Opportunity Corridor

The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission (OTIC) was recognized by the international toll road industry for its role in funding the Opportunity Corridor, a transportation improvement project in Cleveland that resulted in a positive environmental and economic impact on historically disadvantaged communities.
The OTIC approved more than $200 million in funding for the Opportunity Corridor project, which included the construction of a 3.1-mile boulevard in Cleveland from East 55th St. at I-77/I-490 (known as the Forgotten Triangle) to East 105th St. It was the first time in the history of the OTIC to provide funding for a project that had a transportation-related nexus to the 241-mile Ohio Turnpike.
Because the Opportunity Corridor project was funded primarily by OTIC bond revenues - with no federal funding for construction - diversity and inclusion goals to select contractors were established and exceeded by using an innovative approach. Contractors were also required to provide local residents with employment and career training opportunities.

All bicyclists get is a glorified sidewalk which forces bicyclists to dodge pedestrians, and get J-hooked by vehicles at intersections.
