Written by jrood
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority will receive $1.2 million in funding from the Northeast Ohio Area-wide Coordinating Agency for two Transportation Enhancement Programs. Two grants of $600,000 each will support the Clifton Transit Enhancement Project in Cleveland and Lakewood and the University Circle Rapid Transit Station Reconstruction project in Cleveland. "These projects will benefit our customers not only in Lakewood and Cleveland, but those traveling throughout the system," said Joe Calabrese, CEO, RTA. "Combined with our TIGER II grant we received in October, the University Circle Rapid Station secured more than $12 million and we hope to break ground there next summer. The Clifton grant allows us to continue our work to better serve our customers in a major Westside corridor." The University Circle grant will be used to enhance pedestrian walkways under the railroad bridges between the bus and train waiting areas at the new station. The Clifton funds will be used to enhance the bus station areas.
