Zaleski vows veto keeps West Ridge out of Corridor plan
State Senator Alan Zaleski told about 450 residents in Russia Township that Governor Voinovich would veto the West Ridge route if locals oppose it, leaving two alternate paths a quarter mile east and west. He said the West Ridge widening will not happen, citing a veto agreement with Paul Mifsud, Voinovich's chief of staff, and noted construction may occur seven years from now with an estimated 43 million cost for a five lane highway. Local officials have challenged the corridor’s promised limited-access design, urging westward construction.
