🚆 Transit-oriented development hits record high in Cleveland. Cuyahoga County reported $298 million in transit-oriented development (TOD) projects in 2024, reaching an all-time high. While TOD investments represent 33.6% of total building value added countywide, 92% of these projects are concentrated in Cleveland, with minimal suburban participation. Only four of 26 communities along high-frequency transit routes have seen TOD projects in the past six years, highlighting a suburban development gap. Officials hope to expand TOD across more communities to better connect jobs with workers, as currently fewer than one-third of Greater Cleveland jobs are accessible within a 90-minute transit trip.

WEWS and parent company Scripps offered little explanation, only stating Johnson "was no longer employed" and that they "take protecting audiences' trust very seriously." The attorney dismissed online speculation about reasons for Johnson's departure and promised Cleveland would soon hear directly from the weatherman, who has served the station since 1993.

🏠 Cleveland wants to tame wild Airbnb parties in neighborhoods. The city is refining legislation to crack down on short-term rentals that have become nuisance properties hosting underage drinking and even gunfire.

Council members are concerned about enforcement capabilities while carefully crafting rules to avoid potential legal challenges. "Our neighborhoods are not Disneyland," said Councilman McCormack, emphasizing the need to balance tourism with resident stability.
