South Euclid

Well, this is going toward 37 projects in 23 communities and four nonprofit organizations across the county, and it's a pretty wide range of improvements, everything from fixing roads and sidewalks to upgrading playgrounds, parks, and public facilities.

Some of the more interesting projects include a new sensory play space at Mavik Park in Euclid, an accessible walking path at Bradley Park in, in Bay Village, traffic-calming improvements in Shaker Heights.

There's a new all-season pavilion at North Royalton Memorial Park.

There's also money for home repair programs in places like Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and University Heights, and there's a program to help seniors in South Euclid with landscaping and snow removal.

One nonprofit is even getting 50,000 for a mural called More Alike Than Different.

Uh, so this money is coming from two sources.

But it's okay because these two people are, are, are so worried about their kid being in an A library situation.

Well, guess what? How far is that library on Green Road in South Euclid? Is that two miles away?

I don't think it is.

Bertrand Woods and Shaker?

Because they hope that it's gonna make it easier and cheaper to build new homes and attract more businesses with- without giving up local control, but having something that makes sense.

So Euclid, South Euclid, East Cleveland, Maple Heights, North Olmsted, and Brook Park are all partnering with the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission to develop this unified zoning code, and it would share a common foundation for definitions, permitted uses, standards, and measurements.

Things like how far back a building has to sit from the street, or how many vape shops and car washes can be located in a certain area.

The thing is, it doesn't have to be all universal.

Yeah, there's still some details to be worked out, but it, the picture is becoming clearer.

So they did buy the Notre Dame campus in South Euclid for $8 million back in July.

Immediately, they signed an agreement to have a Jewish K through 8 school on part of the campus, which is the former Regina High School building that they incorporated into their campus years ago.

So South Euclid this week is considering a rezoning request at a public hearing Thursday at 7:00 PM.

That area is currently zoned single-family housing, which is kind of a legacy, you know, zoning thing.

So, uh, as we said, the, this will be the new home for the Yeshivah Derech HaTorah boy school.

Six communities have agreed to participate with a seventh potentially joining.

South Euclid is going to be a pilot community.

Maple Heights has signed on as well.

South Euclid says its zoning code dates back to 1969, and doing a complete overhaul itself would simply be too expensive for them.

But the whole project is expected to cost, like you said, $845,000.

Participating cities would contribute $25,000 apiece.

On December 23rd, 2015, he sent her Facebook messages saying he would harm her and her family.

By 2017, Christopher, the registered offender, was supposedly living in South Euclid.

He was in compliance with his registration, had passed six verifications with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department since 2009, most recent on May 9th, 2015.

However, when reporters went to that house after his arrest, family members there said he had not lived there for years and was only using it for mail.

It's nicer than our library.

Look, South Euclid's a gorgeous library.

Beautiful.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm going to be the first one to say maker.

We're a seven-minute drive from the Orange Library that has a maker room.

What's South Euclid, I'm assuming, has it too? I'm sure.

Yeah.

We had the opportunity to talk with others there as well.

So now let's hear from 35-year-old South Euclid resident and new U.S. citizen Fisayo Adesina, who came to the U.S. eight years ago from Nigeria to study, then met the woman that he married in 2021.

Here's what the process of naturalization has been like for him.

I wouldn't say it was easy.
