The Ward 8 Citizen - Cleveland City Council

Keeping you informed about our neighborhood!
TheWard 8 Citizen
Michael D. Polensek • Councilman,Ward 8 | Summer 2015 | www.ClevelandCityCouncil.org
Summer is finally here! I want to continue
to thank all those residents who continue
to turn into the Mayors Action Line at 216664-2900 complaints regarding potholes,
high grass, and vacant unkempt structures.
As I said before, all of us need to be more
aggressive than ever before addressing
“quality of life” concerns and complaints in
our ward.
Public safety is a major concern. As you are
aware, the Department of Justice (DOJ) issued
a report on policing in the city. As a result of
that report the Mayor entered into a “Consent
Decree” with the DOJ on June 12, 2015. To
say the least, there is a lot of work ahead. One
of the concerns is the cost of implementation.
Regardless, we need to move the Cleveland
Police Department into the 21st century and
it should have started long ago. Community
Policing, however, is a two-way street. We
must demand accountability from the
Administration and our “men and women in
blue” while at the same time we, as citizens,
and our children, must respect law and order.
Remember, the old street saying, “if you don’t
want to do the time then don’t do the crime.”
Get involved in your neighborhood. Watch for
future meetings and hearings regarding the
City’s “Consent Decree.”
In Ward 8, you are expected to cut your
grass and maintain your property to the
best of your ability. To see unkempt yards at
New O.H. Perry School to be
Designed with the Community
The Oliver Hazard Perry Community Advisory
Committee met for the first time May 5 to begin the work
of designing a new school for the Collinwood/Nottingham
community. At this first meeting, the District laid out
the expectations and timelines for the new school which
is scheduled to be built for the 2017 school year. This
committee is the first of its kind in the District and will be
used as a model across the city to help design other new
community schools.
The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD)
is in the process of building 20 to 22 schools and
refurbishing 20 to 23 others across the city over the next
five years. O.H. Perry is one of those new schools.
The new and renovated schools were made possible
when voters overwhelmingly approved Issue 4, a $200
million bond issue, in November 2014.
The Community Advisory Committee will help shape
the new O.H. Perry and make their recommendations
on design. The committee will also work with the
architectural firm once it is selected.
An All Community O.H. Perry Advisory
Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday,
September 8 at 6:30 pm at the Lithuanian Village,
877 E. 185th Street in partnership with the
E. 185th Street Neighborhood Association.
occupied homes is absolutely uncalled for.
None of us like cutting grass, but nonetheless,
it is a chore we are expected to do in order
to keep our neighborhood looking good. If
everyone does their part we will have the
community we can all be proud of.
“ My message to Mayor Jackson and
Council leadership, whether it is related to
safety, streets, abandonded homes, code
enforecment, high grass, etc., is that
the City MUST do a
better job in addressing
Quality of Life issues ”
My sincere thanks to our partners at the
Cuyahoga County LandBank on their efforts
to obtain abandoned properties in our ward.
They have been instrumental in working
with our local development corporations
in securing re-usable properties for future
rehab and have razed others. Once again, any
abandoned and/or unmaintained home on
your street should be called into the Housing
Hotline at 216-664-2007.
Speaking of the LandBank, they had
partnered with NEON (Northeast Ohio
Neighborhood Health Services, Inc.),
our Collinwood Health Center, along
with Collinwood Nottingham Villages
Development Corporation, my office and
other equity partners, to rehab the historic
“Row Houses” just to the east of Collinwood
High School at 15300 St Clair Avenue for
housing for veterans and their families. This
project not only saves the property from
demolition but will also provide safe housing
for our Veterans who need help. Thanks to
everyone involved.
Street cleaning and repair has been an
ongoing concern city-wide and especially
with the members of City Council. The City’s
Department of Public Works MUST do a
better job in addressing community concerns.
At the rate they are going they will be filling
chuckholes in October from the beginning
of this year. Street cleaning is virtually a
memory from the time when street sweeping
was done monthly. This must change.
My message to Mayor Jackson and
Council leadership, whether it is related to
safety, streets, abandoned homes, code
enforcement, high grass, etc., is that the City
MUST do a better job in addressing Quality
of Life issues. Residents are not happy and
neither is this Councilman. It is all about
service. Our citizens are paying more taxes
and fees than ever before and getting less

for it. That is unacceptable. I will continue
to do my part to stress that we cannot have
a “Tale of Two Cities;” one – Downtown
– getting all fixed and spruced up for
the RNC Convention and the other – our
neighborhoods with growing despair and
a lack of basic city services and initiatives.
That won’t cut it anymore.
On a positive note – please join me at
Euclid Beach Park for the MetroParks
Summer concert series, which runs now
through Friday, August 14. They have a great
lineup of entertainment. Don’t forget the
Annual Glenville Festival and Parade to
be held on Saturday, August 8th at
Sam Miller Park on East 88th Street at
St. Clair Avenue. This is a true family events,
so bring the kids and the grandkids.
My sincere thanks to the Northeast Ohio
Regional Sewer District for completing the
work on Lakeshore Boulevard. The area
between Marcella Road and Euclid Creek
should be completed by the end of August.
I am very appreciative of the patience and
understanding of the motorists who had to
maneuver the Boulevard. Finally, we are in the
home stretch. In addition, the critical streets
of Mandalay Avenue and Saranac Road will be
resurfaced this year. Eddy Road and E. 152nd
Street are set for 2016.
Many of you have noticed the work
beginning on the new “Veteran’s Park” at East
174th Street and Lakeshore Boulevard. Work
will continue through the summer and fall
to create the first ward-wide veteran’s park
in memory of all those who served from our
community in our Nation’s Armed Forces.
Dedication is planned for the Spring of 2016.
I continue to work with my colleagues,
Councilmen Jeff Johnson and Kevin Conwell,
as well as the City Planning Department
on the St. Clair Avenue Corridor project.
Community meetings are being planned. In
the meantime, our focus is to raze blighted
properties, demand meaningful code
enforcement, and to push for prosecution of
absentee landlords. We are also working on
a redevelopment plan for the East Side Market
located at E. 105th and St. Clair. However,
we need property owners, stakeholders,
businesses and concerned citizens to become
more engaged. The same holds true for
East 185th Street where we are working with
the City of Euclid on a joint transportation
and development plan for the corridor.
Watch for future meetings and updates on
all these projects.
Never say that we aren’t busy in the Greater
Collinwood and East Glenville communities.
See the SCOOP ON SUMMER GUIDE at
www.scooponsummer.org which lists all
our neighborhood activities for the summer.
WOW! What a list! Hope to see you at many
of the events. You may also reach me at
