Committee OKs sale of two city parcels to ODOT for I‑90 Central interchange work
Summary
Council committee approved sale of two small city parcels to the Ohio Department of Transportation so ODOT can proceed with the CCG 3A Central Interchange improvements on I‑90 between East Ninth and Carnegie.
CLEVELAND — The committee approved an emergency ordinance authorizing sale of two city-owned parcels to the Ohio Department of Transportation to support construction work in the I‑90 Central interchange area.
The ordinance (No. 498-2025) covers fee-simple sale of a triangular parcel south of Carnegie Avenue at the convergence of East 14th and East 18th and a parcel located within the I‑90 right of way that ODOT acquired when the freeway was built. Commissioner Degenero, speaking with the department director, described the sale as part of ODOT’s Construction Contract Group 3A (CCG 3A) work to improve east‑ and westbound I‑90, replace bridges and reconfigure some ramps and side streets.
Commissioner Degenero told the committee ODOT intends to purchase the parcels for an appraised value of $85,300 and that the project is scheduled to begin in April 2026. The committee record shows the item was vetted in Municipal Services and Property and approved in committee.
No displacement, relocation benefits or environmental review items were discussed at the committee meeting. Council members present expressed support and moved the ordinance forward.
Speakers in the committee discussion identified ODOT’s CCG 3A as the lead construction contract for the Central Interchange and clarified that the parcels are needed to widen Carnegie Avenue and improve turning radii and ramp connections. The ordinance authorizes the mayor and the commissioner of purchases and supplies to complete the sale on terms acceptable for the department.
The sale requires ODOT’s appraisal and purchase process; the ordinance grants authorization for the mayor and purchasing commissioner to effect the sale, and the matter will return for any applicable conveyance documentation.
Speakers and roles cited below are drawn from the May 19 committee record.
