At Monday's county council meeting, members raised doubts about the funding, suitability of proposed Garfield Heights jail site
But Council, just like the majority of the seven public commenters present, balked often at Dever and English's certainty. Not just believing the $750 million, funded in part by $38 million in ARPA support, would survive the whims of inflation, but also trusting that the site—where I-77 and 480 intersect—could coexist with current RTA routes.
Sunny Simon, of District 11, offered probably the most tense barrage of scrutiny for English and Dever, doubting not just the viability of the $750 million—and how to secure such money—but the credibility of their transportation plan. Dever implied that a staggered shuttle system would be used to transport detainees from the courts downtown to Garfield Heights. In sufficient time, too.
For the public commenters, who ranged from current local officials to social justice advocates, the location was of paramount concern. "The location best suited for transportation needs and access to services is Downtown," Henton concluded.
