Settlers Landing: The BIG Ramp

This project is a look at reuse of a post-industrial site along the Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Centered between two bridges connecting Ohio City and Downtown Cleveland, The BIG Ramp creates a public use facility and water remediation for the area. The BIG Ramp gives residence the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors year round from sledding, to a water slide, to bike, hiking, and a gravity coaster. Paired with the public amenity the ramp offers, stepped seating and retention ponds will help to filter water run off from the downtown area before it flows out to the river.
