What I suggest is parting company with the load of disingenuous, crony, dime store shopkeeper pols and Union Club money shitsacks who use this city a a Monopoly board let some people who aren't in their Rolodexes actually make a few bucks without busting their balls and sending a pack of harrumphing dolts to make up violations, steal their land, and turn it into a "soon to be developed for yuppie jerkoffs and lawyers!" Dresden-esque clay and asphalt deserts. Just a suggestion.
The proposed kiosks (end of video) – I dislike the hodge-podge look of the kiosk. Consider using some form of unifying element of design. Also, consider incorporating a high-end, quality material, such as granite to invoke the classicism of the Court of Honor/Mall.
The Group Plan Commission also needs to move quickly at establishing the educational/promotional space discussed for the Downtown Cleveland Public Library’s 10th floor.
The Commission needs to conduct public meetings downtown, east and west side, AND in the southern portion of the county - where most of the population of the region migrated to these past 20 years.
Use of the term “Malls” is OK, but drop the references to “Malls A, B and C” and focus on what is unique to Cleveland – introduce the term used when the Group Plan was conceived – “Court of Honor”, which referenced the Court of Honor displayed at the Chicago World Fair in 1893.
Suggestions regarding the VIDEO and overall PROJECT.
Framing the project – this is a regional asset/project, promote the region -- You’re Changing [insert – “Greater”] Cleveland
You’re Changing Greater Cleveland
If we want regional buy-in and support then we can’t go to Strongsville, Lakewood, Solon… and talk about “Cleveland”, we should be talking about “Greater Cleveland”.
The video is a great start to wrapping our collective heads around the challenge of promoting in a very postive way the opportunities that the Malls, lakefront, and Cuyahoga River present. Back in 1903 the Group Plan was big, bold and perceived by all to take the best of civic space ideas and to implement them to fit Cleveland's unique setting.
@nNatalieWuzLike You are changing Cleveland, and Cleveland is yours. It can be used interchangeably. It doesn't mean the same thing. But, mentioning suggestions mean, "you are" changing Cleveland. and if you suggest it, it's "your" changing Cleveland.
0:43 I hate it when people pronounce it Cuya-hoe-ga, I always say Cuya-ha-ga. Anyone else??

Architectural & City Planning All-Star Team --
Daniel Burnham reference – expand and include the other prominent members of his “team”
Arnold William Brunner
Daniel Burnham
John Carrère
All three are extremely notable and the fact that the three of them worked here in Cleveland, together on this project is significant.

Is 'Your' misused on purpose?? Because he states "YOUR!" and then "YOU ARE!" ..... not the same thing.
