The re-designed Public Square, under construction, has been nicknamed the Jimmy Dimora Square because of corruption involved in the process.

The $50 million project is scheduled for completion in time for the Republican National Convention in July 2016.

In addition, RTA has incurred costs from relocation of bus shelters, delays from traffic gridlocks, maintenance of traffic, etc. RTA does not have a figure because they claim they were not keeping tab of the costs. There will be additional costs from installation of eight new bus shelters and additional operational costs from traffic delays once the construction is complete.

So far, since August 2014, there have been nearly 640 hours of demonstrations – first with the LEAVE PUBLIC SQUARE ALONE signs and now with WELCOME JIMMY DIMORA PUBLIC SQUARE signs.

The demonstrations continue unabated with the goal of educating the public about corruption in Cuyahoga county.
