CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority plans to reopen Public Square to buses in less than two weeks, if all goes as planned.

During an RTA board meeting today, RTA CEO Joe Calabrese said he hopes to have buses running on Superior through the square by March 6.

That is one day before the final deadline given to RTA by the Federal Transit Administration to reopen the square to buses before it will enforce a $12-million fee.

RTA and City of Cleveland officials on Monday began test runs of buses through Public Square. They were testing, among other things, turning radiuses and clearances, Calabrese said. All buses running on Superior Avenue through the square were out of service during the testing.
