Cleveland RTA Board June 22 meeting highlights
Written by jrood
At its regular meeting June 22, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority Board considered several resolutions, including: • Authorizing a $140,000 change to the design of the Buckeye-Woodhill light-rail station. The new design will offer a canopy and a series of ramps on each side of the tracks, instead of elevators/escalators. RTA will also look at the cost of heated sidewalks, to keep the ramps safe in snow and ice. • Authorizing agreements with the City of Cleveland that will allow federal funds to flow through RTA to the City of Cleveland to plan an intermodal transportation facility on the Lakefront, near Dock 32.
Michael J. Schipper,
Deputy General Manager, Engineering and Project Management, updated Board members on RTA’s progress in spending federal stimulus
funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for major capital
improvements.
