RTA is looking at express-bus service that would better link the southeast suburbs with University Circle and with rail service to downtown Cleveland.

Likewise, the $36 million project would enable Cleveland residents to more easily reach growing job centers like Chagrin Highlands, officials said.

The plan calls for extending RTA's Blue Line by one-third of a mile, building a new transit center and opening park-and-ride lots on Harvard Avenue, near Interstate 271, and on Northfield Road, near Interstate 480.

Those lots would link with University Circle by express bus service.
