The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s (GCRTA) new East 55th Street Rapid Transit Station

The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s (GCRTA's) new East 55th Street Rapid Transit Station grand opening was on October 11, 2011 after five years of planning and design followed by two years of construction. The new station replaces an outdated facility and is situated at the heart of GCRTA’s rail transit system where the Green, Red and Blue lines intersect. The East 55th Street Station location, at the ramp to I-490 in the City of Cleveland, is one of the busiest intersections in the City. The station serves heavy and light rail transit vehicles, accommodates intermodal connections with City bus service, and allows for vehicular drop-off outside the station entrance. The E55th Street Station was designed and built in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Guidelines for Facilities published in the federal register July 23, 2004 and amended August 5, 2005 by the federal government Access Board.
