coming next month. Upcoming events included the showing of the Deer Hunter movie by the Tremont History Project, Brite Winter Festival in the Flats West Bank and the Tow Path Committee meeting. The meeting was adjourned followed by a social hour at the post.

Inside Tremont

Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of HARM’S WAY by avant-garde playwright/poet Mac Wellman. The play, set in a mythical America, follows the bizarre exploits of Santouche, a very angry person, as he attempts to make sense of his understanding of law & order in a land of other angry persons. The action doesn’t unfold in any specific time/place, but all the characters drink from the same poisonous well, which is definitely recognizably American. It might be anytime in the last 70 years, or possibly even in the next. HARM’S WAY opens Fri, March 24 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through April 15 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd. Tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors, $10 students. Reservations and information at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074. Tremont residents are admitted free for Thursday performances (Mar. 30, Apr. 6 & 13). Call ahead to reserve a seat!

Two original piers from 1888 Central Viaduct found in footprint of GVV Bridge The Cleveland area has a rich transportation history and Trumbull-Great Lakes-Ruhlin, the contractors on the George V. Voinovich Bridge project, just unearthed a little bit of it - literally unearthed it. During excavation of the area known as the west slope, the hillside leading from Abbey Ave. to the Cuyahoga River, crews uncovered two of the original sandstone piers from the 1888 Central Viaduct - known then as the first high level bridge in Cleveland. What makes the discovery even better, is the fact that TGR crews recently rebuilt two replica 1888 piers with original sandstone discovered while working in and around the west slope. The two rebuilt piers were to serve as an historical marker along what will be the Towpath Trail leading from Scranton Rd. to Abbey. Those piers now have company. The recently discovered piers will be cleaned up and left in place. The Central Viaduct was constructed during 1887 and 1888 and essentially consisted of an iron and steel truss on masonry piers. It served to connect the west side of Cleveland to the downtown area in the same location the GVV Bridge stands today. The Central Viaduct was used until 1941. During WWII the iron and steel from the old bridge was used in the war efforts and the sandstone piers left undisturbed. During the late 1950s, the old Innerbelt Bridge was constructed. As was the practice in the 50s, crews performing tear down were to take any existing structure to one foot below grade. Thus the newly discovered piers were dismantled to that measurement and covered in dirt. Part of the GVV Bridge project is to stabilize the west slope area. As gravity would have it, the slope is slowly moving toward the river. An aspect of the stabilization project is to remove nearly 95,000 cubic yards of dirt from the slope area. It was as this dirt

was being removed the piers were found. In fact, crews found a great deal of sandstone as work progressed in the area. Some of the sandstone has been repurposed as decorative benches and yet more of it will find a home in the Tremont Sideyard, the community park being built as part of the bridge project.Photos: Central Viaduct Swing Bridge - Photo courtesy of lakeshorerailmaps.org. The original high level crossing was opened in 1888 and stood until 1941. The center section of the bridge would swing open to allow ship traffic to pass by. The two smaller piers in the foreground were buried during the construction of the 1959 Innerbelt Bridge. Pier discovery - Two original piers from the 1888 Central Viaduct were recently found during excavation of the west slope as part of the George V. Voinovich Bridge project. The piers will be cleaned up and left in place.
