Waterfront Line shut down for maintenance this month

CLEVELAND � The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) will suspend service on the Waterfront Line for three weeks, so maintenance work can be completed.

Service will be suspended Oct. 5-24, between Tower City and the South Harbor Station in the Municipal Parking Lot by the Shoreway. The Browns do not play at home during this time.

On weekdays, riders traveling to and from the North Coast Station or the Municipal Parking Lot should board the #47 Loop bus at West Roadway and Superior Avenue. Passengers wishing to travel to and from rail stations at Settlers Landing or Flats East Bank should board the B-Line trolley or E-Line trolley and exit along West Ninth Street.

On weekends, a shuttle bus will operate every 30 minutes, from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., between the trolley stop in front of Positively Cleveland, 100 Public Square at Tower City, and the North Coast Harbor area. This shuttle bus will serve riders headed to the North Coast Station on East Ninth Street, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Great Lakes Science Center.

Waterfront Line service will resume on Sunday, Oct. 25, when the Browns host Green Bay at 1 p.m.

For more information, call the RTAnswerline, 216-621-9500.
