Three Public Meetings Hosted to Discuss the Westshore Corridor Transportation Project

GREATER CLEVELAND – Lorain County, Lorain County Transit (LCT) and the Westshore Commuter Rail Task Force (WCRTF), in cooperation with communities in Lorain County, Erie County and Cuyahoga County, will hold three public meetings to introduce people to the Westshore Corridor Transportation Project (WCTP) and solicit valuable feedback on potentially developing a public transit-based solution for the transportation needs of the Westshore corridor—one of the most heavily used and traveled corridors in Ohio.  The public is welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings. Meeting details are listed below:

WCTP seeks to address the lack of public transportation options for travel in this popular metropolitan region. The need for improvements is based on several factors including limited public transit options for inter-county travel, highway traffic congestion, the need to increase economic and sustainable development along the corridor and the need to enhance and preserve the natural environment with all the potential enhancements along the anticipated public transit corridor.

Public comments will be accepted through (September 24, 2010) at (WestshoreAA@pbworld.com).
