The Euclid Corridor Transportation Project (ECTP) calls for a complete reconstruction of Euclid Avenue between Public Square and University Circle that includes new sidewalks, passenger shelters at center median stations, pedestrian lighting, street trees and tree lawns.

Other interconnected projects include a proposal to straighten and simplify the roads at the bottom of Cedar Hill and a tie-in to the Innerbelt Project’s proposed new boulevard connecting I-490 to E. 105th Street. Of the latter, ODOT has committed $5 million to preliminary plans for the proposed, $300 million Opportunity Corridor, which would bring fresh investment to the city's highest poverty neighborhoods while providing a crucial new access route to University Circle, the city's educational and medical hub, The Plain Dealer's Steven Litt reported in July 2006.

The University Circle portion of the overall $200 million ECTP investment includes accommodations for the new hybrid Bus Rapid Transit line and the promise of spurring new development and connecting with activity in Midtown, downtown and East Cleveland.
