The board of directors for the Port of Cleveland voted Thursday to approve hiring Cincinnati-based Goettle Inc., to undertake a nearly $60 million project to stabilize the Irishtown Bend hillside, which has threatened for decades to slide into the Cuyahoga River.
The long-awaited work will include making it possible to create a 23-acre park on the curving, Irishtown slope with spectacular views of the Cleveland skyline on the east side of the river, plus trail connections to Wendy Park on the Lake Erie shoreline and the 101-mile Towpath Trail.
