The light-rail Rapid is emerging, once again, as a key component in Shaker’s livability, as livability is defined in 21st-century terms.
What’s your connection? Maybe you remember riding the Rapid to Terminal Tower as a child or you start your day rushing to catch the 8:01 to work. Or maybe it is simply the sound of the train rumbling down the tracks or the sight of the silver striped cars rushing by.
There are two Rapid lines running through Shaker: the Blue Line, which runs on Van Aken Boulevard between Shaker Square and Warrensville Center Road, and the Green Line, which travels along Shaker Boulevard between Shaker Square and Green Road. Here’s how to ride them.
Shaker Square, Larchmere, the Van Aken District, downtown Cleveland, and beyond … all a quick Rapid ride away.
Picture this: You are boarding the Rapid for your daily commute. You settle in, pop on your headphones, shuffle through your playlist, and begin scanning your email. The train pulls into the Onaway Road station and 90 third graders board your train.
