NEW *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Attended the streetscape presentation last night at the senior center.
Smaller streets, more and wider sidewalks and thousands of trees. Read the rest in the News-Herald.
One comment or suggestion .... Leave Veterans Park alone it perfect now, don't cut into here, change traffic this way leave it alone.
Also never heard the word apartments when Zaremba mentioned the hospital site redevelopment. Then the number 70 apartments for that site? In last nights presentation "189 apartments" were mentioned for downtown. Wonder what the final number will be?
Did anyone attend the Grassroots meeting in Geneva?

I wish I could clone myself. Two very important meetings.
Since this meeting is being held in Veronica Dahlberg's back yard, I wonder if she will attend. Maybe a representative of HOLA will attend. They could, you know, meet with officials and get input on how to help explain the laws to her group. If this group were truly interested in getting their people out of the shadows and either on the road to becoming a citizen or help them to return home and stop breaking the law, they should send someone to this meeting.
Probably not. Our legal system and the authorities aren't the ones they want assistance from.
Sheriff Dan..this might be a great opportunity to announce your retirement...bye and good riddance.
Dream a little? More like pipe dreams all that money spent to talk about trees and sidewalks? How do they want to screwup the Park?
I have heard councilmen say they wanted no more apartments in Painesville? I can only hope 189 was a misprint or misunderstanding on your part.
Mr. Rellik
The only one who benefits from all this is Paul Volpe and his company City Architecture. Follow the money.
Thoughs of us that have been around long enough realize the 189 apartments are only the start.
Sheriff Dan..you're representing the Sheriffs Office, how about wear your uniform like the other Sheriffs did. You can write up your deputies for walking around with a hat, but you're special. Well, maybe you were off duty and did this on your own time.
Wait, I saw your tax payer paid car in the parking lot. And even though you had to point out that you didn't support the group, how much tax dollars did you waste driving that taxpayer paid car and gas to drive there.
Doug Nagy said in the newspaper downtown should be a special experience? and a destination. Doug where is your destination now? anything "special" there?
Term, if the paper story is any indication of what that presentation was about. How many times did you want to get up and leave? Be honest. You sat through this joke?
How many councilpeople attended?
Was Joe Hada still proud of his vote?
Look you can put lipstick and a wig on a pig... Its still a pig,right? Businesses when will they come? The ones down there are on life support.
KAREN
Sorry Karen been busy, I went there with an open mind to see abit of Painesvilles future. Sorry this seemed to be a waste of $89,000 dollars. {$14,000} the city kicked in.
We have a city manager, assistant manager, city planner, city engineer, and yet we rely on others to show us a vision.
One person mentioned snow removel, No good answer. Please leave Veterans Park alone,it ain't broke don't fix it. I am sure how many there wanted to believe in the "Dream" how many didn't I just don't know.
The only councilman there was Hal Werner, also attending was Lori DiNallo and Jim Fodor.
The statements about apartments got my attention. We went from 0 to 70 now we're at 189? Why I thought council was against more apartments.
Hope it all works out. I still want this place to make it.
Shes not a pig just, a proud old girl that needs a makeover.
What great shakes do they have for the square? This town figures out how to waste more time and money then anyone. Whos in charge?
Who and where will the money come from to even fund this dream? Term the old girl needs more then a makeover. Karen may be right I wonder how the stores are doing downtown without the hospital?
Ha, give it a little longer, and it will be section 8 at the hospital site.
Speaking about the hospital. Arlene Becks is going around saying that the only reason Lake Hospital put in millions of dollars of inprovements shortly before their move is because they were trying to placate the city. Please. Dumbest thing I ever heard. They put in the money because they intended to stay, and then the city wouldn't work with them.
Now we have just more of the same on council.
You said the dumbest thing I ever heard, the hospital started the remodeling long after they planed on moving, they had bought the property by that time too.
7:03 makes a good point. Arlene might be overstating this. The question remains did Painesville's Administration do everything to keep the hospital in town Before the hospital decided to relocate? I've heard different stories, and it seems that the additude was "they aren't going anywhere?"
This move wasn't made overnight. Alot of thought must have gone into it.
The only way the city could have kept the hospital was to execute eminent domain and take the property that the hospital "wanted" for the expansion here.
Why?, because the people living in those homes did not want to sell at fair price and asked such exhorbitant amounts that the hospital refused to pay it.
A question for the nay sayers on this site, If the city had done that would you be instead complaining about that action?
For those of you not aware of it, our current city admin and council is against eminent domain and "taking" property for "public" good.
Another twist to the story? At this point most of us have no idea what happened behind the scene. 8:58 How do you know this?
The offical line has always been that no one at city hall was aware of the move? Now eminent domain enters the picture?
Again Painesville reactive instead of proactive. How much was spent to keep the hospital here after the anouncement?
Term,
The part about the eminent domain is very true, we sold our house on South St. to the Hospital they wanted the whole block, we sold for a good price and relocated two blocks away, we wanted the Hospital to expaind, this was why we sold, and there were some people that wanted a lot more money, most of them are still there, if you want to see something funny look up who ownes the houses on that block the houses of South and the ones on Liberty St.
YES,THE CITY NEEDED TO TAKE THAT BLOCK, BUT SOME BLAME CAN BE PUT ON A FEW PEOPLE THAT WANTED WAY TO MUCH....
This is 8:58, I know this because I know one of the owners that told the hospital they would sell, for $250,000, and no less.
Bye Bye Hospital
8:58 I guess my question was how you knew the stance on eminent domain? Would you think the city would have been more involved?
Ask Rita her stance, its not really that hard
