City Council approves emergency ordinance for I-480 ramp repairs

Cleveland City Council approved an emergency ordinance on 2026-11-09 to allow the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to repair or reconstruct three ramps along Interstate 480. This approval for File No. 1167-2026 comes after a change in direction, as the Finance, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee had recommended approval for the project earlier that same day.

What changed

The ordinance has moved to full approval by City Council. The legislation provides formal consent to the Director of Transportation of the State of Ohio to perform infrastructure work on three specific ramps located along the I-480 corridor at Grayton Road and West 150th Street.

As we reported on 2026-11-09, the Finance, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee recommended approval, reversing a previous recommendation for denial from the Municipal Services and Properties Committee on 2026-10-12.
