CLEVELAND<\/a> (WJW) — The FOX 8 I-Team<\/a> has uncovered more about what’s happening with plans to have more buses and trains at and around the new stadium for the Cleveland Browns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve learned of a new effort to find grant money to help pay for an RTA rapid stop at the complex under construction for the new Browns stadium.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Bridge suddenly closed in Cleveland for emergency repairs: ODOT\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Construction began earlier this year on a new domed stadium with development around it in Brook Park. The stadium is expected to open in 2029.<\/p>\n

The first steps have just been taken in the process that would clear the way for RTA to file a big request for federal money.<\/p>\n

A local transportation planning group has begun discussing plans for a possible rapid station at the new Browns stadium. RTA would be seeking $60 million for the project.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, last month the Browns spoke to the I-Team about hoping to find federal funding for a new rapid stop.<\/p>\n

“We’re gonna be in Brook Park. That’s where RTA needs to be,” Ted Tywang, general counsel for the Haslam Sports Group, said.<\/p>\n

“But then, also thinking longer term: can we get a station on site? I think we’re aligned thinking that would be a great thing. But, just figuring out the details: How does that get delivered? How does that get funded? But, they’ve been a great partner, and we talk to them all the time.”<\/p>\n

Brook Park Mayor Ed Orcutt has also told local businesspeople the city is talking to RTA about adding bus service to the area.<\/p>\n

Lately, RTA has been holding hearings about overall service cuts. Now, it’s about to finalize some hard decisions.<\/p>\n

But as the new stadium gets built, RTA said it will review schedules to “accommodate increased ridership demand.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0‘Safest thing to do’: Significant deterioration behind immediate Cleveland bridge closure\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

“It’s exciting. I’m only 3 miles down the road [from the new stadium site],” said Adam Radogna, who opened a new Italian restaurant called Adamo’s in Brook Park.<\/p>\n

He’s hoping for more bus service when the new stadium opens.<\/p>\n

“Just so they can come to my business, then head to the stadium, or come back, or vice versa, to my restaurant, and things like that,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Just had a soft opening. We’ll have a huge grand opening and hopefully be ready for the Browns in three years,” Radogna said.<\/p>\n

The city of Brook Park has already started moving ahead with plans for highway improvements to handle more traffic around the new stadium.<\/p>\n

Now, we’re starting to see what’s factoring into plans for buses and trains.<\/p>\n
