"As Cleveland considers ways to make its waterfront more accessible to the public, Roger Thoma sees the breakwall as the foundation for a bold idea: A narrow island with a beach, native trees and shrubs that would be a nationally known bird and fish site...Building a lakeshore marsh would give Cleveland a premier fishing spot and bird sanctuary right downtown, as well as an amenity for walkers, runners and bird watchers."
