Dike 14 "Open House" This Weekend (5/4/02)

Aired May 1, 2002

This spring, a massive planning process is underway, asking Clevelanders what they would like to see along Lake Erie's shore. Meanwhile, the state wants your opinion on a particular piece of shoreline, not far from Gordon Park. It's called Dike 14. It was created by fill dirt dredged up from the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority like to continue to use the land for fill, but others say it's an ideal spot for a park or preserve.

This Saturday, May 4th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Greater Clevelanders are invited to see what Dike 14 has to offer, and talk about possible uses.

90.3 WCPN®'s April Baer spoke with Genevieve Ray, a Planning Consultant who is organizing public meetings about Dike 14, on behaalf of the state Department of Natural Resources.
