A resident offers his vision of the Mayfield-Green area at a "public hearing" held by the South Euclid City Council. Do you agree that the City should purchase the shopping center property and homes on adjacent streets to make way for another Crocker Park or Legacy Village? Would you find it appropriate if the City exercised eminent domain or other forceable tactics to obtain the properties? According to the newspaper report, only 14 people attended the "public hearing". South Euclid Oversight is curious as to why the City did not use their newly implemented "reverse 911" program to contact citizens about this meeting. However, they did deem it necessary to utilize "reverse 911", two times, to alert the public of the pep-rallies being sponsored by the South Euclid-Lyndhurst School Board to gain support for the upcoming ballot levy.

That whole Mayfield/Green (and Mayfield/Warrensville) intersection needs to be redeveloped. The shanty-town look along Mayfield really creates a depressing view of SE. I think the section from Green down to Warrensville looks even worse.
The big question is this: is there enough demand for retail in this area that we can redevelop profitably? I really question that, especially if you look at how much retail has been developed in the 5 mile radius over the past ten years.
I'm still of the opinion that Coral is going to end up scaling back their Cedar Center redevelopment project due to the decline in retail demand going on right now.
Hey, I have an idea! Let's see if private investors have enough interests by themselves to redevelop the area!
Another use of reverse 911 recently was Bill Zelei's notification about the Hillary Clinton rall at Brush yesterday.
Dr. Zelei would serve the community better preventing fights at Brush and expelling the troublemakers instead of getting deeply involved in national politics.
The South Euclid city administration and her council are rolling the dice. They and many others feel it is warranted since sitting pat for many years has left us a 2nd class city. That fault is to be shared by many but certainly not soley on the current administration. But, they will have to answer for the recent developments that are questionable to some. The first post here sighted blight on Mayfield and oversaturation of retail. A agree with this and that is why mixed use development with an emphasis on living quarters on what was once "blighted" retail strips is an interesting alternative. I hope this is what we get at Ceder Center but I don't want to pay for it or have city services suffer.
7 come 11....mommy needs a new pair of shoes.
