For the past three years, the Ohio Department of Transportation has been making plans to rehabilitate the entire I-90 Inner Belt, traveling from Tremont to the Inner Belt Curve (Dead Man's Curve). In that time, ODOT has meet with the City of Cleveland and citizens in hundreds of meetings to develop a plan best suited for the area.

• Debating the Inner Belt (Aired Dec. 22, 2005)
  A proposed revamping of Cleveland's inner belt has local leaders debating various options. But since most of the money to pay for it is funneled through the Ohio Department of Transportation, that agency holds the ultimate decision-making authority. In the past few weeks, the Cuyahoga and Cleveland Planning Commissions have pressed ODOT to evaluate other alternatives. But ODOT seems locked in its own plan.

• Inner Belt Update with Lisa Ann Pinkerton (Aired Dec. 28, 2005)

Much has changed in those 50 years: industry has migrated, the suburbs have grown, and Cleveland's population has shrunk. Plans are now on the drawing board to bring the system up to date to handle todays traffic patterns - and tomorrow's, as best they can be predicted. But consensus on the inner belt project seems a long way off. ideastream's Lisa Ann Pinkerton is following its progress and joins us now to help us understand just where it stands.
