CLEVELAND -- The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) is planning to build a new Green Line station on Shaker Boulevard at Lee Road, in Shaker Heights for $1.7 million.

The current station is close to the Shaker Heights Historical Society.

On Jan. 15, 2015, the RTA Board of Trustees awarded a $160,000 contract for design and construction support to CHA Consulting of Cleveland. About 80 percent of the cost will be paid with federal funds.

Both design and environmental documents are in the final approval process.

The construction contract will be awarded in spring 2016, and work will be completed by the end of 2016.
