The Greater Regional Transit Authority (RTA) has just released a new brochure providing safety tips for walking or driving along Euclid Avenue. RTA specifically encourages people to follow these tips to safely access the new stations in the center of Euclid Avenue at East 19th, 24th, 30th 36th, 40th and 51st Streets, both eastbound and westbound. Highlights from this brochure include: When riding the bus: -Board all buses from stations on the center median. -To reach the center median, stay in the designated crosswalk. -Stand back from the edge of the platform. The new buses will pull up closer to the curb than before. -Use the front door to board buses and use the rear door to exit. When walking: -Stay in the designated crosswalk and cross only when legal. -Be aware of new traffic patterns. When driving: -Remember that in each direction, the left lane is for transit vehicles only. Stay in the right lane. If you drive in the bus-only lane, you will be ticketed. If you park in the bus-only lane, you will be ticketed and towed. -Watch for parked cars pulling into traffic and for bicycles in the bike lane. If you need to turn left: -Each lane on Euclid Avenue has its own signal. -To make a left-hand turn onto a side street, stay in the left-hand turn lane and turn only when you have a green arrow from the traffic light. To ensure safety, all violations of these rules carry heavy fines that have been set by the Cleveland Municipal Court. To view the entire brochure with graphics, click here. Brochures can also be picked up at the MidTown Cleveland, Inc. office, 4019 Prospect Avenue, #200. -Jim Tue, 03 Jun 2003 09:39:21 GMT http://www.midtowncleveland.org/blog/Safety%20Tips%20for%20Euclid%20Avenue.asp http://www.midtowncleveland.org/blog/25th%20Anniversary%20Recap.asp Dinner, drinks, music and conversations with good friends, coworkers and neighbors made MidTown Cleveland, Inc.'s 25th anniversary party a true celebration. Nearly 400 MidTown supporters came to MidTown Cleveland, Inc.'s block party at the Agora Theater on Thursday, September 27, from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. to honor both the history and future of the MidTown neighborhood. “I am always blown away by the support that MidTown has,” Diane Dunleavy, MidTown Cleveland, Inc.'s deputy director said. “An anniversary of 25 years simply wouldn't have happened without our stakeholders' and local businesses' commitment to making MidTown a better place.” Joseph Calabrese, CEO and General Manager of RTA was on hand to give attendees tours on the new RTA Silver Line transit vehicles through the completed MidTown section of the Euclid Corridor. The project is set to be completed next year and partygoers were among the first to ride in the new buses that will soon travel from Downtown to University Circle. Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, Ward 5 Councilwoman Phyllis Cleveland, Cuyahoga County Commissioner Peter Lawson Jones and former MidTown Cleveland, Inc.
