HARVEST FOR HUNGER CAMPAIGN
Harvest for Hunger is one of the largest annual, community wide food and fund drives in the Nation. It provides critical resources to local hunger relief organizations in 21 Counties in North East and Central Ohio. Hundreds of schools, non-profits, governmental entities and companies participated in this year’s campaign. An event was held at the Ariel International Center to thank those gracious sponsors involved and to announce a new record for the 2015 year.
WEST SIDE MARKET CHANGES
Changes are coming to the West Side Market. An announcement was recently made by local officials considering adding Sunday hours, creating Wednesday evening hours and charging for parking. An effort to tackle the market district’s parking issues could yield many additional spaces between now and 2017. A City Commission formed by Mayor Frank Jackson started considering some of these topics, two years before the market’s centennial in 2012. Ward 3 Councilman Joe Cimperman plans to introduce legislation to allow changes to parking.
PARKING PRICES INCREASE
Parking rates at City of Cleveland garages and meters have officially increased effective as of June 15th. Legislation that was passed in early 2015 permitted the Division of Parking to increase the rates in order to add additional revenue to pay for the maintenance of the lots and upgrades to the meter technology. Rates are up 25 cents to a dollar.
RECREATION CENTER POOL OPENINGS
Summer officially kicked off in the City of Cleveland with the opening of multiple indoor and outdoor recreation center pools, which are both free and open to the public. Indoor pools will follow regularly scheduled hours and outdoor pools are now open Wednesday’s through Sunday’s, from noon to seven-thirty, until the second weekend in August.
