The master plan for the city was penned in 1993, and officials want to take a look at updating it.
In 1993, city officials came up with a comprehensive, 180-page document outlining short and long-term goals for Lakewood, called the “Lakewood Community Vision.” But Dru Siley, the city’s director of planning and development, said it’s time to take another look at the plan. “Since that was 20 years ago, council and the administration are evaluating the ideas and progress, with an eye towards updating that vision later this year,” he said. The reevaluation is necessary because a lot has changed since Bill Clinton’s first year in the Oval Office. “There are ideas in the Community Vision that will always be germane to Lakewood and will serve as a benchmark,” Siley said. “But some ideas may have been timely in 1993 and now no longer apply.” …

During tonight's special Architecture Board of Review work session, the fast food reps will unveil initial concept designs and building plans for a McDonald's that could soon replace the Detroit Theatre and its adjoining storefronts.
At 6:30 tonight in the City Hall auditorium, the Architectural Board of Review will hold a special work session to hear a presentation from McDonald’s representatives who want to build a new burger joint on the existing Detroit Theatre location. The initial building concept and design plans won’t be unveiled until the meeting, but it is known that – if McDonald’s purchases the $700,000 property – then it would demolish the now defunct theatre and its adjoining storefronts. No action will be taken at the work session, but the review board will offer feedback and work to influence how the structure would be built, assistant director of planning and development Dru Siley said. The meeting is open to the public and will conclude at 9 p.m.

City law director, economic development director are among jobs that could be vacated.
Ed FitzGerald will leave his post as the mayor of Lakewood to become Cuyahoga County's first county executive — and a few high-profile city employees could be going with him. Three city employees — including Economic Development Director Nathan Kelly and Law Director Nora Hurley — are seeking posts with the new county government that FitzGerald will lead after the first of the year, the mayor said. FitzGerald said his administrative assistant Luann Baker may seek employment with the new county government, but Baker said Tuesday she is not interested in leaving the city right away.
