What did I miss? Mary Vanac of Cleveland Business Journal recently reported on cleveland.com that the Cleveland Planning Commission has approved use of land on our precious downtown riverfront for a training facility that will be used, perhaps, 180 days a year by maybe 18 Cavaliers players (”Cleveland Planning Commission OKs architectural plans for Cleveland Clinic, Cavs facility along riverfront,” Oct 7).
But your pages also recently shared an expert opinion that Burke Lakefront Airport, which has 100 flights daily, year-round, many of them with patients or transplant organs destined for hospitals that are near downtown, should be closed and the land used for public purposes (”Business leader wants Burke to close with ‘urgency’,” Sept. 21).
Puzzled, I ask, “What did I miss?” Will someone explain how these are both good ideas?
