Foraker Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 No new news, but for anyone (like me) wondering where this project was on the proposed schedule, this is from page 29 of the February 2009 presentation referenced above. http://www.riderta.com/pdf/presentations/2009-02-03-UniversityCedar.pdf •Complete Design 3/2010 •Award Construction 9/2010 •Complete Construction 12/2012 * Depending upon funding As far as I know from the posts above and the RTA website the project is on track and at least the current design phase is funded. No further news is expected until March 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StapHanger Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I guess you guys are right- there's less than two years of actual construction time in there. I wonder if construction completion includes the street reconfiguration and greenscaping of the current bus area too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJP Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Great news! This is from a press release.... http://brown.senate.gov/newsroom/press_releases/release/?id=A4A16591-B35F-4B27-94C8-91C2E4E1774E Sen. Brown Announces $10.5M to Reconstruct and Modernize Transit Station in Cuyahoga County New Road, Bridge, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Networks to be Built at the University-Cedar Rapid Transit Station October 15, 2010 WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today announced that $10,500,000 was awarded to the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority to reconstruct the University-Cedar Rapid Transit Station in Cleveland. These funds, distributed by U.S. Department of Transportations (DOT) Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) II grant program, will help to modernize one of Ohios largest public transportation systems. These American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds were awarded through a competitive process. Cleveland commuters cyclists, walkers, and motorists will be able to enjoy a modern transportation infrastructure at the University-Cedar Rapid Transit Station, Brown said. These funds will help to enhance the quality of life for Ohioans who live and work in the area. TIGER II grants are awarded to projects that contribute to the long-term economic competitiveness of the nation, improve the condition of existing transportation facilities and systems, increase energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improve the safety of U.S. transportation facilities and/or enhance the quality of living and working environments of communities through increased transportation choices and connections. There are 59 transit systems in Ohio a fleet that employs more than 5,200 workers. More than 4,200 of these Ohioans work in operational positions in transit systems that serve more than 200,000 people. Ohio is 12th in the nation for public transit ridership. Brown has been a longtime advocate of public transportation. In March 2010, he joined Ohio transit workers from across the state to outline legislation that would save transit jobs, prevent fare increases, and preserve mass transit service. His legislation would give transit agencies increased flexibility to use federal funds for operating assistance as well as capital investments helping to prevent layoffs and preserve access to affordable transit service. ### “What is the meaning of this city?

Htsguy Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 This is great news. This project really has to get moving for obvious reasons (as well as the Mayfield/120th St station). These are the two most important stations on the red line after downtown and the airport and hopefully will spur some TOD (not to mention that the Cedar Hill station and surrounding area is just a mess...the proposed plans will really enhance the area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJP Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 BTW, the Mayfield/Little Italy station has been slowed because Norfolk Southern, as an adjacent property owner, has to review and approve RTA's plans before work proceeds. NS has been sitting on the plans for nearly a year and RTA is calling around for help to get NS to act on them.

KJP Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Why? Because a rapid transit station doesn't contribute to their bottom line so it's a very low priority for them. This is tremendous news, I wonder when they will get started? I dunno. It will probably be a while since they will have to sign lots of paperwork with the Federal Transit Administration, then go out to bid, then have the winning bidder organize materials and labor, then schedule it with the construction season. I wouldn't be surprised if it's spring 2012 before work gets underway. “What is the meaning of this city?

lafont Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Jerry - I should also add the University station should be expected to grow in riders more than the Windemere station. It's still the main Univ. Circle station and Univ. Circle is growing in leaps and bounds the next few years. Can't wait to see the new one go up between Mayfield and Euclid, too. Do you think it will begin next year? Is the one at E. 120th to be closed (I'm sure it is but am asking anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMasek Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 ^ Thanks for asking. Here is an update. :clap: University Circle Station: The station will stay open during construction, which is slated to start in summer 2012 and last for two years. :-D East 120th Street Station: The present station is at East 120 and Euclid. The new station is on the RTA tracks over Mayfield Road. The design is 60 percent complete and should be completed in 2012. After that, RTA has to shore up funding sources, award bids and supervise construction. The current station will stay open until the new one opens, so closure will never be an issue. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hts121 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Thanks for the update. Question - why so long for the design process of the Mayfield Rd. station? Will it be dragged out until final plans are made for the adjacent parking lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMasek Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 ^ This answer comes from Project Manager Maribeth Feke. "This is a complicated design project. It includes the construction of a new station on a bridge that is close proximity to the N & S railroad right-of-way and close to other adjacent landowners property. It is a tight site. The design also includes the rehabilitation of RTA's bridge. Presently, RTA is awaiting approval by the railroad for rights required to for the project. RTA anticipates a reply within the next few weeks. Upon that answer, RTA can proceed with designing this project. RTA anticipates the design will be concluded in 2011. Construction of the station will depend upon locating the capital funds required for the project." I hope this answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJP Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 FYI. I learned yesterday that capital construction funds for relocating the Euclid/E.120th station to Mayfield were in the omnibus federal funding bill that Congress decided it could NOT pass this session. So the legislation will be deferred to the next session where the funding will be tougher to get. RTA is also interested in taking the Blue Line extension to the next phase of federal planning, which is preliminary engineering. I believe this is for the extension to North Randall, not just the first step: extension across the Warrensville intersection. If so, this is surprising considering RTA hasn't finished the North Randall alternatives analysis yet! They must feel pretty confident that their preferred alternative will show characteristics that make it eligible for federal construction funds. Lastly, it's great to see construction has advanced so far on the new East 55th station. Until yesterday, I hadn't taken the Rapid over to the east side in months. Hopefully the new station will spur more redevelopment interest, but I suspect this will wait until the Opportunity Corridor Boulevard moves forward (or not). “What is the meaning of this city?

KJP Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 clvlndr, your posting over at the 3C thread was very well stated. The outcome of GCRTA's rail rebuilding efforts should result in a more attractive rail system with TOD at some stations, and GCRTA has refocused bus services to feed the rail system to save money since the trains are electric and not subject to fuel price increases. The rebuilt stations, facilities and trains for the Red, Blue and Green lines is an asset this region needs to rally around, especially as fuel prices march upward again. If you look at GCRTA's 2025 long-range plan, it anticipated investing $136,720,000 to modernize the rail system just in the 2005-09 period!

KJP Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 OK, I guess $136.7 million in capital projects for the rail system wasn't such a big deal. Because the five-year capital budget prepared in 2010 estimates the following for Cleveland's rail system.... http://www.riderta.com/pdf/annual_reports/2009_CAFR.pdf Rail Projects - $155.5 million This commitment of funds includes the upgrade of the Catenary system, station and track rehabilitation, bridges, train control systems, rail vehicles overhaul, and signage. Rail projects include the rehabilitation of the rail stations totaling $47.0 million, overhaul of the heavy rail vehicles of $7.9 million, rehabilitation of the rail tracks of $24.9 million, upgrade of Catenary electrical system of $18.5 million, upgrade of our train control and signal systems of $8.1 million, and the extension of the blue line of $49.1 million. Bridge Rehabilitation and Other Improvements - $12.7 million Funding has been provided for the rehabilitation of five track bridges. So the total rail capital budget is actually $168.2 million! “What is the meaning of this city?

Of course, my preference is for a standardized fleet for all rail lines -- including having the ability to operate as a dual-mode vehicle so the trains can operate "cordless." This is a "cordless" Stadler GTW now operating in Austin, Texas (imagine this on the West Shore Corridor out to Lorain County or on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad) and will operate soon from Denton to Carrollton to connect with Dallas' Green Line (Stadler is willing to open a US plant near to wherever a large order is made): Here is an electrically-powered Stadler GTW, operating on the Seetalbahn interurban railway in Lenzburg, Switzerland.

KJP Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 All Aboard Ohio's latest newsletter, the Ohio Passenger Rail News, will have a large feature on the GCRTA's rail capital improvement program (and recent transit capital investments including the HealthLine) as well as their impacts on influencing real estate developments. Here is a sample: Other current major rail transit projects in Greater Cleveland: Light Rail Trunk Line Turn-Outs – GCRTA has been replacing aging track hardware at 18 switches on the Blue/Green Line between Shaker Square and East 55th Street for about $2 million. Heavy Rail Vehicle Overhauls – The Tokyu fleet operating on the Red Line is more than 25 years old and is undergoing a $3.9 million rehabilitation. Rail Infrastructure Upgrade Program - This project provides $1.6 million for the acquisition of equipment and materials required to upgrade the infrastructure of all three GCRTA rail lines. Waterfront Line Chute Track Repairs – About $600,000 is being spent to repair concrete plinths that support the outbound track from Tower City Center into the Flats. Shaker Heights Crossing Upgrades – This $2.8 million project is the first of three phases to replace a total of 12 at-grade road-rail crossings on the Blue/Green Lines. Fairhill Substation Rehab – This $3 million project will upgrade the building and modernize outdated equipment at the 57-year-old electrical substation for the Red Line near University Circle. Blue/Green Line Signals – This $8.5 million project will replace an aging signal system on the trunk line between Shaker Square and East 55th Street. The new, safer system will include cab signals and better communications to reduce headways between trains. Rail Bridge Rehabilitations – GCRTA has $12.7 million in hand for the rehabilitation of five track bridges and related structures at various locations throughout the rail system including the Cuyahoga Valley viaduct. Rail improvement projects completed in the past year include: Woodhill-East 93rd Blue/Green Line Station – This was a $3.2 million rehabilitation of a single-level station facility. Puritas-West 150th Red Line Station – This was an $8.5 million station rehabilitation that replaced a dank passenger tunnel with a glass-enclosed overhead walkway. Rockefeller Bridge Demolition – For $1.8 million, GCRTA demolished a long-closed street over its joint Red/Blue/Green lines and relocated the bridge’s waterline and communication ducts.
