The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is currently renovating the Shaker Heights trolley line, rebuilding the line's 15 mi of track and replacing the old trolleys with new light rail vehicles. New crossovers will be installed on the 3.2 mi of grade-separated, double-track trunk line where the Shaker Heights system feeds into the Red Line rapid transit track. Other improvements planned for the near future include a new $31 million central rail maintenance complex, a $38 million cab signaling project, and an order for 60 rapid transit cars for the 19.2 mi Red Line.
