The Friends of the Hulett Ore Unloaders and Steamer William G. Mather presented a citizens' vision for Cleveland's lakefront and future harborfront development. Their plan proposed (1) expanding the convention center and adding a new hotel, (2) connecting attractions like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the lakefront via pedestrian walkways, and (3) developing the area around the Browns stadium into a hub with parking garages, shops, and restaurants accessible by skywalk. The goal was to create an all-season destination that incorporated Cleveland's industrial and maritime history.

DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial Visitor Center (VVMVC) R Saikus US Senate Testim...R Ray Saikus
Testimony starts on file page 40 plus Senator's questions/witness answers start on file page 61.
This is an example how your voice counts if you stay informed and are willing to fight for your own and others rights.
On May 16, 2006, I testified along with others, about two bills introduced in US Congress regarding the proposed Vietnam Veterans Memorial Visitor Center and the House version had already passed the House by voice vote (not even a committee hearing) with the purpose to exclude the families of those honored on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Wall, those of us who fought or served alongside of them and the public from having any ability to participate in how the proposed Vietnam Veterans Memorial Visitor Center would be designed, its content developed and how those honored on the Wall stories would be told/shared with those coming to this Visitor Center. The Senate, after testimony that day, did not move this bill along to become law. Having won the right to participate in the process and the development of this project, we discovered many shortcomings. One significant and contributing to its demise was the it was being built 34 ft deep and below ground level with a water table at between 10 an 14 ft below ground thus making the irreplaceable treasures housed within it subject to loss due to flooding and in turn endangering staff and visitors alike. The other issue was that the flow of people within it would be through a maze of tunnels, a tribute to the VC and not to the service and sacrifice of those died, the wounded or who served during the Vietnam War. The project was doomed to fail because the below ground level entrace mimicked the Wall and its setting, the site design lacked that safe space from flooding for the facility and its visitors and in turn the constant escalating costs. The leadership of this project failed to secure the site where now stands the US Institute of Peace and they failed to object to its construction and design which now interferes with an unobstructed view of the heavens when viewing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and especially at night. The name of the project, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Visitor Center or VVMVC, was not very well thought out - who would choose a name were the acronym has VC in it. After I brought it to their attention the project became referred to as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Education Center but its legal name, in enabling legislation, remained VVMVC. As a last resort they proposed incorporating honoring America's war dead from Wars since Vietnam. It was finally abandoned because people realized it had lost its initial intent and was not a viable project, in turn the VVMVC could not gather any more financial support.

Cleveland’s Lakefront and FutureCleveland’s Lakefront and Future
30. The Friends of the Hulett Ore Unloaders and Steamer William G. Mather, a
committee of Citizens' Vision, was formed in 1994 to promote the preservation of
the Hulett Ore Unloaders and the Steamship William G. Mather. Members of the
committee nominated, organized and had the Huletts and the Mather designated
National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks by ASME International
(American Society of Mechanical Engineering) and had the Huletts placed on the
National Register of Historic Places. This committee was represented throughout
the Lakefront Development Planning process and was the original and consistent
promoter of placing the Huletts, the Mather, the Cod, the Crawford Museum of
Transportation and Industry as well as bringing the Cleveland Aquarium to the
Dock 32 area North of the Great Lakes Science Center.
Citizens' Vision, founded in 1999, is a 501C3 Non-Profit Corporation with a
mission to provide organizational, educational, fiscal management, and skill
development support to groups of citizens in their quest to have their visions and
concerns heard and acted upon as related to historic preservation, waterfront
development, and public space utilization. This corporation, Citizens' Vision, is the
umbrella organization and the home for various committees, such as the Friends
of the Hulett Ore Unloaders and Steamer William G. Mather, The Committee to
Save Cleveland's Huletts, Friends of Whiskey Island, and The Committee for
Responsible Waterfront Development.
History of Organizations
31. The Friends of the Hulett Ore Unloaders and Steamer William G. Mather, with the
endorsement of The Committee for Responsible Waterfront Development, present
a plan of the area bounded by Mall C on the South, East 9th Street pier on the
East, and Dock 20 (the Cuyahoga River) on the West which:
- Creates a new Convention and Hotel facility for bigger & multiple
conventions
Collects on the potential of our priceless lakefront and access to it
- Provides infrastructure for all-year-round use and access to the facilities
- Creates an inviting, multifaceted, and repeat visit destination
- Incorporates non-intrusive multi-modal access to the site and its attractions
- Makes it a "Must Place to Go" for visitors and residents alike
Multiple attractions in relatively close proximity (walking distance) of each other
will provide the visitor draw for all to be successful. The proposed garage annexes
to the Browns Stadium with the full perimeter 8 story high promenade (open air
and protected with shops and restaurants) will serve the various facilities and
activities that might be scheduled in the Inner Harbor area as well as provide
close, protected from the weather and secure parking for the games and other
venues at the stadium.
Organizations’ Goals
32. An elevated promenade/plaza (approximately 20' above dock level) that will begin
to the West of the stadium, starting at Dock 20 and wrap around the North and
East of the stadium as well as weave in between the different attractions and
follow the road south of the Great Lakes Science Center and then to the Rock Hall
of Fame Museum and to points East beyond the East 9th Street Pier. This
promenade will allow for underground bus, handicap, rapid transit, and truck
access to all amenities, plus it will provide covered access between the different
buildings during inclement weather.
The themes are: Industrial heritage, maritime heritage, rock and roll, the Browns,
as well as marine and nautical. The site will also provide venues to host various
size concerts, festivals, and planned activities.
Organizations’ Goals (Continued)
