Shaker has taken down basketball rims to keep young black males away. Everyone lives in Shaker for the diversity, yet doesn't embrace it.

The ice rink is aging but ia very important place for many. Need a recreation center with indoor pool, indoor track, machines, classes

More open spots for lessons - a community should be able to have enough slots for all families who want swim lessons and not get shut out.

Shaker needs a public rec center (like cities like Westlake have) with indoor pool, gym (treadmills, weights, etc.), courts, etc.
