No Plans For Greenvale

Please review the aerial photograph of the Greenvale properties purchased by South Euclid at the following post, City Funded Real Estate Venture.

The Sun Messenger on March 29, 2007 stated, "Mayor Georgine Welo said the plan now involves waiting for the sale of nearby Lowden School, which will be sold by the South Euclid-Lyndhurst Board of Education, perhaps by the fall." They quote Welo: "Maybe we can do something with the developer who buys Lowden School. Or, we can go in another direction. This may be our chance to expand Quarry Park."

The properties are not contiguous. One is across the street.

The speculative development scenarios the Mayor hopes for would have significant hurdles to overcome. The proximity of these properties to Lowden School does not appear feasible as an option, nor does the expansion of Quarry Park as the properties are not contiguous. There are many uncertainties regarding this gamble.

"Maybe" development is a stupid idea, especially since the tax dollars have already been spent for this lemon.

I'm sure City Hall is trying their best but their efforts seems dysfunctional to say the least. I mean for way less taxpayer money then they paid out to this slum landlord [$1.4M] they could have bought the land at Green & Anderson Roads and put in a real senior friendly park. I think agencies like the Cuyahoga
Soil & Water Conservation District, Friends of Euclid Creek, EPA, Metroparks, Euclid Creek Watershed District and many more residents would have supported such an effort and eventually benefited greatly. We need things that made residents proud of the area. Are we going to be proud of attached cluster homes? Ask yourself, is that something that makes you want to stay in South Euclid?
Then sell Quarry Park [a white elephant] to a cluster home developer. The developer could have negotiated with the slum landlord to expand the projects acreage. Maybe then we wouldn't end up with something like Cutter Creek that aims to shove 10 lbs. of YOU KNOW WHAT into a 5 lb. bag. Redevelop the brown-fields NOT THE green-space you knuckleheads.
Oh what the heck, it's all legal!
Stay tuned for more mistakes.
