TRANSIT ROUTES
RTA’s Red Line operates between East Cleveland and Hopkins International Airport. It stops nearby at the West Park Rapid Station. This may be helpful for store employees who live far away. http://www.riderta.com/routes/redline
A popular bus service, #22 on Lorain Avenue, operates all hours the stores are open, and runs between Downtown and West 210th Street, every 15 minutes.

Two bus routes, #83 and #86, also serve the shopping center and other parts of West Park. http://www.riderta.com/routes/83, http://www.riderta.com/routes/86.
TRANSIT STOPS
Eastbound: There is a bus stop sign and bus shelter outside Starbucks, near West. 148 Street. Buses also stop at the crosswalk near Aldi’s main entrance.
Westbound: Buses stop across the street from Aldi, so you can use a crosswalk on Lorain Avenue. Within a few days, RTA crews should mark the two stops near Aldi.
