University Circle

From the sounds of a local wind ensemble to finding those last-minute handmade gifts, here are a few suggestions for holiday fun this weekend in Northeast Ohio.

A new HAWK signal was recently installed in Cleveland's University Circle neighborhood, giving pedestrians more power.

The 64-year-old building is in the midst of a decade-long evolution.

The new HAWK signal (which stands for high intensity activated crosswalk) gives pedestrians the ability to press a button to signal for traffic to stop so they can cross.

Cleveland Documenters found University Circle police have not implemented policies to address citizen complaints required as part of a memorandum of understanding signed in 2018.

House Bill 598 would ban abortion in Ohio if the U.S. Supreme Court rules states can decide the issue - it does not include exemptions in the case of rape or incest; Cleveland City Council approved a plan to allow private police to expand their patrols even though their current contracts don't require them to comply; Lorain City Council is trying to regulate short-term rentals in the area; and more stories.

The two departments on the city's East Side would patrol in Little Italy and Case would also expand into Glenville.

Trump's team had sought to hold the rally at the Portgage County Fairgrounds but was turned down by its board; Cleveland City Councilmembers are concerned about allowing two police forces expanding their jurisdiction; and more stories.

Cleveland City Council's Safety Committee held the proposal after raising several concerns about non-municipal police departments in the city.

The ordinances would have allowed the two departments to patrol in the Little Italy neighborhood. Case Western police would have also expanded into a small part of the city just north of Wade Park Avenue.
