Matt Koriath and Lenny Stover

The effort to build the Redline Greenway, a project that will tie together eight neighborhoods on Cleveland's west side, has received a significant financial commitment.  Lenny Stover and Matt Koriath of the Rotary Club of Cleveland explain their vision for the Redline Greenway.

It will be more than three miles of parkway that connects several Cleveland neighborhoods to downtown Cleveland. Lennie Stover and Matt Koriath of the Rotary Club of Cleveland have already done a lot of work toward making the Red Line Greenway, a biking and hiking trail a reality.

The Rotary Club of Cleveland has already invested millions in labor to maintaining the West 25th St. rapid transit station over the past 30 years.  When the Red Line Greenway is established, Stover says at its highest point, on the Cuyahoga Viaduct, it will be the highest active Greenway in America.

Cleveland Foundation Celebrates Centennial With Gifts

   

 The Cleveland Foundation is celebrating its centennial year not by receiving gifts for its 100th birthday, but by giving away "Cleveland Foundation Day" gifts to the community.

The Cleveland Foundation was the first and remains one of the largest community foundations, distributing $1.7 billion over the years. Executive Vice President Bob Eckardt explains in this interview that different gifts will be given away each month this year, beginning with free rides on all RTA buses and trains on Thursday, January 16.
