Public SquarePublic Square
Proposed traffic pattern is two/three lanes of one-way counterclockwise flow with the interior lane being an exclusive transit lane
Downtown BoardingDowntown BoardingPhysical constraints resulted in
decision to build left-side median station platforms– Existing building faces at the ROW line
on both sides of the street– Presence of numerous below grade
basement areaways/vaults– Requires a roadway section 6 ft. thinner
than the median right-side boarding configuration
Remainder of ProjectRemainder of Project
Stations are designed for right-side boarding in the median and in the curb lane

Traffic Signal System and Traffic Signal System and CommunicationsCommunications
New Traffic Signals with Transit Priority
Optical & GPS Vehicle Detectors Heightened Internet Capability Variable Message System Emergency Telephones at Stations Advanced Pedestrian Signals Programmed Irrigation Systems
Traffic Signals for BRTTraffic Signals for BRTReplacement of entire traffic signal
system for the length of the project within the City of Cleveland limits
Vehicle Priority System will use Opticom GPS system to monitor electronic signals from approaching BRT vehicle or emergency vehicle. In turn, it will extend green time and prioritize transit phase to give the BRT vehicle priority.
Variable Message SystemVariable Message System
Electronic message signs at signs will be connected to the RTA’s new GPS-controlled Automatic Vehicle Locator.
These satellite-directed signs will provide real-time messages about the ECVs arrival to waiting passengers.
Emergency TelephonesEmergency Telephones
Located at each station, these blue-light phones will be connected to RTA security to provide riders with extra safety
CCTV with digital video recording devises at each station
Advanced Pedestrian SignalsAdvanced Pedestrian Signals
Crosswalk signals at Corridor intersections will provide a countdown of the time remaining to allow safe crossing of the street.
Pedestrian SafetyPedestrian Safety
Pedestrian push buttons will serve as signals for the visually impaired– Will vibrate and
sound when it is safe to cross
