Cleveland Hopkins finishes Central Security Checkpoint Expansion Project
CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) has officially finished their Central Security Checkpoint Expansion Project.
According to a press release from the airport, the project doubles the number of security screening lines and the size of the guest queueing space. They also said it streamlines the CLEAR screening area.
“The Central Checkpoint expansion helps improve the guest experience and reduce congestion at the ticketing level while supporting current passenger needs ahead of future headhouse renovations under CLEvolution, the airport’s long-term vision for modernization, with the Terminal Modernization Development Program (TMDP) serving as its cornerstone,” the release reads.
The airport is also reminding travelers that the airports near the central checkpoint were recently remodeled, opening in November of last year. The price tag for the checkpoint expansion project was $4.8 million, and the restrooms were $1.3 million.
“These improvements are part of our ongoing efforts to modernize the existing terminal while enhancing accessibility, operational efficiency, and the overall passenger experience as we move forward with CLEvolution and the Terminal Modernization Development Program,” said Bryant L. Francis, director of Port Control. “Reconfiguring and expanding the Central Checkpoint allows us to better accommodate passenger demand today while preparing the airport for future growth.”

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – One woman is dead after a crash on I-71 South in Middleburg Heights late Thursday night.
EN ESPAÑOL: Un muerto y un herido tras choque con un camión de trabajo de servicio en la I-71
According to a release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 11:27 p.m. on I-71 South near Bagley Road.
Troopers said that a black 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV driving southbound on Interstate 71 struck a 2017 International MA025 work vehicle that was blocking traffic for crews working in the road.
The driver of the Mercedes-Benz was taken to Southwest General Hospital, where she later died.
Trooper identified her as Christina M. Rivera, 31, of Cleveland.
The driver of the work truck was also taken to Southwest General Hospital for minor injuries.
The truck belonged to Oglesby Construction. 19 News reached out to them and were told safety is a big priority for them.
A preliminary investigation showed that the work truck, with flashing yellow warning lights, was blocking the far-right lane on I-71 to protect a paint crew working in the road.
According to the release, the roadway leading up to the crash was flat and straight.
There were no injuries reported to any other road workers.
Traffic on I-71 was closed for about two hours while the crash was investigated.
The crash remains under investigation.
“The Patrol would like to remind motorists when approaching any vehicle with flashing or rotating lights to move over or slow down and proceed with caution,” the release said.
ODOT has also been putting out warnings all summer as their crews work around the clock.
So far this year their crews have been involved in 58 crashes. That includes people, equipment, and vehicles.

The new Ohio City Farm Store – officially the Glick Farm Store – opens today. The retail store is the latest, greatest addition to the five-acre urban farm, which was launched in 2010.
“The farm’s goal, in supporting the mission of Re:Source Cleveland, is to create as many fair wage employment opportunities for international newcomers (immigrants such as refugees, asylees, and those with temporary protected status) as possible,” says Rachel Ramos, Marketing & Communications Manager for Re:Source.
Often lauded as one of the largest and most productive urban farms in the nation, Ohio City Farm had modest beginnings. Shoppers could visit a weekly farm stand that was housed in a retrofitted shipping container. A CSA program was introduced eight years ago, which boosted sales, visibility and opportunities for the workers. That program has grown to include summer and fall memberships of various sizes and commitments.
Thanks to this new non-profit social enterprise model, the farm has been able to construct high tunnels on the property, which significantly extend the growing season. Still, the lack of any conditioned space remained a major hinderance.
Last year, the farm celebrated the opening of the Roundstone Pavilion (2304 Bridge Ave.), an addition that offers year-round indoor work space with a commercial kitchen and retail shop.
“We’ve been able to extend employment into the winter for those on our team who wanted it, and hired three new team members this year to support those added kitchen and retail operations year-round,” adds Ramos.
The Ohio City Farm Store piggybacks off the successful CSA system, offering a similar selection of fresh, seasonal produce that CSA members get. Also on offer are local pantry staples, bulk ingredients, prepared foods from the kitchen, cookbooks featuring global cuisine or local harvests, and kitchen and garden tools.
“We have been dreaming about having a brick and mortar for a long time,” says Ramos.
Going forward the farm store will be open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays.
