The CUDC is looking for volunteers to assist with community engagement for the streetcar level of the Veterans Memorial Bridge (aka Detroit-Superior Bridge) in Downtown Cleveland.
The streetcar level of the bridge is one of Cleveland great, undiscovered treasures. Streetcar service was discontinued in the 1950s. Cuyahoga County and Kent State’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative are working to transform the space into a bike/pedestrian connection and public space.
For more information about the bridge: www.veteransmemorialbridge.org
We're looking for volunteers to help to facilitate a community conversation about the future of the bridge on Friday, June 23 from 4:30-8:30 pm. No experience necessary, but you will need to complete a 30 minute orientation and training session with the CUDC over Zoom prior to June 23.
Volunteers will:
Facilitate table conversations in an outdoor, picnic setting with 6-8 community members. Over the course of the evening, you will be talking with multiple groups of people as they arrive for dinner and self-guided tours of the bridge.
Take notes capturing key points of these conversations.
Share your notes and observations with the CUDC after the event.
Volunteers will receive a $50 gift card, a bridge t-shirt, and dinner on June 23.
