Walk & Roll to the Beach
You’re invited to our FREE cookout next Friday! Come meet neighbors and our NWN team.
You can join our Walk & Roll along the way, on foot or on wheels! We'll start at Zone Rec Center at 3pm and take a leisurely path to W 73rd & Elton, W 77th & Detroit, and then the W 76th & Father Frascati tunnel to Edgewater Park.
Or meet us at the Upper Edgewater pavilions 4-7pm! Plan to eat from the grill (veggie options included) and enjoy the beach and the Lindsay Family Playground nearby. Bring blankets and chairs, if you like.
Please invite your neighbors!
Community Kickoff for Depot on Detroit
Northwest Neighborhoods is partnering with Flaherty & Collins Development on a proposal for 60 affordable apartment units on RTA-owned land just west of the West Blvd-Cudell rapid station. The proposed building, “The Depot on Detroit,” recently earned Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, and now we need your feedback for the design process.
We invite all community members to join our kickoff meeting! The meeting will also be recorded and shared in our Northwest Neighborhoods newsletter for your comments if you cannot attend. Northwest Neighborhoods will facilitate more community engagement opportunities in the near future.
This $18+ million, transit-oriented development will be located on RTA’s 26 Detroit bus line and steps away from the Red Line, Cudell Recreation Center, Cudell Fine Arts Center and Marion C. Seltzer Elementary School. Transit passes will be provided free of charge to property residents to enhance their mobility. The apartments will be income-restricted.
Proposed amenities include free RTA passes for residents, community room with kitchenette and computers, a fitness center, bicycle parking and on-site vehicle parking lot.
POSTPONED: Rags to Riches Fashion Show
The Youth Leadership Council’s fashion show has been postponed. Stay tuned for a new date.
The Right to Read FREE screening
Come see The Right to Read, a dynamic and inspiring documentary to promote literacy, produced by LeVar Burton. We will come together to promote the importance of reading and empower our community through the transformative power of books.
This event is proudly co-sponsored by Cleveland Public Library. A discussion with local literacy advocates will follow the film.
Admission is free. Register in advance to secure your spot. For more information, contact Rob Grant III at rgrant@nwneighborhoods.org.
