GCRTA Breaks Ground for Reconstructed Rail Station
As part of its Stand Up 4 Transportation Day activities on April 9, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) broke ground for a new $11.3 million reconstruction of the Brookpark Rapid Station, the last station on the Red Line before Hopkins International Airport. The original station opened in 1969 as part of a four-mile extension of heavy rail to the airport.
The reconstructed station will be fully ADA compliant and will include upgrades to the existing tunnel and a new elevator core, rail platform and passenger waiting areas. Redesign of the grounds will incorporate landscaping, wider sidewalks and additional lighting, security systems and cameras. The construction will follow green/sustainability design principles.
Development of the new Brookpark Station is expected to take 18-24 months.
