Cleveland trains set to make airport trips easier

No more train hopping at Tower City just to get to the airport or West Side Market! RTA’s new rail cars, rolling out by 2028, will finally let riders from the Blue and Green lines travel straight through—no more switching and lugging bags between platforms. This upgrade means smoother, faster trips for East Siders heading west and could even open up direct routes to the Waterfront. It’s a big step for Cleveland’s public transit, and it could change how we get around the city. What route would you want to see added first? #Transportation #Cleveland #RTA

West Side Market vendor faces backlash after speaking out

A vendor at Cleveland’s historic West Side Market says he’s being pushed out after raising concerns about rats and market conditions to the media. Jason Scott, who runs Greg’s Produce Stand, claims management hit him with hefty fines and a rent hike after he went public about the rat problem. He feels his freedom to speak up is being threatened, while market officials insist it’s about rule violations, not retaliation. This situation really highlights the tension between transparency and management control in our local institutions. How should vendors balance speaking out with following internal processes? #Business #Industry #Cleveland

Cleveland’s safe haven for healing and hope

When recovering from surgery or illness, most of us take a warm bed and a roof for granted. For Cleveland’s homeless adults, Joseph and Mary’s Home is the only place offering that safety net. Residents get more than just medical care—they’re supported in finding housing, learning healthy habits, and rebuilding their lives. With new renovations making the space even more accessible, this place is changing the odds for people who might otherwise end up back in the hospital or on the streets. What do you think Cleveland could do next to support those in need? #Safety #Cleveland #CommunityCare

Cleveland’s Superior Ave building gets a fresh start

A century-old building on Superior Avenue is getting a partial makeover to attract new owners and ideas. Once home to the Grossman Paper Box Company and more recently an insurance office, this four-story spot is being “white boxed”—stripped down and spruced up inside and out—so buyers can imagine anything from apartments to nonprofit headquarters. Its prime location near CSU and historic tax credit eligibility make it a tempting blank slate for creative investors. What would you love to see fill this space: new homes, offices, or something totally different? #Business #Cleveland #DowntownCLE

Cleveland teens bring hope on the coldest night

On the longest, coldest night of the year, Saint Ignatius High School students didn’t just talk about helping—they showed up for their neighbors facing homelessness. For over 1,200 Sundays straight, these teens have been packing meals, warm clothes, and care packages, then heading out in their blue vans to connect with people right here in Cleveland. It’s more than charity; it’s about building real friendships and being a steady presence for folks who count on them every week. What do you think makes the biggest difference—material help, or simply showing up and listening? #Safety #Cleveland #Homelessness

Cleveland transit faces tough choices

Cleveland’s RTA is running out of cash fast, and the impact could hit riders hard. With reserves set to drop from $120 million to just $35 million by 2026, the agency is considering a tax hike—something it’s never done in 50 years. To keep things afloat, they’re freezing hiring, skipping raises, and might even cut routes. Low ridership and skyrocketing healthcare costs are making things worse. If you rely on public transit, what changes would you support to keep service running? Would a tax increase be worth it, or should RTA cut back? Let’s talk about what matters most for our city. #Transportation #Cleveland #PublicTransit

Cleveland cancer patients face financial roadblocks

For many Clevelanders battling cancer, it’s not a lack of information or trust that keeps them out of clinical trials—it’s the cost. A new study shows that household finances, not race or background, are the biggest factor in whether patients can access potentially life-saving research. Things like transportation, lost wages, and childcare add up fast, making trials out of reach for many. If we want everyone to benefit from the latest treatments, tackling these everyday barriers is key. What practical solutions do you think could help more people participate? #Health #BodyHealth #Cleveland

Cleveland’s transit stations could get a major upgrade

Big changes might be coming to Cleveland’s transit stations thanks to a quiet land sale near the Puritas-West 150th Rapid station. Instead of plugging the $875,000 from the sale into the usual budget, GCRTA is setting up a special fund just for transit-oriented development. That means more possibilities for new shops, housing, or services right by the stations—potentially making public transit more useful and attractive for everyone. What would you like to see developed at your local station? Would better amenities or new businesses get you riding more often? #RealEstate #Cleveland #TransitDevelopment

Cleveland transit: Reinvent before raising taxes

Empty buses, long routes, and frustrated riders—Greater Clevelanders are pushing back hard against the idea of a new RTA tax hike. Most folks say they’re already stretched thin and want to see real change before shelling out more money. Many are calling for smaller vehicles, smarter routes, and a system that actually fits how people live and work now. Some still defend public transit as a community lifeline, but nearly everyone agrees: RTA needs a modern overhaul, not just a bigger budget. What would make you trust and use Cleveland’s transit system again? #Transportation #Cleveland #PublicTransit
