The Veterans Memorial Bridge that connects downtown to the near West Side was open for exploring on Friday and Saturday, June 21 and 22. Visitors learned about the bridge’s history as a main thoroughfare for streetcars in the early 20th century while being treated to an art show combined with live music and dance performances.

In this podcast episode, Signal Cleveland audio producer Gennifer Harding-Gosnell talks to visitors on the bridge about what they love about the event, and what ideas they have for the county and city government about how to develop the area for resident use. 👂🏿👇🏿

Show Notes:


Audio Producer (she/her)
I create audio stories meant to engage and inform people in a way that pushes beyond media stereotypes. I aim to build trust between local media and the community, striving to teach people “how” to think about life in Cleveland, not “what” to think.
