Shaker Heights
Summary
The city proposes building a new school bus depot (40 buses, ~10,000 sq ft building) at the Green Road Transit Station so the Lee Road bus facility can be redeveloped.

Impact analysis
About $6.4 million to build, mostly city-funded through soon-to-expire TIF surplus, with the schools capped at $1.6 million.
Moreland and Lomond neighborhoods get long-promised redevelopment, the schools get a new facility at 25% of cost, and the city gains taxable development on currently tax-exempt land.
Neighbors near Green Road and Shaker Boulevard fear bus traffic, noise, emissions, and possible declines in property values.
