2706 Noble Road Surveys and Studies in the Noble areaAt our February meeting, Dr. Mark Chupp and Nina Holzer from CWRU launched our Noble Neighborhood Community Assessment. We are viewing every property on each street and noting the use and condition of each property. Scroll down to read more about the project below in CWRU studies Noble Neighborhood. Please note these dates for the project:
February 3rd, 2015 - 7 PM @ Noble Road Presbyterian Church Noble Neighbors Community Meeting - Introductory meeting between SASS 478 students and neighborhood residents February 7th, 2015 - 9 AM to 1 PM @ Police Academy Field Surveys in Noble Neighborhood February 14th, 2015 - 9 AM to 1 PM @ Police Academy Monticello and Noble, 2nd floor meeting room Field Surveys in Noble Neighborhood March 3rd, 2015 - 7 PM @ Central Bible Baptist Church Noble Neighbors Meeting - Preliminary Field Survey Findings Presentation April 7th, 2015 - 7 PM @ Noble Road Presbyterian Church Noble Neighbors Meeting - Case File Presentation Flyer Distribution for April 26 eventWhile it may have been a good idea to distribute flyers while we were surveying the neighborhood, mounds of snow and freezing temps prohibited that activity. Instead, when the weather breaks and the sidewalks are safe, we will need an army of folk who will go door-to-door with flyers. This is a critical point of communication for us. We're inviting all residents, businesses and institutions to participate in the event. It's all about creating a reason to draw people into the neighborhood to attend the real estate open houses.
Remember, every effort we are undertaking will impact your property value. We're all working together to boost neighborhood sales and values. Your time investment will be well worth your effort! Sign up to distribute flyers at a Noble Neighbors meeting or by emailing us at NobleNeighbors@gmail.com CWRU studies Noble NeighborhoodCWRU graduate students will join Noble Neighbors this winter and early spring to survey every property in the Noble area and study our neighborhood around four topics: Housing, Retail, Safety and Children/Youth. We'll kick off our efforts at our February 3, 2015 meeting as we organize for tasks and into focus groups. Learn more about this partnership by clicking here.

News of InterestProposed East Side Greenway bikeway thru Noble NeighborhoodSteve Litt wrote an article in the PD about the planning for an East Side Greenway (hike and bike routes). If the plans are implemented, they would have a major positive effect on our neighborhood.
The link to the article is: http://www.cleveland.com/architecture/index.ssf/2015/01/preliminary_version_of_east_si.html There is also a survey. It would be great if a lot of people took it to show that there is interest in the proposal. The link to the survey is: https://esg.metroquest.com/ . [Editors note: this survey is way too cool. You've got to check this out!] Reading Tutors Needed in the SchoolsReaching Heights has contacted Noble Neighbors asking for people to volunteer as reading tutors for our elementary school kiddos during the school days. View their web site for more information: http://www.reachingheights.org/#!many-villages-tutoring/c1t8u
Reaching Heights folk can also direct you to school officials if you'd like to tutor during their after-school programs.

One of the City's responses to the concerns we expressed at the April 29, 2014 Community Meeting is to change the location of the Meet Your Police event to the Police Academy on Noble at Monticello. On the first Thursday of every month, the police will be in our neighborhood to meet with us (and any other Cleveland Heights resident). On the other Thursdays, the police will return to City Hall where they have been meeting us for years. Let's take advantage of this!! Click here for the City web page announcement. CH Resident Survey ResultsIn July 2014, the City of Cleveland Heights sent a survey about city services to 1200 randomly selected residents. The results are now posted to the city's web page, which you can access by clicking here. Follow the links to a summary article and to the full report.
Smart Phone reporting appCleveland Heights has an mobile way for smart phone users to report problems to the city. Access Cleveland Heights app users on iPhones or Androids can take a picture and write a short note about a problem they encounter. Although the app is only a few days old, already people have reported water leaks, tall grass, debris, and potholes on city-owned and private properties. We can view the address and status for each report, too. Other features of this app include City News, City Calendar, City Council contacts and several other options.

Noble Neighbors MapExactly where is the Noble Neighbors area? This question is popping up more often, which is a good thing! It demonstrates that people want to be included and want to know what areas will benefit by our collective efforts. Under the "About" tab, you will now find "Maps" in the drop-down menu. The geography is defined by the five census tracts that abut Noble Road, but we certainly welcome other interested people. For example, a few people who live near Noble but are south of Mayfield have joined us as well as residents who live in South Euclid in the area east of Quilliams, north of Covington and west of Belvoir. Without a doubt, they have the same concerns for safety and attractiveness for their area and want to extend the revitalization to their neighborhoods. It's going to "take a village" to see our village thrive, so the more the merrier!
Noble Neighbors: we encourage you to print the map so you can walk or drive along streets that you usually don't travel. Get to know more of your neighborhood. Notice the growing list of streets on our "About" page. We have people who have signed up for Noble Neighbors in every section of our neighborhood. Click here for a quick link to the maps page. |
