Sound portraits will connect the Euclid Corridor's past and present

(Excerpted from the Spring 2006 Euclid Corridor Transportation Project
newsletter. Thanks to Cleveland Neighborhood News.)

Native American and ethnic histories, commerce, the Industrial Age,
Cleveland's revitalization, music, arts, culture, famous Clevelanders,
and journeys of the lives of families and business legacies are just a
few of the many subjects that the RTA will explore and profile through
sound portraits of the people, neighborhoods, and events that have
shaped Euclid Avenue.

As part of the Euclid Corridor Public Art program, an extensive
collection of audio profiles will be preserved and featured in touch
screen kiosks located at 19 high traffic and pedestrian areas along the
rapid transit route.

Cleveland Public Art manages the project, which includes the Corridor's
public artists and Cleveland State University. CSU has incorporated the
oral history project into its curriculum to enlist students to conduct
historical research and interviews of Clevelanders. Ideastream's WCPN
90.3 FM will assist with recording and preserving the audio of the
featured sound portraits.
