The Clark Freeway Traditional Cache
JoesBar: This one has been around for almost three years. It's time for it to go. I hope all that visited enjoyed themselves.

You should park on Delaware but you can park on
Harcourt or South Overlook. The best approach to this
cache is from 41°29.699N, 081°35.755W. You will be walking on a
trail to the cache.
Take a look at the oak trees on the south side of North Park
Blvd. There are brass plaques at the base of each tree with the
name of a World War One veteran. The trees were
planted to honor these men. Be careful of traffic as the
plaques are next to the street.
There were many freeways proposed in the 1960’s for the Cleveland
area.
The name of this cache is the name of a freeway that was proposed
to run right through here. The Clark Freeway was to run
east/west and connect with the Lee Road freeway, I-271, and
I-490. I-490 now ends at East 55th St. The Lee Road Freeway was to
run north/south about one mile east of here. Try to imagine what
this area would look like if both of these highways were here.
The creek you will be walking along side is Doan Brook. It
runs through a pipe under University Circle and the Case
University campus, then continues along Martin Luther King
Blvd. to Lake Erie. Small dams upstream of here create the
Shaker Lakes.
I do not know the city’s official position on dogs here, however,
while setting this cache I saw several folks walking their dogs.
