Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today sent a letter to Jolene Molitoris, Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation, requesting that the State of Ohio solicit design proposals that include a safe, separate way for bikers and pedestrians for the I-90 Innerbelt Bridge project.
“I understand that you have concerns about timing and not losing federal money if there would be a delay in spending our allocations on time. I also understand that safety is, and should be, the most important factor in designing and building our transportation infrastructure. Be assured that I am in close contact with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). I have preliminary assurances that it is not too late to consider bridge design alternatives that are inclusive of the many non-motorized modes of transportation,” wrote Kucinich.
