Here's an item about Macy's, which is banking on Internet sales for its future. Doesn't bode well for new shopping centers. http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/06/23/macys-doubles-down-on-its-omnichannel-e-commerce-future/

Shanna Beth -- you are so right about the traffic. As far as I can tell, the developer and the City of South Euclid are not making adequate plans to deal with increased traffic on Warrensville Road and surrounding streets.
Thanks to everyone for your comments. They are spot-on.

Jeannie--You seem to be right on the money...so to speak. The developer lives in Solon on a large property which he has protected with a conservation easement. He is also a Trustee of the Western Reserve Land Conservancy.

Actually, Cleveland Heights residents led the fight against Wal-Mart building on the Oakwood property back in 1994. The compromise was to accept a relatively small Wal-Mart at already-developed Severance Center, and it was done with heavy hearts on the part of many. I'm sorry that you don't know this history, and that you find the idea of protecting green space and developing new projects on previously developed, now vacant property, "disingenuous." Many of us think it's simple common sense. Considering the onslaught of national chains that have been foisted upon local communities, I think Cleveland Heights residents have done a relatively good job of supporting local businesses. Another point to remember: while the Oakwood property spans two communities (2/3 in Cleveland Hts and 1/3 in S. Euclid), ALL of it is in the Cleveland Hts/University Hts school district. The 65% of the property tax that goes to the schools will all go to CH/UH schools. South Euclid city officials have not emphasized this in touting the supposed advantages of a big box retail center to their community.
