                  (Plain Press May 2024) At its April 15^th meeting, Cleveland City Council approved accepting a $100,000 grant from the Project for Public Spaces to conduct a West 29th Street Open Street Program that may ultimately create one or more pedestrian plaza(s) in area(s) along West 29th Street north of Clinton Avenue and South of Detroit Avenue.

                  The street is part of what many refer to as Hingetown. The area includes a variety of food and beverage shops, novelty shops, restaurants, work out facilities, and the Transformer Station which features the work of various artists.

                  The West 29th Street Open Street Program could result in designs and installations of one or more pedestrian plazas. Local residents, property owners, tenants, and other stakeholders will be engaged in the study, selection, design, programming, and installation of the pedestrian plaza(s) in the area(s) selected along West 29th Street.

                  The on-street parking on W. 29^th is often completely full, with cars roaming the neighborhood looking for open parking places.
