New Traffic Safety Pilot Project Planned for St. Clair Avenue
Cleveland City Council is considering an emergency ordinance that would allow the State of Ohio to implement new traffic safety measures on St. Clair Avenue. Identified as File No. 1174-2026, the legislation would grant formal consent to the Ohio Director of Transportation to construct "Target Speed Pilot Project" countermeasures along a specific portion of the roadway.
What's in the file
The ordinance authorizes the City of Cleveland to enter into agreements with the State of Ohio to facilitate the Target Speed Pilot Project. According to the 1174-2026- St Clair Target Speed Locations Map_v2, the project is identified under PID 123428 CUY and involves the Mayor’s Office of Capital Projects and the Division of Engineering and Construction.
The legislation specifically provides for the City to pay its required share of the improvement costs to the State. The project aims to install "countermeasures" designed to manage vehicle speeds on St. Clair Avenue as part of the state-led pilot program.
Who may be affected
The record specifically names the following entities and locations:
* The portion of St. Clair Avenue identified in the project map.
