“We are discussing the greenway and highways in general,” said City Manager Janice Casteel.
Casteel, the city planner, engineer and others took Federal Highway Administration visitors to Raider Drive where the landscaping was taking place.
While hundreds attended a luncheon in November commemorating the 10th anniversary of the greenway, planners now are getting some comments that question any future publicly funded parks and greenways.
Members of MainStreet Cleveland were startled to learn that some people have spoken out against future public-funded parks and greenways.
