Under the guidance of Artist in Residence, Angelica Pozo,
Tremont friends and neighbors have been hard at work on
a community mural for Lincoln Park since February. The
time has finally come to celebrate the fruits of our collective
artistic endeavors. On Tuesday, June 21st , 2016 we will
have a brief dedication ceremony at the center of Lincoln
Park around 6pm. This will take place during the Tremont
Farmers Market. So please plan to come to the Market
and then see what a beautiful work of art we have created
together as a community.
Around 450 of Tremont community members have been
involved in the process. Over 800 small tiles were decorated
by the community through the block clubs, church groups,
or at public tile decorating sessions at various local
establishments. Another dozen participants formed the
Illustrators Core Group or amateur and professional artists
depicting over 60 images of historic Tremont onto larger
tile panels. But our real project troopers are the couple
dozen folks who got addicted to making art together and
signed on as Art Crew Core Group, meeting weekly for
the past four months to help with the many other phases
necessary to create this work of public art.
The heart, soul and history of Tremont is in this mural. So
mark your calendars for Tuesday, June 21, 2016, 6pm at
Lincoln Park. So join us as we applaud the beautiful work
you and your neighbors have wrought. Come search for
and show off your tile(s). We hope to announce a location
to convene afterwards for a celebratory toast.

Trees Come to Tremont!
On May 11th & 12th of 2016 9 trees (7 elm & 2 oak) were planted in Lincoln Park
along Starkweather and W. 11th Street by incredible participation from Western Reserve
Land Conservancy, Holden Arboretum, Tree Stewards from around Northeast Ohio,
and Tremont residents. These trees were provided through Western Reserve Land
Conservancy through their Reforest Our City Grant program, which aims to revitalize
Cleveland’s urban core through implantation of The Cleveland Tree Plan. Tremont West
Development Corporation hopes that this grant continues to build capacity for communitywide greenspace enhancement projects.
To learn about the Western Reserve Land Conservancy visit http://www.
wrlandconservancy.org/. For more info about the Holden Arboretum go to http://www.

Your Monthly Update from the GVV Bridge
Project Team
RiverSweep 2016 Wrap -Up
Thank you, RiverSweep volunteers, for all your hard work and participation on Saturday,
May 7th!
We had a great turnout of volunteers this year in Tremont/Duck Island – 102 adults and
15 children/youth volunteered in our neighborhoods. A RiverSweep staffer commented
when the waiver forms were turned in: “You have the favorite neighborhood – nobody gets
volunteers like you do!”
From Holmden Hill to Willey Hill, University to Steelyard, Wade/West 25th to West
3rd/Quigley, several large dumpsters were filled, many tires were hauled from the
neighborhood – and countless bags of garbage, litter, building supplies, and debris were
cleaned-up. And you helped make it happen!
Thanks again for all of your hard work and civic engagement!
RTA Service Update
RTA has proposed a 9 AM- 3PM M-F Service for the #81 bus servicing Tremont, along
with fare increases. This proposal of modified service was announced at RTA’s April Board
Meeting on April 26th. This proposal of service will not work for our community, which is
why we are urging residents to assist Tremont West in advocating for more service not
less! Please join us on June 7th at 9 AM at RTA Headquarters located at 1240 W 6th St.
Cleveland, Ohio 44113 to get your voice heard on this issue prior to the board vote.
For more information about the event, or how to become more involved with this
initiative, feel free to contact Kai Kyles, the AmeriCorps VISTA Member at Tremont West
Development Corporation at kaikyles@tremontwest.org or by calling 216-575-0920 x108.
We appreciate your support!
Project Reaches Milestone as
Steel Crosses the River
In mid-May the George V.
Voinovich Bridge team reached a
major milestone as steel crossed
the Cuyahoga River for the new
eastbound bridge! Before placing
the “drop-in” girders directly over
the river, crews placed girders which
cantilevered out from each pier on
either side of the river.
ODOT & Metroparks Moving
Forward with Plans for Sideyard &
Area Adjacent to Trail
In April, ODOT and the Cleveland
Metroparks visited several Tremont
block clubs to discuss updated plans
for the “Sideyard” park and hillside
adjacent to the Towpath Trail, near
Sokolowski’s University Inn.
The biggest change is to the area
formerly known as “Blueberry Hill”
which is bound by Sokolowski Way,
Abbey Avenue and the Towpath
Trail. The area has been revised
to include native and non-invasive
tree and shrub species – rather than
blueberries – which will provide a
colorful and texture-filled pallet for
the area. Check-out the May edition
of Inside Tremont for a rendering of
the area!
Work at Abbey Avenue:
Soon, Tremonters and Duck
Islanders should expect a short-term
closure of Abbey Avenue under I-90
as crews erect shoring towers, repair
pavement and erect steel. A closure
of Abbey for about two weeks is
expected in mid-June. The detour
is easy, simply use the NEW West
14th connection to travel under
the new bridges and connect with
Fairfield and West 11th Street.
Additional Work in Other
Tremont Areas:
Work including landscaping and
painting continues in other areas
of the Tremont neighborhood.
In addition, Starkweather and
Kenilworth will be paved between
West 14th Street and Scranton
Avenue. Paving work is weather
dependent and will be scheduled
with other paving activities,
including the additional parking
being added near West 14th
Street.
Remember:
Getting to Tremont is still easy
using the new Abbey loop ramp.
However, the W 14th Street
entrance ramp to I-90 east is
closed until the second bridge is
complete in late 2016. Please
keep in mind this is an active
construction zone and stay safely
away.
For more info on the project, visit
www.Innerbelt.org.

of the second #GVVBridge is
moving right along! The first steel
girder joined the piers on the east
and west banks of the Cuyahoga
River on May 12, 2016.

As one of Cleveland’s most walkable
neighborhoods, The Tremont General Store has
quickly filled a void for residents seeking food
and home supplies within steps of their front door.
Kitchen necessities like eggs, cheese, milk, and
bread are now available without even starting a
car. As if this wasn’t enough cause for excitement,
the Tremont General Store also offers pet supplies
and a 2,600 square foot garden center.
Owner and Purveyor, Kevin Kubovcik, has been
working with local merchants to stock his shelves
and provide shoppers with homegrown choices.
That included items from Rising Star Coffee,
On The Rise, Cleveland Kraut, Dante Sauces,
Dee Jays Meats, Green City Growers, Lake Erie
Creamery, Wake Robin Foods, Six Shooter Coffee,
and Giannios Candy. The store also carries fruits,
onions, garlic, and other seasonal produce. All
vegetable and food products are sold tax free.
Kubovcik is from the Old Brooklyn area and
hopes that his Cleveland roots and background
are exhibited in the garden center and the items
he carries. Previous to opening the General
Store, Kubovcik managed Grace Brother’s Urban
Farm Store. His experience there gave him the
knowledge and vision for his most recent endeavor.
The garden center offers everything from tomatoes,
peppers, herbs, brussel sprouts, hanging baskets,
flowering pots, annuals, succulents, tropical, and
perennials. “The foliage, color, and texture of
our plants, flowers, and vegetables are meant to
complement one another,” said Kubovcik. “It’s
nature’s art,” he continued.
Plants, flowers, and vegetables in the garden
center are locally sourced from greenhouses
including Boyerts in Medina and Rosby in Brooklyn
Heights. Most of the store’s herbs come from Art
Form Nurseries in Chagrin Falls. The shrubs and
bushes come from Willoway Nurseries in Avon.
The garden center will be open year round and
will continually rotate seasonal items. Besides
plants, vegetables, and flowers, the General Store
is also stocked with seeds and the gardening tools
necessary for all green-thumbed residents.
Lastly, the store offers a large selection of pet food
and pet care needs. All brands are handpicked
based on the quality of the product. Whether dog,
cat, rabbit, bird, or other, the General Store carries
a variety of quality animal feed and pet supplies.
“With all the animal lovers in Tremont, we hope to
become a pet food source in the community,” said
Kubovcik.
Store hours are 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday
through Wednesday, 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM Thursday
and Friday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday, and
11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Sunday. The General
Store will also be open during Tremont Walkabout,
Art Walks, and also Taste of Tremont.
Whether man, woman, animal, or plant the
Tremont General Store has all the food and
supplies one would need. No need to start the car
to shop and support local business. Just walk to
2418 Professor Avenue and enjoy.

Tremont’s Italian Culture Center offers Culture of Wellness
Tremont is home to the largest group of
historic churches in the United States.
These churches started a tradition both
religiously and culturally throughout the
neighborhood beginning in the 1850’s.
One organization that continues to
embrace and share the roots of its
culture with the community is Centro
Culturale Leonardo, also known as the
Tremont Cultural Center.
The Tremont Cultural Center was
founded by Monica Ferrari, wife to
Dante Boccuzzi of Dante, Dante Next
Door, and Coda. Ferrari was born in
Milano, met Dante in London, and
moved to the U.S. with her husband.
After spending time in New York, the
couple landed in Cleveland. To stay
connected to her culture, Ferrari began

pleasure, regret, and satisfaction. The
three women are 92, 52 and 26 years
old. At one point they are three different
women, but eventually they become the
same women at three different stages
of her long and turbulent life.

there was a Public Meeting for the Scranton Road Reconstruction (Fairfield
to Columbus Road). That meeting introduced the project construction team
to the public and went over traffic restrictions, construction sequencing and
construction details. The project limits are Scranton Road (Fairfield to Carter)
and Carter Road (Scranton to Columbus). The improvements planned include
new concrete pavement for both roadways, new driveways, new sidewalks,
water line upgrades, new drainage infrastructure and green stormwater
solutions to address water quality. The meeting ran concurrently with our
April block club meeting, so some residents left the block club meeting early
or immediately following our to catch the remainder of the Scranton/Carter
Public Meeting. On the agenda for our late May meeting is an update of the
Tremont West Annual meeting (including which candidates were elected) as
well as updates on the RiverSweep Clean-up, RTA bus service, and Tremont
Gardeners’ Flower Sale. We also look ahead to upcoming summer events
and learn more about recent renovation activity at the long closed storefront

North of Literary
The North of Literary (NOL) Block Club’s most recent meeting was May 17 at
Press Wine Bar. Co-chairs Mike Williams and Sam Vozar thanked members for
participating in RiverSweep and the Cheering Party for the Rite Aid Cleveland
Marathon. Our deepest thanks and appreciation to Danielle Vigh, for serving
as NOL’s RiverSweep Coordinator again this year, to Deane Malaker for
hosting our Marathon Party, and to Roberta Rocco and others who prepared
and shared such wonderful food for the Party. At the meeting, Special
Guest Cami Ross provided information on the mural that the Duck Island
Block Club will be painting on the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, and requested
volunteers. The mural was funded in part by a grant, and donation of paint
by Sherwin-Williams. Michael McDonald, the Second District Community
Representative for the City of Cleveland Community Relations Board,
provided information on the RNC Surveys available to Cleveland residents
and efforts to combat Human Trafficking. Five Tremont West Development
Corporation Board (TWDC) Candidates introduced themselves and spoke
about their candidacy, and the candidate for Board President spoke as well.
ADA Architects presented information on the Constantino’s Grocery Store
planned for W. 14th St. They have not yet received a zoning letter, so they
will return for formal approval once the full list of variances is received. The
block club asked questions about truck traffic, parking, and landscaping. The
block club is excited to have a grocery store in the neighborhood, and wants
to be sure it is a positive addition. Next, A.I.A. Architects presented plans for
a new apartment building on the corner of W. 11th and Fairfield Ave. While
the current design would not require a parking variance, there were concerns
expressed on the impact to local parking availability. Block club members
also requested that the design should not look like a typical suburban hotel
or apartment complex, but be something unique to Tremont. Once designs
are finalized and variances received, the project will be presented again for
a vote of support. Matt Moss, the new Housing and Economic Development
Director for TWDC, and Mark Pratt, the new TWDC Safety Coordinator, were
introduced to the Block Club. For more information on our block club and
activities, please check out our Facebook page, or contact Co-Chairs, Sam

project in Lincoln Park, our meeting is rescheduled to Wednesday, June
22nd. We look forward to seeing you!
South of Jefferson
The June meeting of the South of Jefferson block club held at the Roosevelt
Post 58 began with a call to order and introductions. Eight community
members running for seats on the TWDC board visited the block club to
introduce themselves and ask for votes of support in the upcoming annual
meeting. Board president candidate Ann Marie Riley asked for support in her
quest to become the new TWDC board president. A safety update was then
given by Mike Koski where he urged the block club to be vigilant about locking
up cars and removing valuables due to the uptick in car break-ins likely due
to the warmer weather. A resident brought up concerns over a nearby vacant
home with broken windows. Koski encouraged the resident to follow up with
code enforcement and gave out the number for the city help desk (216-6642000). Co-chair Greg Kobe updated the club on the Tremont Mural project
and encouraged any members that want to help regardless of artistic ability
that there is still time to get involved and there is still plenty of work to be done
before the projected unveiling on Tuesday, June 21st. Reminders of parking
and traffic restrictions due to the Cleveland Rite Aid Marathon were made to
all those in attendance. AmeriCorps Vista Member Kai Kyles updated the
SOJ block club on the status of proposed cuts to RTA bus service to Tremont.
Kyles reported that although fares may likely increase that a strong effort
was being made to keep the bus loop to West 7th and Tremont Pointe from
7am-7pm despite the proposed cut to only serve that loop from 9am-3pm.
The SOJ block club was then presented a plan by long-time Brayton resident
Dave Mikolajczyk to build a multi-use structure on the currently vacant parcel
located at 833 Starkweather Avenue. The building proposed would contain
one apartment and offices for Mikolajczyk’s design business. Mikolajczyk
presented the project for input and was not asking for any zoning variances
at the meeting. Residents raised many concerns ranging from condition
of the owners yard, to parking and the rezoning to a multi-use lot among
primarily residential lots. The next order of business regarded Lucky Park
and it’s continued maintenance. Lucky Park is not owned by the city or any
other public entity. The land is two parcels owned by two separate private
landholders who allow the public to use it provided maintenance be taken care
by the community. The club agreed the two main issues at hand were that the
park needed some substantial landscaping and a better system for continued
mowing. A sign-up sheet was circulated for those interested in helping
landscape the park once a date and tools could be secured. Kai Kyles then
updated the group on the Tree Stewards program that is part of the Reforest
Our City Grant designed by the Western Reserve Land Conservancy to stem
the loss of trees to development and help plant new trees. On a related note,
Community Organizer Scott Rosenstein, responding to questions of concern,
stated that the screws placed in many of the trees along Professor and a few
other streets to be lit up with LEDs during the upcoming Walkabout Tremont
were well researched by one of the Walkabout team members and would not
harm those trees. Following the meeting there was a social time at the Post
58 downstairs bar. Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, June
14th, 7pm, at the upstairs meeting room of Roosevelt Post 58.
Tremont Arts & Cultural Festival The dates for the
18th annual Festival will be Saturday & Sunday, September 17 – 18, 2016

application in an interview with a panel of Neighborhood Connections for

recently received good news in the form of an award letter committing $4,000
from Neighborhood Connections to be used towards our Children’s Dance
Stage programming. Our thanks to Bob and Mark! We are hoping by early
