Last week, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson gave the green light for construction to begin on the second phase of a controversial roadway; eventually connecting interstate 490, with University Circle neighborhood.
The opportunity corridor, as it's known, will be a 3-point five mile-long boulevard, linking the highway from its terminus at East 55th street ...To the health and cultural center via east 105th street.
The mayor agreed to continuing construction; after some of his demands to the state were met, including guarantees that city residents will get a fair share of the work and that Ohio will pay for cleaning contaminated land along the route.
