Enhance Clifton upcoming public meetings!

In what could be one of the largest west side infrastructure projects (at least in connecting major residential areas to Lake Erie and dealing with the 7 lane mega misnomer road, Clifton Boulevard) and a project I personally really hope to succeed, there are two upcoming public meetings scheduled.  Take note below.

Over the past year and a half, since 2010, the Enhance Clifton program has been changed in several areas. A revised project schedule can be viewed here. The RTA has now secured a significant amount of construction funding to move the project forward. The architectural and engineering firm of Richard L. Bowen + Associates Inc., that was selected by a joint panel in 2009, is continuing its efforts and has been working to prepare the 60% Design Development Submittal.

Two public meetings have been scheduled to inform residents in Cleveland and Lakewood of the updated project scope and to receive feedback before final construction documents are created.

A summary of the current scope of the project is as follows:

Cleveland:  

• The roadway will be widened by one-foot in both directions.
• The driveway aprons along the Boulevard will be re-built, due to the widening.
• The new permanent bus stations will be constructed at the previously determined locations.
• The entire roadway will be repaved.
• The medians will be constructed with trees and landscaping.
• The area around W. 115th and W. 117th will have some additional streetscape enhancements, including masonry planters and sidewalk pavers.
• The span-wire traffic signals from W. 115th to Baltic will be replaced with mast arms including transit priority.

 

Lakewood: 

• The new permanent stations will still be constructed at the previously determined locations.
• Each new station will also have a new concrete bus pad within the curb lane.
• The curb lane will recieve new signage and pavement markings to designate when the lanes are bus-only.
• No other construction work within the City of Lakewood will occur.
