A rendering recently released by the RTA shows how West 25th Street could be redone to better service transit riders and pedestrians. A similar approach, the RTA said, could come to its Lorain Corridor.
RTA's corridor of question is a 16-mile stretch of Lorain Avenue, running from West 25th Street to a run-in with Great Northern Boulevard. RTA plans to use the funds to study both bus rapid transit line improvements, along with apartments and retail, along such a line. The goals, though diverted by a global pandemic, were laid out: to have four transit corridor projects in the loop by 2026. Lorain Avenue, like many areas the City Planning Commission is eager to densify, was on its priority list.
Making over a road that stretches through three very different cities, Schipper said, presents both challenges and some good timeline match-ups.
