SUMMARY:Sound of Ideas Community Tour
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 18th\, 6 – 8PM\nFive years ago Horseshoe Lake was drained with a plan to replace its damaged dam and restore the lake. But the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District argued that keeping the land dry\, and replacing the lake with a park\, was necessary to lower the risk of catastrophic flooding. Residents protested and filed suit. Ultimately\, the park land plan was approved and they were promised that nearby Lower Lake would get its dam replaced and would remain a lake. \nNow the sewer district says new data leads it to also recommend draining Lower Lake for more parkland. Join us for the next “Sound of Ideas Community Tour\,” where we will examine what led the sewer district to change its recommendation\, what options exist for the cities of Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights\, and how the community is responding to the latest development. \nThe event takes place on Monday\, Aug. 18\, at 6 p.m. at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. It’s free and open to the public\, but registration is required. Seated tickets are sold out but join us for LIVESTREAM standing room only (you can bring your own folding chair) https://givebutter.com/sound-of-ideas-standing-room  \nYou are also welcome to watch at home starting at 6 PM here: https://www.youtube.com/live/OP4D_YQXt0Q?si=TMdpinGCU2_DLZQb
